Washington, Martha, 1731-1802

Katherine Cabell Claiborne informs S. Weir Mitchell of the progress that the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Virginia are making in the restoration of the graves of Augustine and Jane Washington. She also writes that the Virginia Dames have copied, printed, and put on sale the parish register of St. Peter’s Church, where Martha Washington attended. If that is a success, they will copy the parish vestry as well.
