• Notes

  Revolutionary War General and First Constitutional President of the United States - Martha Washington's first husband, Daniel Parke Custis died intestate. Marthat received the lifetime use of one-third of his property ("dower share"), with the other two-thirds held in trust for their children. Upon her marriage to George Washington, the dower share, including the "dower negroes," came under Washington's control, pursuant to the common law doctrine of seisin jure uxoris, but upon his death, reverted to her, and then, upon her death, to her first husband's children. Because of Martha Washington's "dower share" (which included 153 enslaved Africans in 1799), the Custis Estate was not liquidated until after her 1802 death.
