General Notes: Husband - Peter JEFFERSON
==========================================================================================

Peter and Jane Randolph Jefferson are the parents of Thomas Jefferson, third President of
the United States.

A surveyor and cartographer, Peter's Fry-Jefferson Map of 1751 accurately depicted the
Allegheny Mountains for the first time and showed the route of "The Great Road from the
Yadkin River thro Virginia to Philadelphia distant 455 Miles" emdash  what would later
come to be known as the Great Wagon Road. [Wikipedia]

Peter named his property after Jane's birthplace.

Jane was born in one of the Tower Hamlets, Shadwell, a poor maritime neighborhood of
London. It is most likely that she emigrated to Virginia as a child with her family and
that her education was received entirely at home. Little is known of her, for Jefferson
rarely mentioned his mother in his extensive writings. [Wikipedia]

Elizabeth and her maid were discovered drowned in the Rivanna River a few days after an
earthquake.
