(1) There is some uncertainty as to who John BUSHROD's wives were. His wives may have included any or all of the following women: Anne BUSHROD, Jenny (or Jane) CORBIN, and Mildred SEATON. The only wife of John BUSHROD mentioned in his will was named Mildred.

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."

(3) "The Corbin Family," Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 29 (1921), pp. 521:

Issue [of Gawin CORBIN] (which marriage uncertain): . . .

Jenny, or Jane, married John Bushrod, of Westmoreland county. She is not mentioned in Gawin Corbin's will and the only evidence for her existance [sic] is the account of the family given by Bishop Meade in his Old Church and Families of Virginia. The John Bushrod, she is stated to have married, died in Westmoreland county and his will proved Dec. 30, 1760, names a wife Mildred. As he makes Richard Corbin an executor and as the name Corbin appeared as a Christian name among his descendants, it is probable that Jenny Corbin was his first wife.

(4) McIlhany, Hugh M., Some Virginia Families, Staunton, VA: Stoneburner and Prufer Printers, 1903, p. 215:

John Bushrod lived at "Bushfield", and was a vestryman of Cople Parish in 1755, High Sheriff of Westmoreland County in 1759, and a member of the House of Burgesses, 1748-1755. He probably married his cousin Anne, daughter of Thomas Bushrod; she dying, he married Jane Corbin . . . , and left two daughters, Hannah and Catherine. About 1760 Hannah married John Augustine Washington, a brother of George Washington, and had four children, - Bushrod, Corbin, Mildred and Augustine.

(5) "Bushfield" History <http://www.bushfieldmanor.com/History.htm>:

John Bushrod, the younger, married first Jenny Corbin and second Mildred Seaton. He fathered a daughter, Hannah, by his first marriage, who married John Augustine Washington. At the death of John Bushrod, Bushfield was left to his daughter Hannah Washington for her lifetime and then the property to go to her first born son.
