It is related in Weems' "Life of Washington," that when Washington went out as surveyor for Lord Fairfax, in Virginia, he passed most of his evenings at the home of Widow Stevenson. This lady had seven sons, all noted for their splendid physical qualities. Two of these were by her first husband, whose name was Crawford, and their names were William and Valentine Crawford. Her sons, by her second husband, Stevenson, were James, Hugh, Richard, Mark and John. The historian says that the boys always spent their evenings together, particularly in the summer, and indulged in athletic exercises on the lawn in front of the Stevenson home. The Stevensons and Crawfords excelled in feats of strengths, but Washington in agility. The friendship thus formed between Washington and the sons of Widow Stevenson, continued after the former had been placed in command of the revolutionary forces, and he offered commissions to all of them who would enter the army. William Crawford and James and Hugh Stevenson availed themselves of his offer, and served throughout the war.
