George Washington Witherspoon (December 15, 1845 – January 2, 1892) was a shoemaker, A.M.E. minister, and state legislator in Florida.[1]
Witherspoon was born in the South Carolina's Sumter District. He represented Jefferson County in the Florida House of Representatives in 1875, 1877, 1879, and 1883. He was a Republican Party candidate for a seat in the U.S. Congress in 1880.[2] He won the Republican Party nomination over Malachi Martin but lost the general election to a Democrat whose majority was attributed to fraud.[3] He served as a councilman in Pensacola, Florida from 1885 to 1889.[1]
