Biography
Mildred Warner was the child of Mildred Reade and Augustine Warner, Jr.. The grandmother of George Washington the first President of the United States, was born in Virginia about 1671. She was also born into a very prestigious Virginian family. Her grandfather had been acting governor of Virginia and her father Speaker of its House of Burgesses. She married into another important family in 1686 with the marriage to Lawrence Washington with whom she had three children John, Augustine and Mildred. Upon his death Lawrence gave Mildred and his children shares of his estate with the profits from their lands to be administered by Mildred for their education and upbringing.
In 1700 Mildred Washington then married George Gale who was part of a family of Whitehaven merchants trading with Virginia. The Gales were Irish dissenters who had fled Tralee and after suffering in Newcastle had set up in Whitehaven about 1665 under the more sympathetic wing of John Lowther. In fact John Gale appears to have lived on land originally occupied by the Wyberghs known as the Old Hall which probably became Christopher Lowther's first residence in Whitehaven.
Mildred Warner is the grandmother of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Mildred married Lawrence Washington. It was from this marriage in which Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was born. After the death of Lawrence Washington, she married George Gale and is buried in St. Nicholas Church Cem., Whitehaven, England. Maintained by: Find A Grave Record added: Apr 17, 2001
Mildred's will was made January 24th, 1700-1, and it was proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Richmond (Copeland Deanery) the following March on the 18th. There she was described as wife of George Gale of Whitehaven, Cumberland, "being doubtful of the recovery of my present sickness;" she states that "by an Indenture of Marriage made and executed by and between John Washington one of the executors of my late husband's will of the one part, and my present husband George Gale with my own consent and approbation thereof of the other part bearing date 16 May in the present year 1700* I am empowered to demise by will or other instrument the estate and legacys of my late husband to the uses and purposes therein mentioned "
- N.B. May 16th preceded January 24th in 1700 because before 1752 new year's day was 25th March.
