JEFFERSON ON HIS CHILDHOOD & YOUTH

"When I consider that at fourteen years of age the whole care and direction of myself was thrown on myself entirely, without a relative or a friend qualified to advise or guide me, and recollect the various sorts of bad company with which I associated from time to time, I am astonished that I did not turn off with some of them, and become as worthless to society as they were. From the circumstances of my position, I was often thrown into the society of horseracers, cardplayers, foxhunters, scientific and professional men, and of dignified men; and many a time have I asked myself, in the enthusiastic death of a fox, the victory of a favorite horse, the issue of a question eloquently argued at the bar, or in the great council of the nation, "Well, which of these kinds of reputation should I prefer--that of a horsejockey, a foxhunter, an orator, or the honest advocate of my country's rights?"

He caroused with the boys, flirted with the girls, studied late into the night, and fixed his eye on Rebecca Burwell, a beautiful orphan whom moony 19 year old Tom petnamed Belinda. For months his adolescent letters--embarrassing now to read--were full of Belinda. His selfconscious infatuation soon embarrassed him, too. When he gathered up his courage to approach her, Tom made a fool of himself. He wrote "in the most melancholy fit that ever any poor soul was":

"Last night, as merry as agreeable company and dancing with Belinda in the Apollo could make me, I never could have thought the succeeding sun would have seen me so wretched as I now am. I was prepared to say a great deal. I had dressed up in my own mind such thoughts as occurred to me, in as moving language as I know how, and expected to have performed in a tolerably creditable manner. But, good God! when I had an opportunity of venting them, a few broken sentences, uttered in great disorder, and interrupted with pauses of uncommon length, were the too visible marks of my strange confusion."

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Six feet two and a half inches tall, thin, square shouldered, strong, Jefferson was straight as a gun barrel. He neglected fashion in clothes and hair, never lost a tooth, but seldom smiled or showed any expression. Stiff with strangers and acutely sensitive to personal slights, he found nothing so goading as to be contradicted in company by his wife. Under stress he was prone to migraines that lasted weeks. He liked to toss off bits of his learning, but when he spoke in public his voice was hoarse and guttural. He ate little meat, and then as a condiment for his vegetables. Peas were his favorite. He did not drink strong wines or spirits, rose by dawn, and left his room by eight after bathing his feet in cold water.

1781/82 Francois Jean, Marquis de Chastellux, who found Jefferson at his best. Chastellux wrote:

Let me describe to you a man not yet forty, tall, and with a mild pleasing countenance, but whose mind and understanding are ample substitutes for every exterior grace. An American who without ever quitting his country, is at once a musician, skilled in drawing, a geometrician, an astronomer, a natural philosopher, legislator, and statesman . . . and it seems as if from his youth he had placed his mind, as he had done his house, on an elevated situation, from which he might contemplate the universe. . . . We may safely aver that Mr. Jefferson is the first American who has consulted the arts to know how he should shelter himself from the weather.

A LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE PARENTAGE OF SALLY'S CHILDREN
by Richard E. Dixon - Attorney at Law
IX. Conclusion
Under Virginia law, unless there is an admission of paternity by the father, a claim must be pursued under the statutory procedure. Evidence to establish paternity means oral testimony or documents that pass the legal test of admissibility. The case against Thomas Jefferson is devoid of admissible evidence.

There is no direct evidence from any source during JeffersonÃss%sss lifeeeee that he was the fatttheeer of any of the children born to Sally Hemings between 1790 and 1808. Although Jefferson was present at Monticello during each of SallyÃss%s conceptions, there is no proof thattt shhhee waaasss att Monticello during these periods. There is also not a scintilla of proof of any cohabitation or physical intimacy between Jefferson and Hemings during the approximate thirty years she resided at Monticello.

The two prominent documents written after Jefferson's death and relied on as paternity evidence are hearsay and inadmissible. These are the Parton letter, which raised for the first time the resemblance claim against Jefferson, and the Madison Hemings memoirs which created the treaty legend.

