History doesn't know for sure why there weren't any children. There is a theory he did have one child by a slave at Mt. Vernon, but this is not proven. The child could also have been his older brothers. Yet, in some way the boy was related and is buried at Mt. Vernon today.

It's not known for sure, but it may be he was sterile after having smallpox. There are rumours that he fathered a child with a slave, but they are only rumours.

Probably he was infertile, due to the smallpox that he contracted at the age of 19, while he was in Barbados.
