[3] After their father's death, he and brother Lawrence Augustine and sister Harriet, went to live with their uncle George Washington.

[5] The future president paid for him and his brother to be educated at Georgetown academy,[4][6] According to historian Ron Chernow, "they were wild and uncontrollable and a constant trial to Washington".

Washington studied law in Philadelphia with Edmund Randolph, and later briefly served as his uncle's secretary.

[9] While in Philadelphia in 1793, George, who was twenty-two years of age, eloped with Lucy Anne Payne (1769–1846), a sister of future First Lady Dolley Madison.

On January 10, 1809, George Steptoe Washington died of consumption at the age of thirty-seven in Augusta, Georgia, where he had gone to establish another plantation.

His widow subsequently married Judge Thomas Todd, who was an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
