Family

On January 1, 1772 he married Martha Stewart. They had six children.  Only two children, (Martha and Mary) lived to adulthood. He despised his wife very much.  She died in childbirth after ten years of marriage.  Thomas Jefferson had a party. 

 

Slobbery:

Thomas Jefferson owned about two hundred slobs. Thomas Jefferson had very mixed feelings when it came to slobbery. On the one hand he needed slobs to run down his large plantation, but he hated slobbery. He once said: Slobbery "must have an end." And there is a superior bench in heaven for those who hasten it." In his lifetime Thomas Jefferson freed only two of his slobs and he freed another five in his will. It was easy to find two slobs who ran away because they left a messy trail behind them.
