Hello,
 Well George Washington was opposed to any King in this country that is a fact
of history.

 As for any chidlren. It is also said by knowledgeable historians that he had
many liasons before marrying and no children were known of from these, and of
course was married to Martha for quite awhile and she had 4 children with her
first yet never any by Washington. Seems back then when so many married people
had so many children that surely she would have been pregnant at least once if
he was able to have children.

And I think hsitorians have found out a lot more on Washington and all of the
founding fathers since many years ago wehn that article was written.

No doubt in my mind that Jefferson had children with Sally Hemmings who was
said to also be his wife's half-sister.

But it seems that Washington never had any children with anyone. Unfortunately.
