I know I'm going to sound like a complete dweeb, but I'm enjoying what I've been learning as a result of this game. We so often take our surroundings for granted and don't think much about what's there or been there in the past. First, I had no idea I lived on scavenger-island-central, man-o-man there's a lot of random stuff around here.. heheh. But seriously -- going for the steam powered non-locomotive, I got a real dose of the history of the area and steam-powered agricultural machines 101.
In researching the possibilities for #168, presidential tomb -- I found the "John Custis" tomb about an hour away. It's interesting the stuff you never learn or don't recall from history class.
Martha Dandridge Custis was married to John Custis's son, Daniel (who was 38 to her 18yrs). Martha and Daniel had four children and then he died (she was only 26). So Martha up and married George Washington two years later. So the first-family-kids were actually George's step-kids. However, the children they were raising during the presidential years were actually George's step-grandchildren - who permanently lived with them. So the tomb of John Custis, an hour's ride away, is the first president's wife's first father-in-law's tomb.
Apparently before he died Mr. and Mrs. John Custis didn't exactly live happily ever after since Mr. Custis decreed that his son inscribe the following on his tomb, lest he be cut off with only one shilling:
"Under this marble stone lies the body of the honourable John Custis, Esq. of the City of Williamsburg and parish of Bruton, formerly of Hungars parish on the Eastern Shore of VA and County of Northampton, the place of his nativity, aged 71 years and yet lived but seven years which was the space of time he kept a bachelor's house at Arlington on the Eastern Shore of VA."
Arlington was the name of his family's farm on the Eastern Shore, which George Washington's step-grandson, George Washington Parke Custis (called "Wash" or "Tub") adopted as the name, Arlington, for the home he built upon his inheritance across the Potomac in D.C. He intended the home as a living memorial to George Washington, his grandfather. However, his one surviving daughter inherited everything upon his death -- and she was married Robert E. Lee. As many know, at the outbreak of the American Civil War that house across the Potomac and plantation was seized and is now the location of Arlington National Cemetery and the Robert E. Lee Memorial.
Woo!! The excitement, backstabbing, and intrigue!! I'm ready for Bravo to premier "The Real Housewives of the Revolutionary War."
