Eleanor Calvert Custis Stuart (1753 – September 28, 1811), born Eleanor Calvert, was a prominent member of the wealthy Calvert family of Maryland. She was the wife of John Parke Custis who was the son of Daniel Parke Custis and Martha Dandridge Custis (later Washington). She and John had seven children. She was widowed when John Parke Custis died of disease at the end of the American Revolution at Yorktown where he served with his stepfather, George Washington. Eleanor married Dr. David Stuart, an Alexandria physician and business associate of George Washington on November 20, 1783.
As of 2024, her (Eleanor's) portrait still hangs at Mount Airy Mansion in Rosaryville State Park, Maryland.[1]
