88. With exceptions as noted, TJ marked out all legal entries for 1774 using the method discussed in note 1, MB 1767, legal notations.

89. Edgehill was Thomas Mann Randolph’s 2000-acre tract adjoining Shadwell, three miles east of Monticello. It was patented by William Randolph in 1735 and was later the residence of MJR and TMR (LPB, xvi, 1 description begins Land Patent Books. Vi description ends ).

90. This entailed property, the Indian Camp lands in Cumberland County, had been inherited by Anne Eppes (Mrs. Benjamin) Harris and Martha Jefferson’s mother, Martha Eppes Wayles, from their father, Francis Eppes of Bermuda Hundred. It was located on the tributaries of Deep Creek in the southwestern corner of present Powhatan County. The land was divided according to the writ of partition and in May 1774 the House of Burgesses passed a bill, petitioned for by TJ and Martha, to dock the entail, but it did not become law because of the dissolution of the House on 26 May. They nevertheless sold their 1,200 acres of the Indian Camp lands, together with a portion of the adjacent St. James’ lands, to Henry Skipwith for £2,000. There was no formal deed, however, until 1777, after the passing of the Virginia law abolishing entails, which TJ himself drafted (TJ to Jerman Baker, 22 June 1824; JHB, 1773-1776, p. 83, 116 description begins Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, 1619-1776, Richmond, 1905-1906, 6 vols. description ends ; Papers, i, 104-5 description begins Julian P.

98. This and the following entry are not marked out.

99. Entry not marked out.

1. The Elk Hill plantation lay in Goochland County on the James River and Byrd Creek and opposite Elk Island. In the division of the John Wayles estate it became the property of Anne Wayles Skipwith. Although a deed was not executed and recorded until 1778, TJ and Martha Jefferson acquired Elk Hill in Jan. 1774 from Anne and Henry Skipwith, giving in exchange some of their Cumberland County lands worth £710. In 1782 and 1783 TJ added the nearby Smith tracts of 312 and 50 acres to the 307-acre Elk Hill tract. In 1793, in an effort to pay his portion of the Wayles debt, he sold the entire 669 acres to Thomas Augustus Taylor for £1,500; the deed was not executed until 1799 (Fee Book: Personal estate account description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice.

Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

Elk Hill had been the residence of Martha Jefferson and her first husband Bathurst Skelton. After her marriage to TJ they used Elk Hill as a second residence and were sometimes drawn there for “hunting parties” by its plentiful game (TJ to John Joseph de Barth, 17 Mch. 1792). It was at Elk Hill that Cornwallis established his British army headquarters just before his surrender at Yorktown and wantonly destroyed a great deal of TJ’s property (see Malone, Jefferson, i, 356, 390, 445-6 description begins Dumas Malone, Jefferson and His Time, Boston, 1948-1981, 6 vols. description ends ). See also Elie Weeks, “Thomas Jefferson’s Elk-hill,” Goochland County Historical Society Magazine, iii (1971), p. 6-9, and, for TJ’s plan for enlarging the Elk Hill house, Nichols, No. 11 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s Architectural Drawings, ed. Frederick D. Nichols, 4th ed., Charlottesville, Va., 1978 description ends .

2. These are lines 1-2 and 7-12, slightly altered, of William Collins’ “Ode, Written in the Beginning of the Year 1746.” TJ’s substitution of the words “good,” “honors,” “wisdom,” and “virtue” for Collins’ words “Brave,” “Wishes,” “Honour,” and “Freedom” broadens the application of this well-known patriotic elegy, which had been inspired by military events.

3. This and the following entry probably date from 1776, when TJ was on the committee to devise a seal for the United States. TJ’s idea for a device is from Aesop. The motto below is adapted from “Eritis insuperabiles, si fueritis inseparabiles,” cited in Sir Edward Coke, The Fourth Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England (London, 1681), p. 35 (see “Report on a Seal for the United States, with Related Papers,” Papers, i, 494-7).

4. In the 1774 cash accounts TJ continued his practice of making a marginal check next to transactions for other people, probably when posting to their accounts in the Fee Book description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice.

8. Text faded and about three words illegible.

9. TJ is referring to the Elk Hill plantation (TJ Index, 1774 description begins Thomas Jefferson manuscript indexes for the Memorandum Books, 1767-1826, bound with them, except for 1773 (unlocated), 1776-1778 and 1779-1782 (ViU) description ends ).

