BLACK MAN WAS FOREFATHER
After the American Revolution all people called Billy Lee, Mr Billy Lee.
Historians of the day did call him Washington's slave. He was not. He had an
Honorable Discharge and was a Warrant Officer, carried a carbine, rode a famous horse,
Chinkling. He was the best horseman in the Colonies. He saved Washington's life
at least two times. He did Washington's finances. He Was Colonel Lee's SON.
Washington signed Lee's Honorable Dischrge.
The title "Mr." is reserved for Warrant Officers.
Historians refused to research this and this is an important fact.
Even today this is is not taught. For that matter the extraordinary life of Commander-
in-Chief George Washington is not taught in schools now or in the past when I went
to school--Shame.
By the way. the definition of chinkling is caulking used to keep logs together in houses.
Perhaps this name can help heal the false history of these two great men.
