Narrative

Martha Jefferson Randolph
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Martha Washington Jefferson Randolph (September 27, 1772 – October 10, 1836) , was the daughter of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, and his wife Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson. She was born in Monticello, near Charlottesville, Virginia and was named in honor of Martha Washington, wife of George Washington.

She was educated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Paris

She is now considered to have been First Lady of the United States from March 4, 1801 to March 3, 1809 because her father was a widower. She earned a reputation as an intellectual.

In 1790, Martha married Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. and was mother to twelve children:

Anne Cary Randolph (1791 - 1826).
Thomas Jefferson Randolph (1792 - 1875).
Ellen Wayles Randolph (1794 - 1795).
Ellen Wayles Randolph (1796 - 1876). Named after deceased older sister.
Cornelia Jefferson Randolph (1799 - 1871).
Virginia Jefferson Randolph (1801 - 1882).
Mary Jefferson Randolph (1803 - 1876).
James Madison Randolph (1806 - 1834).
Benjamin Franklin Randolph (1808 - 1871).
Meriwether Lewis Randolph (1810 - 1837).
Septimia Anne Randolph (1814 - 1887).
George Wythe Randolph (1816 - 1867).
She educated her children at home. She inherited Monticello from her father in 1826. She faced increasing financial difficulties and had to sell it to James T. Barclay in 1831. She was estranged from her husband until shortly before his death in 1828. She died at her Edgehill estate in Albemarle County, Virginia.

His Constant Companion"
Martha Jefferson Randolph was only ten years old when her mother died and recalled that her father took long horseback rides to ease his grief. On these rambles through the woods, "Patsy," as Jefferson called her, described herself as his "constant companion."

In many ways, Patsy would continue to fulfill this role as companion throughout her father's life; as a teenage girl she accompanied him to Paris while he served as minister plenipotentiary to France, and as an adult she served as his hostess at the President's House in Washington, DC. Following her father's retirement to Monticello, she and her husband lived with him there, and she took on the responsibility of supervising the domestic activities of the plantation. Jefferson later called her "the cherished companion of my early life, and nurse of my age."
