Martha Custis Washington a Veiled Romantic Tale of Love
The article recounts the marriage of Martha Custis to George Washington, describing her aristocratic Virginia background born May 1732, her beauty and charm, and how a fortuitous meeting at Mount Vernon led to a union that augmented Washington’s fortune. It narrates their early courtship on a visit to Colonel Chamberlayne, their elopement style marriage in 1759, and notes Washington’s departure for the war while Mrs. Washington joined him to Cambridge, later returning to Virginia.