10. TJ erased the figures for the weights of this cask and the molasses.

11. The first recorded earthquake in Virginia was felt throughout most of the state east of the Blue Ridge Mountains and in parts of North Carolina. It caused considerable alarm but almost no damage (John Blair to TJ, 2 Mch. 1774; Virginia Gazette [P & D], 24 Feb. 1774 description begins Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg, 1751-1780, and Richmond, 1780-1781).

13. A family intimate wrote of the death of TJ’s thirty-year-old sister Elizabeth: “I have always understood that she was very feeble minded if not an idiot—& that she and her maid were drowned together while attempting to cross the Rivanna in a skiff” (Wilson Miles Cary to Sarah N. Randolph, n.d., Collection of Mrs. Mary Kirk Moyer, Geneva, N.Y.). The maid was the slave, Little Sall (Fee Book: Jane Jefferson account description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice. Indexed.

Indexed. Miscellaneous accounts, 1764-1794. 187 bound quarto leaves. CSmH description ends ).

14. TJ’s lifelong friend Charles Clay (d. 1819) was rector of St. Anne’s parish, Albemarle County, from 1769 to 1785. Unlike many other members of the Episcopal clergy, he was an ardent patriot at the time of the Revolution. He later moved to Bedford County, where he followed agricultural and political pursuits and continued to see TJ when he came to Poplar Forest (“Testimonial for Charles Clay,” [15 Aug. 1779], Papers, iii, 67; Meade, Old Churches, ii, 48-50 description begins Bishop Meade, Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia, Philadelphia, 1857, 2 vols. description ends ; TJ to Clay, 29 Jan. 1815).

15. TJ patented a 400-acre tract in Amherst (now Nelson) County on Bold Branch, a tributary of the Tye River, on 27 June 1764, selling it soon after to William Barksdale for £100 (LPB, xxxv, 506 description begins Land Patent Books.

17.  Jane Randolph Jefferson; she died in Sep. 1775. Mrs. Sumpter, who was a midwife, probably attended at the birth (Prayer Book description begins The Book of Common Prayer, Oxford, 1752, bound with A New Version of the Psalms of David, London, 1751, with pages bearing manuscript Jefferson family vital statistics, ViU. These are reproduced in facsimile in Thomas Jefferson’s Prayer Book, ed.

18. TJ received a patent for this tract of land, 222 acres by survey, in 1788. It lay on Henderson’s Creek about two miles southeast of Monticello (see TJ plat, Nichols, No. 193; Land Roll 1788 description begins Thomas Jefferson manuscript listing of landholdings, c. 1788. DLC description ends ; Farm Book, p. 32, 127 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Farm Book,” 1774-1826. Reproduced in facsimile in Betts, Farm Book. MHi description ends ).

19. This entry and the one purchased on 11 Apr. probably became the tract of 196 acres for which TJ received a patent in 1788. This tract, which TJ later called Ingraham’s, was on the south side of Colle about two miles south of Monticello (see TJ plot plan, Nichols, No. 193; Land Roll 1788 description begins Thomas Jefferson manuscript listing of landholdings, c. 1788. DLC description ends ; Farm Book, p. 32, 127 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Farm Book,” 1774-1826. Reproduced in facsimile in Betts, Farm Book. MHi description ends ).

20. Martha Jefferson was again having nursing difficulties, which by June had developed into a breast abscess (Gilmer Daybook, 1, 9, 11 June 1774 description begins Daybook of Dr. George Gilmer, 1772-1776. ViU description ends ).

21. Edmund Pendleton.

22. Winslow’s was a plantation in western New Kent County owned by Thomas Adams. Here TJ obtained some native grapevines which were planted in the Monticello vineyard by some of Philip Mazzei’s workmen (Virginia Gazette [P], 28 Nov. 1777 description begins Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg, 1751-1780, and Richmond, 1780-1781).

Edwin M. Betts, Philadelphia, 1944 description ends ).

23. Governor Dunmore had dissolved the House of Burgesses after passage of a resolution calling for a day of prayer and fasting to protest the Boston Port Act. These preliminaries to revolution did not prevent the burgesses’ reception and ball for Lady Dunmore from being held on 27 May. There is no evidence that TJ attended (Papers, i, 105-7 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ; Diaries of George Washington, iii, 251-2 description begins The Diaries of George Washington, ed. Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig, Charlottesville, Va., 1976-1979, 6 vols. description ends ).

24. According to his Index, 1774, TJ refers to the Philosophical Society for the Advancement of Useful Knowledge, of which David Jameson was treasurer (MB 5 May 1773, cash accounts).

