Lucy was known as the " Lowland Beauty" and admired by George Washington.

Henry married Lucy Grymes (1734-1792), nicknamed "The Lowland Beauty" [3] [4]. She was very fair. Her eyes were blue and her hair exceptionally blonde, soft and light as a baby's. According to local tradition, she was one of the Virginia beauties adored by Gen. George Washington (1732-1799) in his early youth. To her legend also ascribes his schoolboy verses, and many have surmised that when in after years Washington so favored her son "Harry", it was because of his tender memories of the boy's mother.
