George Washington
George Washington married Martha Dandridge
Custis in 1759. The day that he spent at her neighbor's house was a day
of enchantment, they accidentally met and they fell in love with each other.
The owner's of the house notice that even in her mourning dresses, Martha
let her radiant
youth shine through.
Martha's
children
liked George also, they spent the whole day playing with George and his
men. Patsy was playing so hard that she got another one of her coughing
spells. They were delighted when their mother told them of the news of
their engagement.
