During his life he never returned there, and, though there are oblique references to Charlottesville in “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains” and in The Journal of Julius Rodman, no other allusions to the University are to be found in his written work.

ellauri371.html on line 678: Tomi Jefferson syntyi 13. huhtikuuta 1743 Shadwell-nimisellä plantaasilla Virginiassa lähellä Charlottesvillen kaupunkia. Jeffersonin isä Pekka Jefferson (1707/08–1757) oli maanviljelijä ja maanmittari. Jeffersonin isä kuoli tämän ollessa nuori, ja Tomi peri isänsä maatilan. Vuonna 1768 hän alkoi raivata läheistä vuorenrinnettä perustaakseen sinne oman orjaplantaasinsa nimeltään Monticello (italiaa, suom. pieni vuori). Jefferson rakennutti tilalle yhä arkkitehtuurisesti arvostetun päärakennuksen ja yksityiskohtaisesti suunnitellun piha-alueen ja puutarhan. Hän laajensi ja kunnosti maatilaa sekä sen kuuluisaa päärakennusta koko elämänsä ajan. Samalla hän piti kirjaa kaikista tilan tapahtumista aina sääoloista orjiensa oloihin.

Multiple lines of evidence indicate that Jefferson had a long-term sexual relationship with Hemings, and historians now broadly agree that he was the father of her six children. Hemings was a half-sister of Jefferson's wife, Martha Jefferson (née Wayles). Four of Hemings' children survived into adulthood. Hemings died in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1835.
