No he did not have a gambling problem and according to some of his papers he considered it a severe vice which could bring otherwise good people into destitute conditions and ruin a good family name. Washington was not a man to leave much to chance... ever. Notice how he conducted the war itself. As much planning as possible. He ran his farm and business' the same way.

Betsy Ross was a proper lady and married with numerous children, as I read in one book. Did you know there is some doubt as to her ever sewing a flag for ANYBODY?
