	Wilson Cary Nicholas Randolph
		Wilson Cary Nicholas Randolph was born on October 26, 1834, at Edgehill, Albemarle County, Virginia, the eleventh child of Thomas Jefferson Randolph (1792-1875) and Jane Hollins Nicholas (1798-1871) and a great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson.
		Randolph's sister, Carry, always close to him in spirit, and who presided at Edgehill, simplified her brother's finances to facilitate his anticipated second marriage; she gave him a house and lot on the southeast corner of Jefferson and North 2nd Street in Charlottesville, known as the Wyatt, or Poindexter, lot.
		Randolph was so annoyed that Dr. Randolph did not take her with him to the Rotunda fire that she hardly lamented the loss of that, the noblest of Thomas Jefferson's structures.

	Thomas Jefferson
		Jefferson's reference to the voluntary allegiance of colonists to the crown was struck; also deleted was a clause that censured the monarchy for imposing slavery upon America.
		Jefferson's bill stated "that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions on matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities." Many Virginians regarded the bill as an attack upon Christianity.
		Jefferson's triumph was delayed temporarily as a result of a tie in electoral ballots with his running mate, Aaron BURR, which shifted the election to the House of Representatives.

		Jefferson acquired this volume of seventeenth-century transcripts of the charters and fundamental documents in the history of the Virginia Company and colony in 1776 when he purchased the extensive library of Richard Bland (1710-1776), a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and avid collector of historical documents and books.
		Jefferson wrote George Wythe on January 12, 1796 that he had found it in "Lorton's tavern" in Virginia, where it was being used as "waste paper." One of these waste paper uses was practicing writing and drawing.
		Jefferson believed that the Court Book ended up in the hands of the Earl of Southampton, a member of the Company and an ally of Edwin Sandys, treasurer during the period covered by the Book, and that it was then purchased from Southampton's executor in London by one of the Byrd family.

		Jefferson also accused the king of rejecting the best laws passed by colonial legislatures, of preventing the outlawing of slavery in the colonies, of permitting his governors to dissolve colonial assemblies, and of sending in armed forces without having the right to do so.
		Jefferson's written reply to the assurances made by Dunmore stated that "the British Parliament has no right to intermeddle with the support of civil Government in the Colonies." Virginia, Jefferson declared, was now represented in the Continental Congress and would go along with the decisions of the other colonies.
		Jefferson was inaugurated on March 4, 1801, the first president to be inaugurated in Washington, D.C. Dressed in plain, dark clothes, he walked from his boarding house to the chambers of the Senate of the United States in the still-uncompleted Capitol building, where he was to give his inaugural address.

	Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Jefferson Randolph ("Soapy") Smith was one of the slickest characters to ever hit the west.

		Since Thomas Jefferson himself had no known legitimate male descendants (his wife Martha bore six children between 1772 and her death in 1782, but only two daughters lived to adulthood), a direct comparison between his and Sally Hemings' offspring could not be made.
		The 8 possibilities identified by the DNA tests are Thomas, Randolph (Jefferson's brother), Randolph's 5 sons, and a cousin George and in 5 of Randolph's sons, who were in their teens or 20s when Sally Hemings was having children.

		Thomas Jefferson Randolph, therefore, as a matter of course was given the important responsibility of guarding the papers of his illustrious grandfather.
		Randolph kept the Jefferson collection intact for the period because he was aware of contemporaneous sales of the George Washington papers (1834) and the James Madison papers (1837) to the government.
		Jefferson, and to his relation to the men and events of his time....the fact remains that the writings of one of the foremost statesmen in American history have been given to the world in a most incomplete form, omitting far more than they contain....

		Jefferson was long celebrated as one of the greatest men in history, but since the world was told he fathered children by one of his slaves his stock has dropped sharply.
		Randolph is documented by a 19th-century slave account to have spent his evenings at Monticello playing his fiddle among the slaves and "dancing half the night," and there is evidence he fathered children by his own slaves.
		Furthermore, the oral history passed down for generations by Eston's descendants claimed he wasn't Thomas Jefferson's child but the son of "an uncle." Jefferson's paternal uncles died decades before Eston was conceived, but the president's brother was widely known at Monticello as "Uncle Randolph" because of his relationship to the president's daughters.

	First Ladies' Biographical Information
		For the first three years of her marriage, while Jefferson was still a member of the House of Burgesses, Martha Jefferson would likely have accompanied him to the colonial capital of Williamsburg when the burgesses was in session, and taken part in the social life there, that she had known from her own early years.
		Martha Jefferson was separated from her husband during his tenure as a Virginia delegate to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia (1776), at which time he authored the Declaration of Independence.

	Letter to naturalSCIENCE
		I also provided historical information, including the fact that Thomas Jefferson had a younger brother, Randolph Jefferson, who lived about 20 miles from Jefferson's Monticello estate, and had five sons including Isham, who is said to have been "reared" by Thomas Jefferson (2).
		Randolph seems to have been a private, nonpolitical, fun-loving farmer--well known, apparently, to Jefferson’s slave, Isaac, who recalled that "Old Master’s brother, Mass Randall was a mighty simple man: used to come out among fl people, play the fiddle and dance half the night; hadn’t much more sense than Isaac" (5).
		Randolph was also present at Monticello on May 27, 1808, exactly six days after Eston’s birth on May 21, 1808, which would have been natural enough had he come to see his son, Eston.

		Randolph added, "To my knowledge and that of others 60 years ago the paternity of these parties were admitted by others." (Thomas Jefferson Randolph letter, c.
		Jefferson, I should not dare again to walk by his grave: he would rise and spurn me." Randall added, again citing Jeff Randolph, that Jefferson was "deeply attached to the Carrs—especially to Peter.
		Jefferson was a very private man and in many respects a complicated man (and some would say a man of many contradictions), but not even he would have been able so successfully to lead the double life that some proponents of the Hemings paternity thesis would have us believe he lead.

	Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings
		An article in the November 5, 1998, edition of Nature provides DNA evidence that Thomas Jefferson or some other male Jefferson such as Randolph, the brother of Thomas, could have been the father of one of the sons of Sally Hemings, who was a slave at Jefferson's Monticello.
		Although Thomas Jefferson did not have any sons who survived to produce children, his father's brother, Field Jefferson, did have sons and it has been possible to locate 5 descendants of Field Jefferson who are in a direct male-line of descent.
		Finally, the The Jefferson-Hemings Scholars Commission concluded that Randolph Jefferson, Thomas' brother, was more likely to have fathered Eston Hemings.
