Biographical History

John Parke Custis (November 27, 1754 – November 5, 1781) was the son of Martha Washington and stepson of George Washington. Custis was the sole heir of the Custis estate. He married Eleanor Calvert, daughter of a prominent Maryland family. The couple lived at Abingdon Plantation and had seven children, four of whom would survive. As the Revolutionary War came to a close, Custis decided to join his stepfather at Yorktown, the site of Washington's most celebrated victory. Soon after Cornwallis' surrender, however, Custis was one of the hundreds of men who died of camp fever as contagions spread through the crowded camps of both American and British troops.
