He was probably named after George Eskridge, a lawyer in whose charge Washingtons mother had been left when she was orphaned. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Washington was a large, powerful man about 6 feet 2 inches tall, 175 pounds in his prime, up to more than 200 pounds in later years.
Erect in bearing, muscular, broad shouldered, he had large hands and feet size 13 shoes, a long face with high cheekbones, a large straight nose, determined chin, blue-gray eyes beneath heavy brows and dark brown hair, which on formal occasions he powdered and tied in a queue. His fair complexion bore the marks of smallpox he contracted as a young man. He lost his teeth, probably to gum disease, and wore dentures.
According to Dr. Reidar Sognnaes, former dean of the University of California at Los Angeles School of Dentistry, who has made a detailed study of Washingtons bridgework, he was fitted with numerous sets of dentures, fashioned variously from lead, ivory, and the teeth of humans, cows, and other animals, but not from wood, as was popularly believed.
Moreover, he was not completely toothless.
Upon his inauguration as president, Washington had one of his own teeth left to work alongside the dentures.
He began wearing reading glasses during the Revolution.
He dressed fashionably.
