John Adams David

Who was the most significant person in George Washington’s life? Why?
I just finished reading the book 1776 by David McCullough and have to do some questions. I think some significant people might be Alex Hamilton, Nathaniel Greene, and John Adams. But I think there’s someone else that was really significant, any ideas?
His father died young, and from all accounts, his mother was a petulant shrew. Lawrence was the closest George had to a father figure, but for the “most significant person in George Washington’s life”, it has to be Martha.
She brought to their marriage a substantial fortune to solidify his financially shaky social position, she gave him the love and support he never seemed to get from his mother, she was a loyal helpmeet who traveled back and forth from Mt. Vernon to be with him in winter quarters during the Revolutionary War. She gave him the financial, social, and emotional stability which made everything else possible.
