Casper, Ph.D., Yale University 1992 will give us a different perspective, from his book ~Sarah Johnson's Mount Vernon: The Forgotten History of an American Shrine.

These women, men, and children hadn’t been George and Martha Washington’s slaves. Most of them came to Mount Vernon with the Washington descendants who inherited the estate from 1802 to the 1850s.
