has abstract	There were several notable enslaved people of Mount Vernon, established by George Washington in Fairfax County, Virginia prior to the American Revolutionary War. There is a diverse history of the African Americans from Mount Vernon. William Costin successfully challenged District of Columbia slave codes. Oney Judge and Hercules Posey were chefs at the President's House; with Posey the head chef. William Lee (valet) who was frequently by George Washington's side, was one of the most publicized enslaved people in Colonial America. Sarah Johnson lived as an enslaved and a free person on Mount Vernon, who lived there over 50 years and became a farm owner and a member of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. Christopher Steele was a house servant who after working many years, escaped the plantation, but return to Washington on his death bed. Harry Washington was born in Gambia and sold into slavery as a war captive and was purchased by George Washington. During the American Revolutionary War, Harry Washington escaped from slavery in Virginia and served as a corporal in the Black Pioneers attached to a British artillery unit. After the war he was among Black Loyalists resettled by the British in Nova Scotia, where they were granted land. There Washington married Jenny, another freed American slave. In 1792 he joined nearly 1200 freedmen for resettlement in Sierra Leone, where they set up a colony of free people of color. Deborah Squash was a slave on George Washington's Mount Vernon plantation before she escaped in 1781. She was one of the 3,000 blacks in the Book of Negroes that sailed on a British ship for Nova Scotia. (en)
