Reading edition
Mary G. Powell, History of Old Alexandria, Va. (Richmond, Va.: William Byrd Press, 1928), p.155. According to A. J. Morrison in The Beginnings of Public Education in Virginia, 1776-1860 (Richmond, Va.: Virginia State Board of Education, 1917), while the Alexandria Academy was incorporated in 1786 with George Washington as one of the trustees, the school seemingly predated its incorporation.
