Nevertheless the General appreciated Lund's services and the two always remained on friendly terms.
Lund was succeeded by Major George Augustine Washington, son of the General's brother Charles.

From his youth George Augustine had attached himself to his uncle's service and fought under him in the Revolution, a part of the time on the staff of Lafayette.

The General had a strong affection for him and in 1784 furnished him with money to take a trip to the West Indies for his health.

Contrary to expectations, he improved, married Fanny Bassett, and for several years resided at Mount Vernon.
But the disease, consumption, returned and, greatly to his uncle's distress, he died in 1792.

Washington helped to care for the widow until she became the wife of Tobias Lear.
Two other nephews, Robert Lewis and Howell Lewis, were in turn for short intervals in charge of affairs, but presently the estate was committed to the care of an Englishman named Anthony Whiting, who was already overseer of two of the farms.
