AWARDS
Jane Randolph Jefferson (1720–1776) was born in London and married Virginia surveyor Peter Jefferson in 1739. They had ten children, including Thomas Jefferson. Widowed in 1757, she held a life interest in Shadwell and managed the household’s resources carefully, keeping the family out of debt. She continued living there after its main house burned in 1770. Her financial records reveal more than her son’s few references to her; her exact death location remains uncertain.
