There is one resource that I thought of trying and it turns out to be amazing. In The Diaries of George Washington 1748-1770, Vol. 1, edited by John F. Fitzpatrick ,George mentions everyone one he had contact with. There are foot notes with great genealogical references, an example:

George William Fairfax (1725 -1787) was the eldest son of Honorable William Fairfax and his second wife Sarah Walker. He was born at Providence, Bahama Island 2 Jan 1724/5*. . . Resource

There are too many surnames to try and copy here. Your Liberian will be able to find a copy. There is no index, so I can not look up people.
