Randolph Jefferson, (have seen some reference to his first name being John) younger brother of Preident Thomas Jefferson was first married to his first cousin, Anna Lewis, daughter of Charles Lilburn Lewis and Mary Randolph. His second marriage was to
Mitchie B. Pryor, daughter of David Pryor of Buckingham County Virginia.

Herbert and Evelyn Barger, compilers of this Jefferson genealogy, have visited the outside of this home, "Snowden" located just across the James River from Scottsville, Virginia on State Route 747. A painting of this old, but now renovated home, is on display at the Scottsville Museum. The Bargers have a picture of this painting and slides and information of the home of Peter Field Jefferson, Randolph's grandson and son of Thomas. The former Scott home, "Mount Walla" was built by John Scott of the town's founder's family. Evelyn Barger is Randolph's first cousin, six generations
removed.

Randolph attended William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia beginning at age sixteen n 1771 and finishing in 1772. He also shared his brother Thomas's love of music and studied the violin under the same instructor as did Thomas. During the Revolutionary War he served in the Virginia Light Dragoons. He was commissioned a Captain of Buckingham Militia in 1794. Randolph patented or was granted 1327 acres in Buckingham County Virginia on May 30, 1800. The land was adjoining Robert Craig on Big
Georges Creek.

The book THOMAS JEFFERSON AND HIS UNKNOWN BROTHER RANDOLPH,
University of VA, Charlottesville 1942 states:
"Randolph, born at Shadwell on Oct 1, 1755, was 12 years younger than Thomas, With his twin sister, Anna Scott, he was the last of the ten children... He was two years old, and Thomas was fourteen when his father died in 1757. ... "He twice married. On July 30, 1780 he married Anne Jefferson Lewis the daughter of colonel Charles Lewis of Buck Island. she was his first cousin, and the sister of Charles Lilburne Lewis, who in 1769 had married Randolph's sister Lucy. The Lewis and Jefferson families became even more closely connected later on when Thomas, the son of Randolph, married Mary Randolph, the daughter of Lucy Jefferson Lewis

Randolph, by his first wife, who died sometime before 1808, had five sons: Thomas, Robert Lewis, Field, Isham Randolph, and James Lilburne; and a daughter, Anna Scott. His second wife was Mitchie B. Pryor, Daughter of David Pryor of Buckingham county.
He married her in 1808 or 1809, and by her had one son, John Jefferson. ... A grandson Peter Field (the son of Randolph's son Thomas) was a country merchant made what the little town of Scottsville considered a large fortune.

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.
