Mildred Gale (1671–1701), born Mildred Warner in the Colony of Virginia, was the paternal grandmother of George Washington, the first president of the United States of America.
Through her sister's descendant Henrietta Mildred Hodgson, she is an ancestral aunt of Queen Elizabeth II.
Mildred was born in 1671, at Warner Hall, the family home in Gloucester County, Virginia, the daughter of Col. Augustine Warner, Jr. (Jun. 3, 1642- Jun. 19, 1681) and Mildred Reade. Her paternal grandfather was Augustine Warner. Her paternal great-grandparents were Thomas Warner and Elizabeth Sotherton.
The men of Mildred's family took an active part in the local government of colonial Virginia. Her paternal grandfather Augustine Warner was a justice, a Burgess and a member of the council of Gloucester County. Her maternal grandfather Colonel George Reade was also a member of the council. Her father Colonel Augustine Warner was also a Burgess and Speaker of the House of Burgesses.
She was one of three surviving Warner offspring, all females. The other two were Elizabeth Warner and Mary Warner. All three married and left children and descendants.
She married Lawrence Washington (also spelled Laurence Washington) in 1685, a union that produced three children John Washington, III (1692-1746), Augustine (1694-1743), and Mildred (1698-1747). Augustine would become the father of George Washington. Lawrence died in 1698, bequeathing to Mildred and the children shares in his estate, the profits from which were to be spent on their education.
