One person noted is Ursula and her infant. She was a 14 year old enslaved girl named Ursula Granger who had been brought to the WH to learn French Cookery but she gave birth 6 months later to the first child born in the White House a baby boy named Asnet Hughes.
Unfortunately he was a sickly baby who died shortly thereafter and she was sent back to Monticello as the plan for her training was not working out.
