About one-third of Mount Vernon's slave population worked at the Mansion House Farm and lived in the wings of the Greenhouse, in cabins across the lane, and in nearby outbuildings. They included mostly families, as well as some single and widowed adults and married skilled workers whose families lived on outlying farms. One family at the Mansion House Farm included Isaac, a carpenter; his wife Kitty, a dairy maid; and their nine daughters. Four spaces of similar size in the Greenhouse Quarters housed such families.
