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).

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." Children: 1. Ann Cary "Anne Cary Randolph" RandolphBorn Jan 23, 1791 at Monticello, Albemarle, VA, USA, died 1826 at Carleton, on the western slope of Monticello, 34 or 35 years Martha and Thomas Mann Randolph's children grew up to lead varied and sometimes difficult lives. Their oldest daughter, Anne Cary (1791-1826; pictured at right), was doted upon by her grandfather, who wrote of her as a toddler that "even Socrates might ride on a stick with her without being ridiculous." As a teenager, she accompanied her mother to Washington during Jefferson's presidency. Anne and her grandfather shared a love of gardening and after she married Charles Bankhead in 1808 and moved to Carleton, on the western slope of Monticello, Jefferson wrote to her, "What is to become of our flowers?" Anne's marriage, unfortunately, proved to be a troubled one and was a source of much anxiety for the entire family. She died at the age of thirty-five, shortly after the birth of her fourth child. 1.

Randolph From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia George W. RandolphGeorge Wythe Randolph (March 10, 1818 – April 3, 1867) was a lawyer and the Secretary of War for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. He was also Thomas Jefferson's grandson. Randolph was born at Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia, to Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. {descendant of Pocahontas} and Martha Jefferson Randolph (daughter of U.S. President Thomas Jefferson). Named in honor of George Wythe, he was a relative of Edmund Randolph, who served in George Washington's cabinet as the first Attorney General of the United States, as well as colonist William Randolph through both his mother and father's sides of the family. Randolph briefly attended school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and served as a midshipman in the United States Navy. He attended the University of Virginia before moving to Richmond and becoming a lawyer. On April 10, 1852, he married Mary Elizabeth Adams (1830–1871). He joined the Confederate army, serving as a major in the Battle of Big Bethel, and was promoted to brigadier general on February 12, 1862. Randolph was appointed by Jefferson Davis as Secretary of War on March 18, 1862, and he took office on March 24, 1862, but resigned on November 17, 1862. Randolph fled to Europe after the Confederacy fell, where he died two years later in 1867 from pneumonia. He is buried in the Jefferson family graveyard at Monticello. He is pictured on the CSA $100.00 bill. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Civil War General Officers Record about George Wythe Randolph Name: George Wythe Randolph Highest Rank: Brig-Gen Birth Date: 1818 Death Date: 1867 Birth Place: Monticello, Charlottesville, Virginia Army: Confederacy Promotions: Promoted to Full Brig-Gen Biography: George Wythe Randolph, second secretary of war, was born at Monticello, Virginia, March 10, 1818, the son of Thomas M. Randolph and his wife Martha, daughter of Thomas Jefferson. At the death of his illustrious grandfather he was sent to school at Cambridge, Mass. Then at thirteen years of age he became a midshipman and served in the United States navy until nineteen years of age, when he entered the university of Virginia. Two years later he embraced the profession of law. At the time of the John Brown raid at Harper's Ferry he organized a company of artillery, which was subsequently maintained and operated against the Federals at the battle of Bethel, early in 1861. He was then commissioned brigadier-general and given a command, which he held until appointed secretary of war. He assumed the duties of that portfolio March 24, 1862, and resigned them on November 17 of the same year, then reporting for duty in the field. He was one of the commissioners sent by Virginia to consult President Lincoln, after his election. He died at Edge Hill, Va., April 10, 1878.
