The fantastic stories about George Washington were written by a british author after the brits lost the war. The author was trying to be satirical and trying to make fun. The stories stuck. Go figure.

You didn't name him, but Parson Weems, an American, was the author of pretty much all of the famous far-fetched stories about Washington. Just an FYI sort of thing, I'm not saying George Washington was really just the Prince of Orange repackaged or anything.)
