Jasper, Charity, active 1786-
Charity Jasper was an enslaved woman owned by George Washington. She worked at Dogue Run Farm, part of Mount Vernon Estate in Virginia. She was married to Dick Jasper and together the couple had five children that survived past birth. She is listed in both the 1786 and 1799 census of enslaved at Mount Vernon. As Charity was owned directly by Washington so were their children. Dick and Charity were both freed in 1802 under the terms of Washington's will.
