'''Martha Washington''' (1731 - 1802) was the wife of [[George Washington]] and the first [[First Lady]] of the [[United States of America]].
''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.'' [http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/mw1.html Biography] The White House.
She married George Washington in 1759. They lie buried at Mount Vernon.
