Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743-July 4, 1826) is known the world over as the principal author, in 1776 at age 33, of the Declaration of Independence; as author of the Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom instituting separation of church and state in Virginia, passed in 1786; and as third president of the United States, 1801-09. As president Jefferson commissioned the Lewis and Clark expedition, launched in 1803, to map the vast, unknown territory northwest of St. Louis; and he negotiated and persuaded Congress to fund the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, greatly increasing the size of the U.S. He also protected crucial trade interests of his young nation by making war with the Barbary States,1801-05.
Jefferson held many other public offices. He was a delegate to the House of Burgesses in colonial Virginia, 1769-76; Governor of Virginia during the War for Independence, 1779-81; for five years U.S. Minister to France, 1785-89, where he observed events leading to the French Revolution; the first Secretary of State under George Washington, 1790-93; and Vice President under John Adams
Notes on Virginia , was published in his lifetime. Publication of his letters alone, however, not to mention his state papers, now fill many volumes. He was throughout his long life an avid student of many fields. Late in his life Congress purchased his library, at that time the largest in the country, making it the core collection of the new Library of Congress. Congress published posthumously, in 1904, his collation of extracts from the Gospels, now known as the "Jefferson Bible."

Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson, America's third president and leading political thinker, was born at Shadwell in Albemarle County, Virginia. He graduated from the College of William and Mary, studied law and administered a landed estate inherited from his father. He was elected to the House of Burgesses , the Virginia legislature, in 1769 and established his reputation as a writer on political issues and not as an orator. In 1772, he married Martha Skelton, who had significant land holdings of her own. His wife bore six children in 10 years, but only two survived infancy. Jefferson never remarried after his wife's death in 1782. Jefferson drafted instructions for the Virginia delegates at the First Continental Congress and served himself at the Second Continental Congress . In the latter capacity, he is best known for his authorship of the Declaration of Independence During much of the early part of the War for Independence, Jefferson served the Virginia legislature and later as governor (1779-81). He was unfairly castigated for fleeing in the face of a British advance while governor and would be charged with cowardice in later political campaigns. Jefferson again served in the local legislature and in the Congress. In 1784, he was sent to France as America's diplomatic representative, not returning home until the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 and missing the

THE SLAVE CHILDREN OF THOMAS JEFFERSON
by Samuel H. Sloan, 320 pp., published by Kiseido, $18.00
Thomas Jefferson had 187 slaves. We know that because he kept meticulous hand-written records, which we still have. On January 14, 1774, after he inherited slaves from first his mother and then his father-in-law, Thomas Jefferson wrote his inventory of 187 slaves. In his last inventory, taken 50 years later in 1824, Thomas Jefferson also had 187 slaves. Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826 at the age of 83.
A page from Thomas Jefferson's Farm Book, which was hand written by Thomas Jefferson himself. Sally is listed as having three children. Harriet 1, Madison 5 and Eston 8. Harriet Hemings was born in 1801. Madison Hemings was born in 1805. Eston Hemings was born in 1808. Sally's eldest son was Beverley, was born in 1798 and because of his age had a separate listing in the Farm Book. An earlier child also named Harriet had died in infancy. Note that according to Thomas Jefferson's Farm Book, Sally never had a son by the name of Tom.
In October, 1802, while he was president, the story was published in the newspapers that Thomas Jefferson, whose wife had died in 1782, was keeping his wife's slave half-sister, Sally Hemings, as a concubine and was producing children from her. Jefferson, who lived for 44 years after the death of his wife and who never remarried, never denied the story, but he never admitted it either. Sally Hemings was at his bedside when he died. All five children of Sally Hemings were freed by Thomas Jefferson either before his death or in his will. Thomas Jefferson made provisions for Sally Hemings in his will. These were almost the only slaves which Thomas Jefferson ever freed.

Thomas Jefferson's Last Letter
"May it [ the Declaration of Independence ] be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government."
Thomas Jefferson, so uniquely American in both his awesome talents and serious shortcomings, makes a most interesting historical figure. Passionate visionary democrat and slaveholder at the same time, I would give nearly anything to spend one hour's conversation with Jefferson! He is one of those Enlightenment intellects - so rare today! - that can move from politics to art and architecture or science; he might write excellent political philosophy one moment, and then wax eloquent about love and loss or the nature of friendship the next. I believe one of the most important explanations for why the United States has enjoyed such relative prosperity and good fortune so far is that geniuses like Jefferson helped build the initial national edifice which has stood strongly against the inclement winds of change and test of time. The written correspondence of Thomas Jefferson across his lifetime comes to fill several volumes and contain many gems of human insight and political prophecy. The below letter to Roger C. Weightman was Jefferson's last, declining an invitation to travel to Washington, D.C., to attend a celebration commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of American independence. Jefferson was too ill to attend, but he found the right words, as usual, to express the significance of the occasion. Fifty years after writing the

Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
Short Biography Thomas Jefferson
In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." This powerful advocate of liberty was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, inheriting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from his mother, a Randolph, high social standing. He studied at the College of William and Mary, then read law. In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton, a widow, and took her to live in his partly constructed mountaintop home, Monticello. Freckled and sandy-haired, rather tall and awkward, Jefferson was eloquent as a correspondent, but he was no public speaker. In the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress, he contributed his pen rather than his voice to the patriot cause. As the "silent member" of the Congress, Jefferson, at 33, drafted the Declaration of Independence . In years following he labored to make its words a reality in Virginia. Most notably, he wrote a bill establishing religious freedom, enacted in 1786.

Editing of This Book
ayner's Life of Thomas Jefferson Rayner filled his biographical account with a large number of selections from the writings of Jefferson based on the then recently published 1829 edition of those writings by Jefferson's grandson, Thomas Jefferson Randolph. Mr. Randolph's edition is not held in very high regard by scholars because of the many editorial changes he made in the original documents a further reason, perhaps, why Rayner's Life has been mostly ignored. But Rayner's emphasis on Jefferson's writings for the historical information they contain makes his Life a good companion to which focuses on Jefferson's writings for the political principles they contain. It puts those quotations in their historical context and thereby fosters a deeper and better understanding of the principles involved.

Thomas Jefferson
Third President of the United States
[The people] are in truth the only legitimate
proprietors of the soil and government. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 at Shadwell in Albemarle county, Virginia. He had inherited a considerable landed estate from his father, and doubled it by a happy marriage on Jan. 1, 1772, to Martha Wayles Skelton . He was elected to the House of Burgesses when he was 25.
As a member of the Continental Congress in 1776, Jefferson was chosen together with John Adams Benjamin Franklin Robert Livingstone and Roger Sherman to draft the Declaration of Independence. He wrote the declaration himself and was amended by Adams and Franklin.
In 1784 Jefferson became, first, a commissioner to negotiate commercial treaties, and then, Benjamin Franklin's successor as minister to France. Toward the end of his mission he reported the unfolding revolution. Eventually he was repelled by the excesses of the French Revolution. He thoroughly disapproved France's imperialistic phase under Napoleon Bonaparte . Because of his absence in Europe, Jefferson had no direct part in the framing or ratification of the Constitution of the United States.
