I'm wondering if there's anyone on this list who's done any research on Pres. George Washington's family. Specifically his uncles and aunts. I don't know if this is the right list to post this querie, but I figure if it's not the right place, someone could direct me to the right list. I'm having problems with researching George's aunt Mildred. Thanks for any help. -- Cara Showers Anchorage, Alaska cara@dcdesign.com

Cara: A number of George Washington's kin are buried at Highgate Plantation Cemetery, in Gloucester Co. (Va.) Highgate is referred to as the Home of the Washington's. Mildred Warner Reede, of Warner Hall, married Lawrence Washington, eldest son of Col. John Washington, the immigrant in 1691. Within a few years, she was widowed with 3 children, John Augustine and Mildred. John, the eldest, married Catharine Whiting of Gloucester and made their home at Highgate, on the Piankatank River. Augustine made his home in Westmoreland Co. and as his second wife married Mary Ball who were the parents of Gen. George Washington. Mildred married first to John Lewis (d. 1718), son of Capt. Edward Lewis; second to Roger Gregory and third to Lewis Willis. Jane Goodsell, CC Gloucester Co., VaGenWeb
