1859 George Washington descendant rents out his slave

Item Details

Description

Heading: (African-American, 1859)
Author: Drew, F. W.
Title: President Washington descendant and namesake rents out his slave
Place Published: Charles Town, Virginia
Publisher:
Date Published: 1859
Description:

Autograph Document Signed. Dec. 19, 1859. 1pg. with docketing note on verso.

Receipt to George L. Washington for $20 payment for one year "hire of Negro woman Letty & Children"

George Lafayette Washington was the grandson of George Steptoe Washington, the favorite (though wayward) nephew of President Washington, who supported him and paid for his education. Both George Lafayette and Drew owned plantations near Charlestown (later in West Virginia) but also apparently had homes in Harper's Ferry (of John Brown fame). Drew himself was descendant of a Virginia lawyer who was also well-known to the first American President.
