Martha Washington and Anna Harrison
Martha Washington, as the White House hadn't yet been built when George was in office.
The first U.S. President to bow in the White House was John Adams who continued George Washington's tradition of greeting guests with a bow instead of a handshake. George Washington was the first President to greet people with a bow, but since he never lived in the White House, he was not the first President to do so in the White House.
The White House was not completed during his lifetime
