Has any more info been found on West Ford being the offspring of George Washington?

Answer 1

There is no documentary evidence that George Washington ever met Venus, the mother of West Ford, who was a slave belonging to his brother John Augustine Washington of Bushfield Plantation, nor any that supports that George Washington ever met West Ford. No records indicate that George Washington visited his brother's plantation at all from the time he returned to Mount Vernon on December 24, 1783 at the end of the Revolution, until John Augustine Washington's death in early January of 1787. While there is documentation that male members of the Bushfield family visited Mount Vernon several times during this period, no evidence exists that Venus accompanied them. In accord with 18th-century custom, they would have brought male servants with them. The only known visit of John Augustine's wife, Hannah Bushrod Washington, to Mount Vernon during this period was in October of 1785. This trip would have been the only possible time that Venus could have been at Mount Vernon.
