Lucy Elizabeth Jefferson (1780–1781) was the fifth child of Thomas Jefferson and Martha Wayles Jefferson. Born on November 3, 1780, she died on April 15, 1781, while her father was Virginia’s governor. She lived five months, distinct from the sister given her name in 1782. That second Lucy died of whooping cough in 1784 while Jefferson was in France. Monticello’s chronology and family chart distinguish the two; no cause of the elder infant’s death is established here.
