Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.
The Washington estate at Mount Vernon, Virginia, is under the care and direction of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union.
The founder of the association, in 1854, was Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham, of South Carolina.
She was the first regent, and was succeeded in 1873 by Mrs. Macalester Laughton, and in 1891 by Mrs. Justine Van Rensselaer Townsend, of New York (a great-granddaughter of Gen. Philip Schuyler, and great-greatgranddaughter of Philip Livingston, the signer of the Declaration of Independence). There are vice-regents for the separate States.