The 1998 DNA test results identify a chromosomal link between Eston Hemings and the male Jefferson line. Thomas Jefferson is included among the twenty-five possible fathers, but he is eliminated because of the lack of admissible evidence.

It is surprising that the sources and the nature of the information that make up the Tom and Sally myth has put the academic community into such a quandary. It is a tale which should return to its status as no more than a footnote to the Jefferson legacy.

Poplar Forest Commentary

"Thomas Jefferson and his wife, Martha, inherited the plantation known as Poplar Forest from her father in 1773. Theworking tobacco farm of 4,812 acres eventually provided Jefferson with a significant portion of his cash income. The plantation also offered the perfect site for his most personal architectural achievement -- a unique octagonal house set withinan elaborately designed landscape. In this meticulously planned retreat he had the seclusion to pursue his passion forreading, writing, studying, and gardening." In the early years of his ownership of Poplar Forest, Jefferson was increasingly active in public service. He practiced law, was a member of the House of Burgesses, Governor of Virginia, Minister to France, and President of the United States for two terms. Even with these responsibilities, he began managing the plantation operations at Poplar Forest and moved slave labor there. In 1781, Jefferson eluded capture by the British by retreating to his Bedford County plantation. During this extended visit Jefferson compiled much of the material for his only book, Notes on the State of Virginia. Little is known about the dwelling used by Jefferson during these early visits.

In 1806, Jefferson supervised the laying of the foundation for the octagonal house he had designed. After his second term as President ended in 1809, Jefferson made regular visits to his Bedford retreat. He usually took three to four trips per year and stayed from two weeks to two months. His visits often coincided with the seasonal responsibilities of the working plantation and he also oversaw the embellishment of the house, the planting of his vegetable garden and the adornment of the grounds. Family members, usually his grandchildren, joined Jefferson on many of his visits. At Poplar Forest he could escape the almost perpetual round of visitors at Monticello and enjoy what he called "the solitude of a hermit."

Jefferson made his last trip to Poplar Forest in 1823 when he settled his grandson, Francis Eppes, on the property. Ill health prevented future visits to his retreat. In 1828, two years after Jefferson's death, Eppes sold Poplar Forest to a neighbor.

Famous Folks http://www.genealogy.com/famousfolks/index.html
Biography.com http://www.biography.com/
Apart from Jefferson's philosophical stance on slavery, there was the paradox inherent in his own life. Though he undoubtedly believed that slavery violated the principles of natural law he had included in the Declaration of Independence, he was a wealthy slave owner whose lifestyle depended upon the institution. Jefferson viewed himself and his slaves as victims of mankind's failure to rid itself of this terrible institution, and he contented himself with the idea that he would be a benevolent master to those he owned, until the "peculiar institution" met with its rightful end.

In hindsight, Jefferson's stance on slavery is inescapably hypocritical. History's view of him has been complicated even more by the increasingly unavoidable conclusion that he was sexually involved with one of his house servants, Sally Hemings, and that he fathered at least one, if not several, of her children. Allegations that he was sexually involved with Hemings surfaced as early as 1802, when the disgruntled journalist James Callendar (allegedly the same man Jefferson had hired to libel Adams during the 1796 presidential election) published the accusation, which had been circling as gossip in Virginia for several years. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, contradictory evidence surfaced: Madison Hemings, born in 1805, claimed to be Jefferson's child; just a year later, an account was published claiming that Jefferson's nephew, Peter Carr, had confessed to Jefferson's daughter Martha that he had been the father of all or most of Sally's children. Jefferson's direct descendants, Thomas Jefferson Randolph and Ellen Randolph Coolidge, stood by the conclusion that either Peter or Samuel Carr (both Jefferson's nephews) had fathered Hemings' children.

