I recall there was another George Washington story from the Revolutionary War that is similar. A British sniper was in a tree and had Washington in his sights but for some reason could not pull the trigger.
I do not remember any of the details but I was reminded of it as I read this article. Maybe someone here has better memory than I do.

It brings to mind the scripture that says; Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm. I'm not implying that they are Prophets of God, but I am implying that they were/are called to such a high calling that they would be anointed & protected by God.
In The First Conspiracy, thriller writer Brad Meltzer uncovers a real-life story too good to turn into fiction
I found the story where all good stories start, which is in the footnotes. I canтАЩt even tell you what book it was. It was almost a decade ago. I was going through the footnotes, and I saw this story. I remember going, тАЬWait, they were trying to kill George Washington. Is that real? Is that fake? Is that something that you just find on the internet?тАЭ
George Washington was not that person. He didn't brag or boast. He realized that to hold his army together and maintain the support of the public and the Continental Congress, he had to maintain an image of impeccable integrity and good character. Perception matters and all eyes were on him. He had to inspire trust. He made mistakes from a military point of view, and he took the criticism for it, but it was hard to doubt his honesty and his devotion to the cause.
