After George and Martha Washington died, Mount Vernon was inherited by their adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis. Martha Washington had no biological children, but she and George Washington raised Custis as their own. Following Custis's death in 1857, the estate eventually passed to his daughter, Mary Anna Custis Lee, who was married to Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
