one of the first colonial leaders to speak out against the sugar act was James Otis of Massachusetts. He called the tax ''unjust". Otis also opposed the practice of executing searches without warrants.

She was not educated very much as was the custom of her day. I think she could read and write which is about she needed.
She received informal education at home, mostly in skills needed to run a household, such as sewing, cooking and so on.

Martha Washington survived her husband and died at Mount Vernon. She was buried on May 22, 1802 at Mount Vernon. In 1831, her remains were moved from their original burial site a few hundred feet to a brick tomb that overlooks the Potomac River.

They had no children of their own but Martha had two very young children from her previous marriage, when she and George married; Jacky (John Parke Custis) and Patsy (Martha Parke Custis). George was instrumental in raising Jacky and Patsy, and deeply cared for them.

Martha Bratton had one boy

No.

An interesting detail about Washington's burial is that he specifically ordered that his body NOT be buried for at least 3 days after his death, for the exact reason that he, and many others at that time, was afraid of being buried alive.

St. Martha of Bethany was never formally canonized a saint. She was declared a saint by popular acclamation long before the system of canonization was instituted.

• George Washington wives name was Martha.

Men of his time usually wore wool suits with pants that stopped at the knee, stockings, leather shoes, a shirt with a vest over the top and buttoned to the neck, a tie, and a n open jacket over that. Usually, they also wore wigs. Washington's hair was red, but he was often pictured with his white hair wig.

The entire outfit had to be very hot to wear especially in the summer months in the humid heat of the eastern colonies.

She was buried at her Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.

George washinton was only about 7 months younger then his wife Martha.

No, not really. His father was VA gentry and became fairly well off, but Washington knew that he would never inherit from his father. The law was that the older brother would inherit any land/wealth and Washington was a second son. Washington always felt that status and during the French and Indian War as a young British officer he would not admit he didn't know/read French when he signed a document admitting guilt to the death of a French diplomat he was escorting. All educated men of his time knew French. His marriage to Martha most likely gave him the life and status he wanted. She was a wealthy widow with 2 children and along with the start of the Revolution his gained prominence that lead to the Presidency.
