Martha Washington’s niece, Fanny Bassett (1767-1796), daughter of Burwell Bassett and Anna Maria Dandridge, came to live at Mount Vernon around 1780, after the death of her mother, and was considered a daughter by Martha. Fanny married George Washington’s favorite nephew, George Augustine Washington (1759-1793), and the young couple made their home at Mount Vernon, helping to manage the plantation until their untimely deaths. George Washington was the executor for the will of George Augustine Washington (who was named after the father President Washington). 2nd item: Red velvet top coat remnant, purportedly belonging to George Washington, now sewn into the form of a sphere. Hand written note included with item states that it passed from “Cousin Lizzie, granddaughter of John Adams to his first —— grandmother Susan D H Boyd”.

Annette was married to Charles Harrod Boyd and had four children, including Julia Wingate Boyd (wife of Lewis M. Coleman, Jr.). Lewis M. Coleman, Jr. was the son of CSA Lt. Colonel Lewis M. Coleman and Mary Ambler Marshall, granddaughter of John Marshall (1755-1835), fourth Chief Justice of the United States, a friend, attorney and biographer of George Washington.
