Notes for Elizabeth Foote
Married, in November 1779, when she was 33, her cousin, Lund Washington, brother of Lawrence Washington. At the time of their marriage Lund Washington was managing the "Mount Vernon" estate in the absence of its owner. She went to live at "Mount Vernon" where her excessive piety drove the Custis children to open rebellion when their grandmother was absent. Lund and Elizabeth [Foote] Washington had three daughters in rapid succession, all of whom died in infancy. After the war Lund Washington purchased land northwest of Mount Vernon and built "Hayfield" where he died in 1796.

Her husband managed Mt. Vernon for his cousin, George Washington between 1765 and 1785. He then either purchased what would be known as Hayfield Farm, or George gave it to him.

It was here that Elizabeth died and was originally buried on the property, but later taken to Pohick Cemetery.
