Notes - Biography
Grandmother of President George Washington
Mildred Warner, born 1671, in Warner Hall, Gloucester, Virginia, United States was the daughter of Augustine Warner of Gloucester Co., Virginia, Speaker of The Virginia House of Burgesses. She first married Captain Lawrence Washington, in 1688/9[1], having three children from that union: John (the eldest), Augustine, the father of President George Washington, and daughter, Mildred. Upon Lawrence's death, in 1699, Mildred married Colonel George Gale, a merchant, in 1700, with the family relocating to Whitehaven, located on the west coast of England. It is said that on January 24, 1701,[2] while nearing the end of her pregnancy and possibly acquiring a fever, Mildred made out her will. Then, on January 30,1701, after experiencing a difficult childbirth, she died, followed by the burial of her newly-born daughter, on May 26, 1701. Inasmuch as she died in Whitehaven, England, with a commemorative plaque placed on the wall at her Warner family ancestral cemetery, in Naxera, Gloucester County, stating that she was buried in St. Nicholas Churchyard, Whitehaven, England [3], she was, in fact, buried at the George Washington Birthplace National Monument in Colonial Beach, Westmoreland County, Virginia[4] Initially, her husband, George, was given custody of her children, as stipulated in her will. However, after petitioning the courts, John Washington, Lawrence Washington's cousin, was eventually granted guardianship of her children, and subsequently, returned them to Virginia, in 1704.[5][6]
"In connection with this the beginning of that war, may we not call to mind and proudly boast that the blood of a Gloucester woman, Mildred Warner, [7] courses through the veins of a grandchild, who was called to the command of the Continental armies, guided the destinies of that great struggle, secured the independence of the Colonies and gained for himself the imperishable title of "Father of his Country".
