John Bushrod . . . [son of this John Bushrod] inherited "Bushfield" and married Mildred Corbin of King and Queen County, a first cousin of Colonel Thomas Lee of Stratford. They had a daughter Hannah Bushrod, who married John Augustine Washington, brother of General George Washington. Their son, Bushrod Washington, born June 5, 1762, at "Bushfield," was an Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court and it was to him that George Washington left Mt. Vernon and all his books and papers. He married Julia Anne Blackburn. As they had no children, upon his death in 1829 he left Mt. Vernon to a nephew, John Augustine Washington, son of his brother, Corbin Washington, who married Hannah Lee, a daughter of Hon. Richard Henry Lee. He in turn left it to his son, John Augustine Washington III, who was the last private owner of the estate. Thus all the private owners of Mt. Vernon after George Washington's death were descendants of Thomas and Mary Keene of Northumberland County. George Washington visited numerous times at "Bushfield." The first John Augustine Washington and his wife, Hannah, who was the second mistress of Mt. Vernon, are buried at "Bushfield."
