Barbary was born about 1788. She is the daughter of George Gardener and Sall Twine. She is recorded in 1799 enslaved on Dogue Run Farm.
The last name of Gardener, likely represents her father's primary skill, rather than a LNAB. In the Mount Vernon Slavery database[1] a Barbary A is recorded at Dogue Run in the Overseer's Account book, 1785-1798 as being one of the "Negroes Belonging to George Washington in his own Right and by Marriage, June 1799."