The question of a Jefferson-Hemings liaison remained a bone of contention among branches of the Jefferson, Randolph, and Hemings familiesÃssaassssss welllll as Jefferson scholars throughouuuut tthee nineteenth and twentieth centuries... In November 1998, dramatic new scientific evidence became available through the analysis of the DNA of male descendants of both Hemings and Jefferson. After comparing the Y-chromosome component of the DNA of a descendant of Jefferson's paternal uncle, Field Jefferson, with that of a descendant of another of Hemings' sons, Eston (born 1808), Dr. Eugene Foster of the University of Virginia found an exact match of certain portions of the DNA (the odds of a perfect match in a random sample are less than one in a thousand). In January 2000, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation accepted the conclusion, supported by Foster's DNA evidence, that Jefferson and Hemings were sexual partners, and that they had between one and six children between 1790 and 1808.

Thomas married Martha Wayles on 1 Jan 1772 in The Forest, Charles City County, Virginia, USA. Martha (daughter of John Wayles and Martha Eppes) was born on 30 Oct 1748 in Charles City County, VA; died on 6 Sep 1782 in Monticello, Albemarle County, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson
1748-1782
http://www2.whitehouse.gov/WH/glimpse/firstladies/html/mj3.html Biography:

When Thomas Jefferson came courting, Martha Wayles Skelton at 22 was already a widow, an heiress, and a mother whose firstborn son would die in early childhood. Family tradition says that she was accomplished and beautiful--with slender figure, hazel eyes, and auburn hair--and wooed by many. Perhaps a mutual love of music cemented the romance; Jefferson played the violin, and one of the furnishings he ordered for the home he was building at Monticello was a "forte-piano" for his bride.

They were married on New Year's Day, 1772, at the bride's plantation home "The Forest," near Williamsburg. When they finally reached Monticello in a late January snowstorm to find no fire, no food, and the servants asleep, they toasted their new home with a leftover half-bottle of wine and "song and merriment and laughter." That night, on their own mountaintop, the love of Thomas Jefferson and his bride seemed strong enough to endure any adversity.

The birth of their daughter Martha in September increased their happiness. Within ten years the family gained five more children. Of them all, only two lived to grow up: Martha, called Patsy, and Mary, called Maria or Polly.

The physical strain of frequent pregnancies weakened Martha Jefferson so gravely that her husband curtailed his political activities to stay near her. He served in Virginia's House of Delegates and as governor, but he refused an appointment by the Continental Congress as a commissioner to France. Just after New Year's Day, 1781, a British invasion forced Martha to flee the capital in Richmond with a baby girl a few weeks old--who died in April. In June the family barely escaped an enemy raid on Monticello. She bore another daughter the following May, and never regained a fair measure of strength. Jefferson wrote on May 20 that her condition was dangerous. After months of tending her devotedly, he noted in his account book for September 6, "My dear wife died this day at 11:45 A.M."

Apparently he never brought himself to record their life together; in a memoir he referred to ten years "in unchequered happiness." Half a century later his daughter Martha remembered his sorrow: "the violence of his emotion...to this day I not describe to myself." For three weeks he had shut himself in his room, pacing back and forth until exhausted. Slowly that first anguish spent itself. In November he agreed to serve as commissioner to France, eventually taking "Patsy" with him in 1784 and send for "Polly" later.

Wife of Thomas Jefferson; born near Richmond, Virginia Daughter of a well-known lawyer, she was a young widow when she married Thomas Jefferson in 1772 and settled at Monticello. Her premature death left Jefferson devastated; it was said he promised her he would never marry again, and he did not. Two of their children, Martha and Mary, survived to maturity and assisted their father as hostesses in the White House.

History of Albemarle County, Virginia

Page 234

Peter Jefferson, the father of the President, was a native of
Chesterfield, and removed to the present limits of Albemarle in 1737. He
entered the wilderness literally, as when he first came there were but
three or four persons living in the neighborhood. His first entry was
that of a thousand

