When they married in colonial Virginia in 1759, he was an awkward but ambitious young officer, she, a graceful, wealthy young widow. They were devoted to one another, and George was as a father to Martha's children by her first husband. She endowed Washington with the confidence--and resources--that would aid him when elected commander-in-chief of the Continental army. During the war, Martha resolutely supported her husband, 'the General, ' joining him every winter in headquarters; she was essential to his well-being and was a redoubtable, vastly admired figure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After the American victory, George was elected our first president and Martha became an impeccable first First Lady.
