Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration Commemorative of the Character of Mrs. Mary Washington Charming indeed, is the task, of contemplat ing a consistently moral, and wise Mother's cha racter; it is like viewing at a distance, a goddess of love, through glasses framed with gold. To be hold the full-lighted-moon, sinking gently into the broad stretched arms of a blue horizon, is beautiful; but to gaze upon a venerable matron, mantled with mind and virtue, leaving behind her a family of Biblical lights, and prayerfully resigning herself to a terrorless tomb, is the most beautiful sight on earth. If Seraphs look hither and smile upon the dutiful deeds of mag nificent man; surely the Everlasting himself, looks fondly down, upon the more than angelic acts of worthy woman, and smiles again the smile, which ages of ages ago illumed creation illimitably. This rocky Globe, may be dissolv ed into a gasseous mist; yet woman's nature shall never wear away. Yon orb'sbright streams, may be shut off this instant; yet woman's brighter name, shall blaze on forever. This ray of gratitude, to the Mother of Washington, I dedicate.

THE STORY OF MARY WASHINGTON CHAPTER I. The counties of Westmoreland, Richmond, Northumberland, and Lancaster, in eastern Virginia, form the peninsula that separates the Rappahannock from the Potomac River. In the year 1700, Lancaster County lent character to the "Northern Neck," famed for broad plantations and for the wealth and refinement of the inhabitants. The largest landholder in this region was Robert Carter, of Corotoman, a territorial grant washed upon the east by the Chesapeake, and upon the south by the Rappahannock. The latter is a lordly stream at this point, and navigable for over a hundred miles from the mouth. John Carter, the father of Robert, built in 1670 the first Episcopal church on the Neck. His name had headed the list of parish vestrymen in 1654, preceding that of the clergyman, -- an arbitrary order followed in the cases of his namesake-son John, and Robert, surnamed "King" Carter, the greatest of the line. The temper and customs of the day and country were semi-feudal; leaders were few in number and despotic in spirit. If planters and small farmers dwelt together in unity it was because the autocrat's position was not questioned. So near to Christ Church which the first Carter had builded, that the two were early in the eighteenth century united into one parish, was St. Mary's White Chapel; the place of worship for those belonging to this parish was a chapel-of-ease of the motherchurch. Prominent among her vestrymen for almost one hundred years was the name of Ball. It occurs so frequently upon the crumbling tombstones paving the old churchyard as to persuade one into the idea that this was, at the first, a family buryingground, and the chapel an afterthought. The present building, erected in 1740, occu

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mother of Washington: And Her Times The mothers of famous men survive only in their sons. This is a rule almost as invariable as a law of nature. Whatever the aspirations and energies of the mother, memorable achievement is not for her. No memoir has been written in this country of the women who bore, fostered, and trained our great men. What do we know of the mother of Daniel Webster, or John Adams, or Patrick Henry, or Andrew Jackson, or of the mothers of our Revolutionary generals? When the American boy studies the history of his country, his soul soars within him as he reads of his own forefathers: how they rescued a wilderness from the savage and caused it to bloom into fruitful fields and gardens, how they won its independence through eight years of hardship and struggle, how they assured its prosperity by a wise Constitution and firm laws.

This left Mary Washington to bring up her own little brood by themselves. Next after little George came Betty, then Samuel, John Augustine, and Charles followed in quick succession; and last of all, Baby Mildred, who died in fourteen months This was George Washington's first great sorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful biography of Mary Ball Washington, the mother of our nation's father The Widow Washington is the first life of Mary Ball Washington, George Washington’s mother, based on archival sources. Her son’s biographers have, for the most part, painted her as self-centered and crude, a trial and an obstacle to her oldest child. But the records tell a very different story. Mary Ball, the daughter of a wealthy planter and a formerly indentured servant, was orphaned young and grew up working hard, practicing frugality and piety. Stepping into Virginia’s upper class, she married an older man, the planter Augustine Washington, with whom she had five children before his death eleven years later. As a widow deprived of most of her late husband’s properties, Mary struggled to raise her children, but managed to secure them places among Virginia’s elite. In her later years, she and her wealthy son George had a contentious relationship, often disagreeing over money, with George dismissing as imaginary her fears of poverty and helplessness. Yet Mary Ball Washington had a greater impact on George than mothers of that time and place usually had on their sons. George did not have the wealth or freedom to enjoy the indulged adolescence typical of young men among the planter class. Mary’s demanding mothering imbued him with many of the moral and religious principles by which he lived. The two were strikingly similar, though the commanding demeanor, persistence, athleticism, penny-pinching, and irascibility that they shared have served the memory of the country’s father immeasurably better than that of his mother. Martha Saxton’s The Widow Washington is a necessary and deeply insightful corrective, telling the story of Mary’s long, arduous life on its own terms, and not treating her as her son’s satellite.
