Papers of the First Ladies
"Oldest daughter of John and Frances Dandridge, she was born June 2, 1731, on a plantation near
Williamsburg. Typical for a girl in an 18th-century family, her education was almost negligible
except in domestic and social skills, but she learned all the arts of a well-ordered household and
how to keep a family contented.
As a girl of 18--about five feet tall, dark-haired, gentle of manner--she married the wealthy
Daniel Park Custis. Two babies died; two were hardly past infancy when her husband died in
1757. "
Martha Dandridge Custis Washington
"Martha Dandridge Custis Washington was born at Chestnut Grove in New Kent County, Virginia,
on June 2, 1731. Her father, John Dandridge (1700/1701-1756), Parents were John Dandridge and Ann Dandridgehad emigrated to Virginia from
England with his older brother William when John was either 13 or 14 years old. He had settled
in New Kent County and had become clerk of the county in 1730, the year he married Martha's
mother, Frances Jones (1710-1785) of York County.Parents were Orlando Jones and Mary (West)Macon Frances had some Williamsburg
connections; her widowed mother had lived in Williamsburg with her second husband,
watchmaker John Flournoy, and her grandfather Rowland Jones (Martha's great-grandfather) had
been the first rector of the newly formed Bruton Parish Church from 1674 until his death in 1688.
Martha was the eldest of three brothers and five sisters, the youngest of whom was born when
Martha was 25 and had already had four children of her own. Martha married Colonel Daniel
Parke Custis in 1750 and lived in his Pumunkey River mansion called White House. Custis
managed the large New Kent County plantation of his father, Councillor John Custis, who lived
at the brick house known as Custis Square in Williamsburg.
Martha and Daniel Custis had four children: Daniel, born in 1751; Frances, born in 1753; John
(Jacky) born in 1755; and Martha (Patsy), born in 1756 or 1757. Unfortunately, Daniel only
lived three years and Frances four. On July 26, 1757, when Martha Custis was only 26 years
old, her husband died suddenly. "