25.  A horse named Fingal, the father of Ossian, was known to TJ through the Ossianic poems of James McPherson.

26. Several of the Goochland County Paynes kept ordinaries. This may be George Payne’s ordinary on the Three Notched Road near present Hadensville (TJ MS Map description begins Thomas Jefferson sketch map of roads between Shadwell and Richmond, including taverns, residences, mileages, c. 1760-1784. ViU description ends ; Virginia Almanack [D & H], [Williamsburg, Va., 1778]).

27.  Hastings Marks (d. 1811) was a brother of John, James, and Peter Marks. He married TJ’s sister Anna Scott Jefferson in 1787 (Woods, Albemarle, p. 263 description begins Edgar Woods, Albemarle County in Virginia, 1901, repr. Bridgewater, Va., n.d. description ends ; Martha J. Carr to TJ, 3 Dec. 1787; TJ to RJ, 14 Jan. 1812).

28. TJ’s purchases from the library of Dabney Carr probably included William Blackstone, Law Tracts, and J. D. Matthieu, Dialogues Rustiques (Sowerby, Nos. 1539, 2009 description begins E. Millicent Sowerby, comp., Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Washington, D.C., 1952-1959, 6 vols. description ends ).

29. An attack of dysentery prevented TJ from attending the Virginia Convention, to which he had just been elected (Autobiography, L & B, i, 12; Gilmer Daybook description begins Daybook of Dr. George Gilmer, 1772-1776. ViU description ends ). Jupiter may have carried copies of TJ’s draft of instructions to the Virginia delegates to the Continental Congress, which was to become A Summary View of the Rights of British America (see Malone, Jefferson, i, 181-2 description begins Dumas Malone, Jefferson and His Time, Boston, 1948-1981, 6 vols. description ends ; Papers, i, 121-37, 670-6 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ).

30. TJ and John Walker were elected to the Virginia Convention on 26 July.

31.  Joseph Neilson (see MB 28 Jan. and 11 Feb. 1775, cash accounts).

32. TJ had subscribed for one £50 share in the Wine Company, formed in 1774 and headed by Philip Mazzei, for the commercial production and sale of wine from the vineyards at Colle. Revolution brought an end to the enterprise and the Company was dissolved in 1779, with Mazzei keeping its remaining assets (Papers, i, 156-9 description begins Julian P. Boyd and others, eds., The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Princeton, N.J., 1950- description ends ; TJ to Albert Gallatin, 25 Jan. 1793; MB 9 Oct. 1774, cash accounts; Fee Book: Wine Company account description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice.

CSmH description ends ; Margherita Marchione, “Philip Mazzei, Albemarle’s Naturalized Patriot,” MACH, xxxvii-xxxviii [1979-1980], 60-4).

33. Blacksmith Francis Bishop worked until 1776, at which time his apprentice Barnaby (1760-1781), a slave inherited from John Wayles, was probably able to work unsupervised. In 1781 Barnaby ran away, probably with the British, returned, and died soon afterwards. TJ then hired another skilled smith, William Orr, a British deserter. After Orr’s departure in 1783 TJ’s slave Little George directed the operation until his death in 1799. The need for fine iron work for remodelling the Monticello house necessitated the hiring of William Stewart in 1801. Although TJ seems to have had the profit-sharing arrangement only with Bishop, his blacksmith shop, which was moved from Shadwell to Mulberry Row at Monticello in the early 1790s, always did work for the neighborhood and provided a steady but negligible income (Betts, Farm Book, p. 421-6 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s Farm Book, ed. Edwin M. Betts, Princeton, N.J., 1953 description ends ).

34. Wagoning for the Wine Company (Fee Book: Wine Company account description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice. Indexed. Miscellaneous accounts, 1764-1794. 187 bound quarto leaves. CSmH description ends ).

35. Part of this beef was for the Wine Company laborers (Fee Book: Wine Company account description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice. Indexed. Miscellaneous accounts, 1764-1794. 187 bound quarto leaves. CSmH description ends ).

36. Thomas Newton was a Norfolk merchant.

37. TJ apparently never built a warehouse on the lot in Richmond he had bought from William Byrd iii early in 1774 (see MB 9 Nov. 1777). Shockoe landing was on the James River just west of Shockoe Creek, between present Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets. The two Shockoe tobacco inspection warehouses were further west along present Canal Street (Ward and Greer, Richmond during Revolution, p. 4-5, 130).

