  • Notes 
    • From FindaGrave:

      Betty Washington was the only sister of President George Washington that lived to adulthood. Betty married Fielding Lewis and together they lived in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Fielding built the Kenmore estate in Fredericksburg which became their new home. After her husband's death in 1781 Betty moved to Western View plantation in Culpeper, Virginia to live with her daughter. Betty Washington spent the remaining days of her life there until her death in 1797.
