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.
