The ties that bind the Marquis de Lafayette and George Washington are well documented with numerous stories and anectodes, as their love, devotion, and respect for one another is readily evident. When Lafayette returned to Mount Vernon in 1784 to visit Washington and his family, Mary Washington Ball served him “Lafayette Gingerbread” at her home in Fredericksburg, in honor of the beloved French general.
