The Dark Side of George Washington: A Startling Look into America’s First Family (2017)
Martha Dandridge was born on June 13, 1731 (O.S. June 2) on her parents' plantation Chestnut Grove in the British colony, Province of Virginia. About the book:
She was the oldest daughter of John Dandridge (1700–1756), a Virginia planter and immigrant from England, by his wife Frances Jones (1710–1785), who was of American birth and English, Welsh, and French descent.[4] Martha had three brothers and four sisters: John (1733–1749), William (1734–1776), Bartholomew (1737–1785), Anna Marie Fanny Bassett (1739–1777), Frances Dandridge (1744–1757), Elizabeth Aylet Henley (1749–1800) and Mary Dandridge (1756–1763).
On May 15, 1750, at age 18, Martha married Daniel Parke Custis, a rich planter two decades her senior, and moved to his residence, White House Plantation, located on the south shore of the Pamunkey River, a few miles upriver from Chestnut Grove. They had four children together: Daniel, Frances, John, and Martha. Daniel (1751–1754) and Frances (1753–1757) died in childhood. The other two children, John (Jacky) Parke Custis (1754–1781) and Martha (Patsy) Parke Custis (1756–1773), survived to young adulthood. Her husband's death in 1757 left Martha a rich young widow at age 25, with independent control over a dower inheritance for her lifetime, and trustee control over the inheritance of her minor children. In all, she was left in custody of some 17,500 acres of land and 300 slaves, apart from other investments and cash.[7] According to her biographist, she capably ran the five plantations left to her when her first husband died, bargaining with London merchants for the best tobacco prices.
Martha Dandridge Custis, age 27, and George Washington, age nearly 27, married on January 6, 1759, at the White House plantation. As a man who lived and owned property in the area, Washington likely knew both Martha and Daniel Parke Custis for some time before Daniel's death. During March 1758 he visited her twice at White House; the second time he came away with either an engagement of marriage or at least her promise to think about his proposal. At the time, she was also being courted by the planter Charles Carter, who was even wealthier than Washington.[8]
The wedding was grand. Washington's suit was of blue and silver cloth with red trimming and gold knee buckles.[9] The bride wore purple silk shoes with spangled buckles, which are occasionally displayed at Mount Vernon.[8] The couple honeymooned at White House for several weeks before setting up house at Washington's Mount Vernon estate. They appeared to have had a solid marriage.[8][9] Martha and George Washington had no children together, but they raised Martha's two surviving children. Her daughter, nicknamed Patsy, died as a teenager during an epileptic seizure, classed as SUDEP. John Parke Jacky Custis returned from college to comfort his mother.
Custis later married and had children; he served as an aide to Washington during the siege of Yorktown in 1781 during the American Revolutionary War. He died of camp fever (probably epidemic typhus). After his death, the Washingtons raised two of John's four children, Eleanor (Nelly) Parke Custis (March 31, 1779 - July 15, 1852), and George Washington Parke Custis (April 30, 1781 - October 10, 1857). They also provided personal and financial support to nieces, nephews and other family members in both the Dandridge and Washington families.
Content to live a private life at Mount Vernon and her homes from the Custis estate, Martha Washington followed Washington to his winter encampments for each of eight years. She helped keep up morale among the officers.

The American Prohibition Museum - Savannah GA
See more at
The prohibition era was a tumultuous time in American history. From those in favor of to those against, combined with the people who made millions of dollars defying the ban, conflict was rampant. One thing was certain: There was a ban in place, and it was not working. In Savannah GA, there is a museum dedicated to telling the whole story of the prohibition era, which is much more than you read in the history books! A trip to the American Prohibition Museum – the ONLY museum in the United States dedicated to this era – will enlighten you with their life-like wax figures and exciting multimedia exhibits. It is a sensational place to visit, and we can’t wait to return!
EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Times were tough during the late 1920s and the Great Depression era. There were no jobs; banks were closing and people were hungry. What’s worse? They couldn’t even legally drown their sorrows with a cold drink of alcohol!
Prohibition, as it was known, banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors in America from 1919-1933. Ratified on January 29, 1919, the 18th Amendment made it a legal piece of legislation. But, even before 1919, there was a movement under foot to ban booze, beer, wine and the lot from American society. Many thought that intoxicating drinks were the devil’s work. These evil spirits caused good men to go bad and families to shatter. One such person was Carry A. Nation. In the early 1900s, Carry felt it was her mission and a calling from God to stop people from drinking alcohol. She prayed and sang hymns in front of bars, and soon they closed. When that didn’t work, she started carrying a small hatchet, and upon entering the business, would attack the bar until patrons stopped her from the destruction.
You gotta admit, this must have gotten some attention!
Both local and federal government struggled to enforce Prohibition. The thinking behind prohibiting the creation and sale of alcohol was well intended, but the end result meant unregulated moonshine, bootleggers, speakeasies and gangsters.
Mobsters like Al Capone made an amazing $60 million annually from bootleg operations and speakeasies. That is equivalent to almost $900 million in today’s dollars!
What ended prohibition? Probably the fact that it wasn’t really working, and in the process, was helping to fuel mobster income and illegal sales. In 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed, and it became legal to create and distribute alcohol again.
And today, I am here in Savannah Georgia at the American Prohibition Museum. Within this museum are exhibits, galleries and many facts about a very dry period in American history. It is a great place to explore and learn about a time in history when having a drink could mean going to jail. Thanks for watching! We’ll see you next time on Stories, Secrets and Sagas.
