| | George Wythe |
 | | George Wythe was one of the very most distinguished men of his age, yet due to his modesty and quite dignity, we learn little about him from the history books. | | | A young member of his family, on discovering that Wythe had conditionally willed part of the family property to his slaves, decided to enlarge his own share by poisoning them with arsenic. | | | George entered the college of William and Mary but was unable to keep up with the fees. |
