Anne Cary Randolph (1791–1826), eldest child of Martha Jefferson Randolph and Thomas Mann Randolph, was born at Monticello. At the parents’ request, TJ selected the name of his first grandchild. She became his “chief assistant” in looking after the flowers and garden and other out-door activities. On 19 Sep. 1808, she married Charles Lewis Bankhead of Caroline County, son of TJ’s close friend, Dr. John Bankhead, and Mary Warner Lewis Bankhead. He read law under TJ for several years, but then decided to become a farmer, purchasing Carlton, a farm of 800 acres adjacent to Monticello. He became an abusive alcoholic who could not take care of the property. In an effort to aid the couple financially, in 1815, TJ added 130 acres to the farm as a gift to his granddaughter. At about the same time, trustees were appointed to manage the estate. The couple had three sons and a daughter who reached adulthood. Anne died shortly after the birth of her son, William Stuart Bankhead. She was buried in the graveyard at Monticello (Monticello Association, Collected Papers, ed. George G. Shackelford, 2 vols.