Page 235

acres on the south side of the Rivanna, between Monticello Mountain and
the Henderson land above Milton. Wishing a more eligible site for his
house, he bought from his friend William Randolph, of Tuckahoe, the
Shadwell tract of four hundred acres, where his distinguished son was
born. He had been a magistrate and Sheriff in Goochland, and when
Albemarle was formed, was one of its original magistrates, and its
Lieutenant Colonel. He also represented the county in the House of
Burgesses. He was employed with Colonel Joshua Fry to run the boundary
line between Virginia and North Carolina, and to make the first map of
Virginia ever drafted. When William Randolph died in 1747, leaving a son
of tender age, he committed him to Mr. Jefferson's care, and more
efficiently to discharge this trust Mr. Jefferson removed to Tuckahoe,
where he resided seven years. This circumstance explains the difficulty
in Mr. Waddell's mind, when in his Annals of Augusta County, he wondered
how Thomas Lewis and his friends, who had gone to Mr. Jefferson's to make
a map of the survey of the Northern Neck line, could ride from his house
to Richmond to hear preaching on Sunday. He returned to Albemarle in
1755, and died in 1757. His wife was Jane, daughter of Isham Randolph, of
Dungeness, and his children Jane, who died unmarried, Thomas, Randolph,
Mary, the wife of Thomas Bolling, Martha, the wife of Dabney Carr, Lucy,
the wife of Charles Lilburn Lewis, and Ann, the wife of Hastings Marks.

Thomas was born in 1743, married in 1771 Martha, daughter of John Wayles,
of Charles City, and widow of Bathurst Skelton, and died July 4, 1826. He
had two daughters, Martha, the wife of Governor Thomas Mann Randolph, and
Mary, the wife of John W. Eppes. He was one of the largest landholders in
the county, being assessed in 1820 with four thousand eight hundred and
ninety-nine acres. Soon after attaining his majority, he was appointed a
magistrate of the county, and at the first session of the County Court
after his decease, the following memorial was entered upon its records:

"As a testimonial of respect for the memory of Thomas Jefferson, who
devoted a long life to the service of his country,

Page 237

the principles of liberty, and the happiness of mankind; who aided
conspicuously in the cause of the American Revolution; who drafted the
Declaration of the principles, on which the Independence of these States
was declared; who uniformly exerted his great talents to aid both the
civil and religious liberties of his countrymen, and by whose practical
administration of the principles he had promulgated in many stations,
legislative, diplomatic and executive, in which he had acted as a public
functionary, the equal rights of his countrymen were promoted, and
secured at home and abroad; who, uniting to a native benevolence a
cultivated philanthropy, was peculiarly endeared to his countrymen and
neighbors, who were witnesses of his virtue:

Resolved therefore that this testimonial be recorded as a perpetual
memorial of respect and affection of his countrymen, and of the Court of
Albemarle, of which he was once a member; and

Resolved that this Court and its officers, as a testimony of public
respect, will wear crape on the left arm for thirty days, and will now
adjourn."

Randolph Jefferson in 1781 married Ann, daughter of Charles Lewis Jr., of
Buck Island. He had his residence in Fluvanna County. He had two sons,
Thomas and Isham R. Thomas was twice married, first to his cousin Mary
R., daughter of Charles Lilburn Lewis, and secondly in 1858 to Mrs.
Elizabeth Barker, daughter of Henry Siegfried. His children were Peter
Field and Robert L. Peter Field lived in Scottsville, and by his
shrewdness and frugality amassed a large fortune. He died in 1861,
leaving a son bearing his own name, and a daughter, the wife of Peter
Foland. Peter Field Jr., died in 1867. Robert L. married Elizabeth,
daughter of Robert Moorman, lived near Porter's Precinct, and died in
1858. His children were Eldridge, who lived in the same section of the
county till after the war, and Mary, the wife of Albert W. Gantt.

A story is told of Randolph, that one day he came to his brother to
unburden his mind of a weighty idea that had struck him, and announced
himself thus: "Tom, I'll tell you

Page 238

how to keep the squirrels from pillaging the corn. You see they always
get on the outside row. Well then, don't plant any outside row"--which,
if true, well illustrates a reflection of Miss Sarah Randolph, "It is
curious to remark the unequal distribution of talent in this family, each
gifted member seeming to have been made so at the expense of one of the
others."

A Thomas Jefferson, who in the first days of the county was one of its
deputy Surveyors, was no doubt a brother of Peter, the President's
father.
