This lock of hair was obtained from the Custis-Powell family. The first owner of this hair was probably Eleanor Parke Custis, the granddaughter of Martha Washington by her first marriage. Eleanor was adopted by George Washington and raised at Mount Vernon. This hair is from the head of our nation’s first President and layer for the foundation of a debt free country, established a permanent seat of government, implemented an effective tax system, and created a national bank. This lot comes with an LOA from University Archives.
