People are not born, die etc in Washington on the Brazos. There never has been a town or village or community called Washington-on-the-Brazos, It has been referred to that way, but all official documents, such as deeds, death certificates, birth certificates refer to as Washington
There is a community named Washington, Texas in Washington County, Texas..
Google zip 77880, it will read "Washington, Texas.
Please change the data base to reflect "Washington, Washington, Texas, United States".
WOTB would be "Washington-on-the-Brazos, Washington, Washington, Texas, United States"
i.e. "The Alamo, San Antonio, Bexar, Texas, United States"
