This is an urban myth. Martha Washington died of "severe fever" May 22, 1802 and was buried along side her husband George Washington in Mount Vernon. The myth started because George Washington had a great fear of being buried alive and often discussed this with his wife Martha. George Washington succumbed to a fever, sore throat and boils due to running a high fever and it was said that he caught a bad chill while campaigning. Because of the "blood letting" that was believed in during this time this caused more complications and George Washington died suddenly while feeling his own pulse while he wife Mary sat at the foot of his bed. Both were dead upon burial.
His characteristics were that he was very modest and thoughtful. He was also a high-minded gentleman of courage and stainless honor. He was simple and stately of manner. And he was kind and generous of heart.
There was wealth for him since she was a widow.
The Washingtons did not have a happy marriage, so Martha encouraged George to run again. She felt it would help him have purpose in life and get him out of the house.
