Hi Jno. & all,
 George Washington did not have any children.

 In 1849 Martha Dandridge married to Daniel Parke Custis, they had 4 children
together before his death in 1857. Two of the children died when infants and
the other two were their daughter Patsy who died at age 17 and son Jackie who
died at age 26.

 Jackie had married and had children of course.

 When George Washington and Martha married in 1759 he became quickly attached
to the children and is said to have been a very good father to them.
