Excerpt from The Heart of Washington: An Intimate Study of the Father of His Country From the Personal Human Side

They were soon sent back home, as the colonists called England, to school, to finish, as their father be fore them had done, in a boarding school at Appleby, near Whitehaven, England.
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.
