Mildred Gale (1671–1701), born Mildred Warner in the Colony of Virginia, was the paternal grandmother of Founding Father and first American president George Washington.
[3] Lawrence died in 1698, bequeathing to Mildred and the children shares in his estate, the profits from which were to be spent on their education.
Her will left most of the property she had inherited from her late husband to George Gale.
[5] Gale was buried in the grounds of St Nicholas's Church in Whitehaven alongside her baby daughter and slave, Jane.
The exact whereabouts of her grave is unknown, due to several graveyard re-arrangements and a subsequent fire in the church in 1971.
