Excerpt from Historic Shrines of Virginia

Lee married the sole child, Mary Parke Custis, and Arlington he came his home. Here he always came on his leaves of absence from the army; here most, if not all, of his children were born. Here his wife lived the interesting life of an invalid for many years. Here Lee came in 1858, on the death of Custis, to wind up his estate. The great general passed the rest of his life trying to fulfill the terms of the will but never succeeded because the thing was impossible. But one thing he did carry out; In 1863 he freed all of the slaves of the estate, for, so Custis had willed.
