There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul's, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra. - Horace Walpole 1 In the course of the study of Thomas Jefferson as architect, which began in earnest in 1916 with Fiske Kimball’s landmark study Thomas Jefferson, Architect , only recently have historians began to break out of the shell that Kimball placed around Jefferson’s architecture.

  • Life Stage Information Sheet: Born Into Slavery and Inherited by Jefferson
    Life Stage Information Sheet: Born into Slavery and Inherited by Jefferson Sally Hemings’s story began before her birth in 1773. Her mother, Elizabeth Hemings, was the daughter of an African slave and an English sea captain named Hemings. From Captain Hemings, Elizabeth and her future children received their surname. Captain Hemings made multiple efforts to purchase Elizabeth, but her owner, John Wayles, refused to sell the girl. As a result, Elizabeth grew up subject to Wayles’s authority in every matter. After the deaths of three wives, Wayles took Elizabeth to be his “concubine.” Concubine, a term used by Betty’s grandson, Madison Hemings, meant that he held her in a sexual relationship without the prospect of marriage or legal recognition. The pair produced six children named Robert, James, Thenia, Critta, Peter, and Sally. Therefore, Sally was born into a Virginia plantation culture where inter-racial and extra-marital relationships were common. In 1773, just after Sally’s birth, John Wayles died and Thomas Jefferson, Wayles’s son-in-law, relocated the Hemings family to his plantation, Monticello. Jefferson married Martha Wayles Skelton in 1772, and by this marriage, he gained the legal rights to Elizabeth, Sally, and the rest of the Hemings family. Therefore, despite being Martha Jefferson’s half-sister, Sally became a housemaid at Monticello. Sally was nine years old and present when her half-sister and mistress died in 1782. After you read through the profile, consider these points about this stage in Sally’s life: 1. What might Sally have thought about serving her half-sister? 2.
