Dinwiddie

Dinwiddie sincerely believed that the land upon which the French fort had been built was English territory.

Tramping thus through the wilderness in the dead of winter, Washington found out all Governor Dinwiddie wished.

Governor Dinwiddie's renewal of George's commission on his return, imposed immediate military duties upon him.

Governor Dinwiddie found it necessary to send an ambassador to the French on the Ohio, to inquire into their claims and purposes.

In these circumstances, Governor Dinwiddie found it difficult to secure a responsible party to accept the commission.
