After Martha's death, her slave holder was George Washington Parke Custis, Martha's grandson. In the 1820s, Jared Sparks interviewed her for his biography of Washington, which she did in exchange for the freedom of her grandson, a toddler at the time, Robert H. Robinson. Lucy's son, he was freed at the age of 21, after eleven years of apprenticeship. (en)
