Since the governors at that time were largely absentee, he was the defacto head of the colony for much of the time. Dinwiddie also sent an eight-man expedition under George Washington to warn the French to withdraw. Washington, then only 21 years old, made the journey in midwinter of 1753-54. Washington arrived at Fort Le Boeuf on 11 December 1753. Dinwiddie's actions as lieutenant governor are cited by one historian as precipitating the French and Indian War, commonly held to have begun in 1754. He wanted to limit French expansion in Ohio Country, an area claimed by the Virginia Colony and in which the Ohio Company, of which he was a stockholder, had made preliminary surveys and some small settlements. He married some time before 1738 Rebecca Auchinleck (or Afflick) and together they had two children; Rebecca Dinwiddie and Elizabeth Dinwiddie.
