Fry-Jefferson Map
Why not celebrate this Independence Day learning more about President Thomas Jefferson’s younger brother, Captain Randolph Jefferson of Buckingham County?
The Jefferson Brothers is not just a biography of Randolph Jefferson, it’s a history of Buckingham County from its beginnings through the Revolutionary War into the dawn of a new century, as well as a fresh look at Thomas Jefferson in retirement at Monticello.
In the days when Buckingham was still part of a much vaster Albemarle County, their father, Peter Jefferson, established Snowden, a day’s travel from what would become Monticello. There, Randolph Jefferson ran a successful plantation and, quite unlike his brother, lived the life of a typical gentleman farmer.