38. For some books which may have been part of this purchase from Thomas Mann Randolph’s library, see Sowerby, Nos. 31, 272, 446, 459, 2102, 3565-67 description begins E. Millicent Sowerby, comp., Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Washington, D.C., 1952-1959, 6 vols. description ends .

39. Crank’s has not been identified, but it was probably near or adjacent to the Elk Hill plantation (Farm Book, p. 7 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Farm Book,” 1774-1826. Reproduced in facsimile in Betts, Farm Book. MHi description ends ).

40.  Stanley was TJ’s overseer in Bedford County (TJ Index, 1774 description begins Thomas Jefferson manuscript indexes for the Memorandum Books, 1767-1826, bound with them, except for 1773 (unlocated), 1776-1778 and 1779-1782 (ViU) description ends ).

41.  Thomas Evans was a factor for the Bristol firm of Farell & Jones, the major creditor of the John Wayles estate. TJ and his fellow executors, Francis Eppes and Henry Skipwith, had agreed to consign to this firm all tobacco produced on land inherited from Wayles in order to begin to repay the estate’s enormous debt—almost £12,000—to these British merchants. Little progress was made on repayment and by 1790, when each executor was allowed separate responsibility for his one-third share of the debt, TJ owed £3,749–7–3½, with interest from 1783. In the 1770s TJ sold much of the lands he inherited from Wayles with the intention of paying off his British debts, but the paper money he received for them in the inflationary war years was, in TJ’s words, not worth “oak leaves” and, according to his daughter, was only enough to buy him “a great coat.” After executing bonds for repayment of his two largest debts in 1790, TJ sold slaves and additional land and made final payment on the Farell & Jones debt in 1807. Perhaps because of the unaccommodating attitudes of the firm’s agents, this debt was the only major one which TJ succeeded in paying in full during his lifetime (MB 21 May 1779, 6 Mch. 1790, 7 Mch. 1807; TJ to Farell & Jones, 9 July 1773; TJ to Alexander McCaul, 19 Apr. 1786; MJR to Ellen Coolidge, undated, ViHi; Papers, xv, 642-77 description begins Julian P.

42.  Eve was a PJ slave inherited by Anna Scott Jefferson and sold in 1779 to the Rev. Charles Clay (Fee Book: Anna Scott Jefferson account description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice. Indexed. Miscellaneous accounts, 1764-1794. 187 bound quarto leaves. CSmH description ends ).

43.  Samuel Carr (1745-1777) was a brother of Dabney Carr. His residence, later called Dunlora, was just north of Charlottesville (Woods, Albemarle, p. 160 description begins Edgar Woods, Albemarle County in Virginia, 1901, repr. Bridgewater, Va., n.d. description ends ).

44.  Branford, a farm laborer at Elk Hill, was inherited from the Wayles estate.

45.  Cuffy was also a farm laborer at Elk Hill inherited from the Wayles estate.

46.  Sanco was a slave carpenter inherited from the Wayles estate. In 1778 TJ sold him for £285–10 to Meriwether Skelton, from whom he ran away in 1780 (MB 1 May 1778; Virginia Gazette [D & N], 5 July 1780 description begins Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg, 1751-1780, and Richmond, 1780-1781).

47.  Abraham (c. 1740-c. 1819) was a former Wayles slave who worked as a carpenter at Monticello.

48.  John Wingo served TJ for a time as an overseer, possibly on the Poplar Forest plantation (MB 15 Apr. 1775, cash accounts).

49. TJ bought Great George (1730-1799) for £130 from Wade Netherland probably in 1773, when he bought George’s wife Ursula and their children from the John Fleming estate (Fee Book: Personal estate account description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Fee Book,” 1767-1774, containing entries pertaining to his law practice. Indexed. Miscellaneous accounts, 1764-1794. 187 bound quarto leaves. CSmH description ends ; MB 21 Jan. 1773, cash accounts). This trusted slave was made responsible for the care of the Monticello orchards and grounds while TJ was in France from 1784 to 1789. From 1797 until his death Great George was overseer at Monticello (TJ to Nicholas Lewis, 29 July 1787; Farm Book, p. 29 description begins Thomas Jefferson’s “Farm Book,” 1774-1826. Reproduced in facsimile in Betts, Farm Book. MHi description ends ; TMR to TJ, 26 Feb. and 29 Apr. 1798).

50.  William Mitchell had replaced Neill Campbell as manager of the Kippen & Co. store in Richmond in 1773 (Virginia Gazette [P & D], 2 Sep. 1773 description begins Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg, 1751-1780, and Richmond, 1780-1781).
