He designed, surveyed and built his local church, Pohick, and he was a vestryman. Why would he refuse to take communion? Apparently there have been tales for quite a while. Alexander Hamilton's wife reportedly told her great grandson in 1854 at age 97:

"If anyone ever tells you that George Washington was not a communicant in the Church, you say that your great-grandmother told you to say that she 'had knelt at this chancel rail at his side and received with him the Holy Communion.'"

This was related by him in 1915.

It amazes me to no end that there were so many people alive in the early part of the twentieth century, who knew firsthand those who had been intimate with the leading figures of the founding of America.

There was a gentleman named Samuel Seymour who passed away in 1956. He was 96. A few months before he died he appeared on the TV show I've Got A Secret. What was Mr. Seymour's claim to fame? He was the last living witness of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

A boy who saw Booth shoot Lincoln lived long enough to talk about it on national television.

When you think about it, time truly is like the blink of an eye. And two thousand years since the time of Christ is hardly anything.
