Notes:
President Thomas Jefferson, 3rd United States President, indicated that his family originated possibly from Wales. President Jefferson commissioned an agent to trace his lineage which was found to trace to the Jeaffresons of Dullingham House, Cambridge, England. Further research has led us back to Pettistree, Suffolk County, England where the Jeaffreson family of Dullingham had earlier originated. Possibly they may have originated still earlier in Wales, but for purposes of this article we must begin at Pettistree.
A Thomas Jefferson went to Jamaica in 1656, but the 1670 Census 14 years later shows none. It is not improbable that he left the Leeward Islands for Jamaica before finally settling in Virginia. - "Annual Report" of the Monticello Association. 1907.
Thomas Jefferson, the first to settle in Henrico Southside, lived at Osborne's across the James River from Farrar's Island and near Kingsland, home of the Branch family. His plantation was located in the Curles Section of the James River, south of the present city of Richmond, Virginia. This is in the vicinity of where the river begins it's snake-like path past Flower du Hundred (which was represented in the first Virginia Assembly of 1619 at Jamestown by his believed great uncle, John Jeaffreson).
