I. DESCENDANTS OF COL. JOHNFRANCES (JONES) DANDRIDGE:
II. MARTHA DANDRIDGE b. June 2, 1781 who married 2ndly, Jan. d. May 22, 1802 6, 1759, Col Geo. Washington, had first married, 1749, Col. Daniel Parke Custis, who died ante Aug. 1757, of New Kent Co. He was born Oct. 15, 1711, at Queen's Creek on York River- the home of his maternal grandfather, Col. Daniel Parke.
His father, Hon. John Custis, member of King's Council, etc b. 1678, d. 1749, Nov. 2, had married, in Aug. 1705, Frances, eldest dau. of Col. Daniel. Parke & Jane Ludwell- and has left on his tombstone at Arlington a lasting memorial of his marital infelicity, said to have been occasioned by the detestable temper of his wife: "Under this marble tomb lies the body of the Hon. John Custis Esq' of the city of Williamsburg, parish of Bruton, formerly of Hungar's Parish on the E. S. of Virginia & Co. of Northampton-aged 71 years and yet lived but 7 years, which was the space of time he kept a Bachelor's home at Arlington, E. S. of Va." But as his married life was but 1-7 of the span allotted him- his wife b. 1687, having died 1715, March 14-it seems unreasonable to charge all his unhappiness to her- some share may have been due to the fruits of that marriage.
The father of the unhappy benedict was another Hon. John Custis of H. M. Council, Major-Gen in Bacon's Rebellion & Collector of Customs E. S. of Va1687.
The children of Col. Daniel Parke & Martha Dandridge Custis were:
III. 1. DANIEL PARKE CUSTIS

III. 2. FRANCES PARKE CUSTIS
