On January 6, 1759 George Washington married Martha Dandridge Custis, a young and wealthy women with two children named John ( Jack), and Martha (Patsy). John and Martha's nicknames were Jack and Patsy. Martha used to be married to Daniel Park Custis, one of Virginia's richest landowners, until he died in 1757. Martha Washington raised her son Jack and daughter Patsy and took care of their house at Mt. Vernon while George was away at war. At the age of 17 Patsy died, and at the age of 26 Jack died. When George was made the first United States president, Martha and Jacks two children moved with George to the temporary capitals in New York and then Philadelphia, where she earned a reputation as a nice women. After Washington's two terms as president they retired and went to Mt. Vernon where he died in 1799. Martha died less than three years after at the age of 70. [|Read More]

Martha Washington was a very important person during the war because she made clothes for the solders and cooked for the solders. She followed them around during the war in case they got hurt. She is a very kind and responsable person. Although Martha didn't enjoy being the First Lady, she didn't give up on the responsibilities she had to be the First Lady.
