Answer:
George's father, Augustine Washington, was a leading planter in the area and also served as a justice of the county court.
Augustine Washington's first wife, Jane Butler, died in 1729, leaving him with two sons, Lawrence and Augustine, Jr., and a daughter, Jane. The elder Augustine then married George's mother, Mary Ball Washington, in 1731. George was the eldest of Augustine Washington's and Mary Ball's six children: George, Elizabeth, Samuel, John Augustine, Charles, and Mildred.
Move to Ferry Farm
In 1734, Augustine moved the family up the Potomac River to another Washington home, Little Hunting Creek Plantation (later renamed Mount Vernon). In 1738, they moved again to Ferry Farm, a plantation on the Rappahannock River near Fredericksburg, Virginia, where George spent much of his youth.
