Please note that this is not a biography of the American painter and photographer Eleanor Parke Custis (1897-1983) but a biography of the social leader Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis, who was George Washington's stepgranddaughter. GeoWPC 13:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

needs a clean-up and some reliable sourcing

[edit]

The article reads a bit too much like hagiography for my taste (and perhaps for WP). I'd like it if someone could pare out phrases like "The talented and beautiful young woman..." It would also be useful to add a section about the tensions between her claims about Washington's religiosity and contrary views expressed by others who knew him; this seems to be one of the things most closely associated with her today.
