In the Gardens at Mount Vernon

George Washington lived few of his child
hood years there He was about eight years old
when the family took up residence on the STAFF
ford county estate which George inherited in
1743 His father a man Of landed wealth,
and evidently enterprising He made several
trading voyages to England sent his two eldest
sons, Lawrence and Augustine (Austine). to
school in England, profted by the sale Of iron
ore deposits on his Stafford county estate to a
smelling company and the carrying of cargoes
of pig iron to England.
All of the children Of Augustine Washington
received good inheritance, but inasmuch
the Hunting Greek estate was bequeathed to
the eldest son Lawrence it seems likely that
their father looked upon it his principal
estate though he lived on the Fredericksburg
plantation Lawrence Washington served as a
captain under Admiral Vernon In the exped-
ton against Cartagena, In 174O, and never re-
covered from the effects of that brief campaign,
though death did not come to him until another
twelve years had passed. Lord Fairfax, whose
estate adjoined that of the Washingtons was
also at Cartagena and this wartime friendship
between the two families was to grow closer in
later years through the marriage of Lawrence
Washington into the Fairfax family and the
fondness Of Lord Fairfax for George
In 1743, after inheriting the Hunting Creek
estate, Lawrence Washington built house that
was in keeping with his station, and renamed
the estate Mount vernon, IN nOnOr or the Brit
ish admiral under whom he had served. Wealthy
and of good family, Capt. Lawrence Washing
ton lived in gentemanly state at Mount Vernon
Lawrence was fond of his half-brother George
this fondness developing almost into guardian
ship, George loved his brother. and was fond
of Mount Vernon, too; SO, much of his time in
adolescent years was spent at Mount Vernon.
In 1851 he accompanied his haf-brother
Lawrence to Barbados, whittier the latter had
been ordered by the family physician But
Lawrence did not regain his health, and George
himself contracted smallpox. This slightly
pitted his face for life. Lawrence died in 1852,
and at his death George became responsible
for the administration Of Mount Vernon and
also for the care of his niece, Lawrences only
child The daughter did not long survive her
father, and at her death George Washington,
by the terms of her fathers will, inherited
Mount Vernon.
During the period Of peace-the calm before
the storm-Colonel Washington saw much Of
Mount Vernon In 1885, he married the richest
woman in the Potomac region. Martha. the
widow Of Daniel Parke Custis OF the next few
years in Washngton's life one historian has
written
"His style Of life as the lord Of Mount Vernon
was almost baronial. He had chariot and four,
with black positions in livery, for the use Of his
wife, while he himself always appeared on horse
back the finest rider in Virginia. His house was
