Tidbits

Question: What do the 3 Washington families from Coosa Co. AL (Pontotoc MS), St. Clair Co. AL and Rome GA have in common?
Answer: All are related to the McKinney family in some form.

Washington Humor

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras.
One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs," therefore painting them
would cost the buyer more. Hence the __expression, "okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."

Washington Stories

Story as seen in the Calhoun County Journal, The Unsung Life Of A Lousy Lad: 2006, By Egbert Phillips. Egbert Phillips was a native of Pontotoc County who later in life donated the land for the Boy Scouts' Camp Phillips. The story was provided by Bob Cooper who recently found it in some of his files. The story highlights past days with John C. Washington and family.
