Lewis, a wealthy merchant in Fredericksburg, and his wife sacrificed much of their own wealth to help the war effort during the American Revolution.

Kentmore Plantation
Kenmore, perhaps also known as Kenmore Plantation, was the home of Fielding Lewis in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Fielding was married to Betty Washington Lewis, the sister of George Washington. The house was built in the 1770s on a 1,300-acre (530 ha) plantation. The property was purchased by the Gordon family in 1819. They named it Kenmore for the home of their ancestors in Scotland.
The house is notable for the remarkable decorative plaster work on the ceilings of many rooms on the first floor.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.
Kenmore is owned and operated as a museum by The George Washington Foundation (formerly George Washington's Fredericksburg Foundation), and is open daily for guided tours. The Foundation also owns nearby Ferry Farm.

History:
Built by George Washington's sister, Betty Washington Lewis, and her husband, Fielding Lewis, this beautiful, Georgian-style, brick mansion reflects the pre-Revolutionary-War wealth and status of the Fredericksburg merchant.
During the Revolutionary War, Lewis loaned the state of Virginia money to build and support a gun factory in Fredericksburg. At the time of his death in 1781, he was still owed £7000, but it was never repaid. He also lost a great deal of money during the war because he was not able to carry on his mercantile business with England. However, his house still stands—with its elegant exterior and interior rooms adorned with colorful paint, wallpaper, and decorative plaster ceilings.
