She wrote of her life and her\n         husband and her children, as well as local and national\n         events. The diary is a good source on life in 1800s\n         Fredericksburg and it compliments area histories.","Mrs. Gray wrote mostly about her daily life and spent most\n         of it in Fredericksburg after marrying \n          William Fairfax Gray in 1817. A great deal\n         of her time was spent receiving vistors or visiting friends\n         and family. She also spent time with the \n          Circle of Industry , which seemed to be a\n         sewing circle; and, put together a craft fair. Mrs. Gray also\n         wrote of shopping trips, changing homes, servants, and\n         attending \n          St. George's Episcopal Church . She used\n         the diary to record some recipes and inventories.","Mrs. Gray had at least eight children. In the diary, she\n         mentions \n          Peter Gray , \n          Jane Gray , \n          Evelina Gray , \n          George Fairfax Gray , \n          Ann* Gray , \n          Franklin Gray , and two other children.\n         One son died prior to 1822; daughter Jane in 1823; and, son\n         George in 1825. She mentions her children during important\n         events in their life, such as christenings, travels, their\n         private school education, and illnesses.","Mrs. Gray mentions her husband fleetingly in each entry,\n         referring to him as \"Mr. Gray,\" giving the diary a formal\n         tone; he was twelve years older than his wife. He published\n         several books and was the editor and proprietor of the \n          Virginia Herald . His literary profession\n         provided many opportunities for travel, taking him frequently\n         to \n          Washington and \n          Alexandria . Mr. Gray was a Mason and\n         while in \n          Fredericksburg became Master of the Lodge.\n         He was also a colonel in the army through membership in the \n          Washington Guard , attended his lodge\n         meetings as well as meetings of the literary and music\n         societies, and was active in the fire commission and in local\n         politics. He left Fredericksburg in 1835 and travelled to \n          Texas where he ultimately settled; his\n         [published] diary gives detailed information of these\n         travels.","Mrs. Gray often writes of her extended family. Her father\n         and mother were frequent visitors, and she wrote of her\n         father's death in 1827. She also writes about her four\n         sisters: \n          Mary Stone , \n          Evelina Stone , \n          Louisa Stone , and \n          Margaret Stone . Mary married \n          Thomas Botts ; Evelina married \n          Charles Smith ; Louisa married \n          John Triplett ; and, Margaret married Dr.\n         Brown. It is unclear whether this Dr. Brown is the Dr. Browne\n         who is frequently mentioned in the diary. She seemed to be the\n         closest to Evelina and Mary.","Mrs. Gray also mentions events in Fredericksburg and the\n         nation, including topics such as the weather, disease, deaths,\n         medicine, fires, General \n          LaFayette 's visit, and transportation.\n         Each entry begins with an account of the weather. She\n         frequently wrote about illness and medicine, referring to\n         lockjaw, consumption, smallpox, the croup, toothaches,\n         headaches, and colds, and to leeching as the cureall for these\n         ailments. The diary recounts the events surrounding the great\n         fire of 1822, during which the \n          Gray Family lost their home, as well as\n         other smaller fires in Fredericksburg during this period.\n         Another fascinating event that occurred in Fredericksburg was\n         the visit of General \n          LaFayette in 1824. Mr. Gray addressed\n         LaFayette as Master of the \n          Masonic Lodge and invited him to become a\n         member. The diary offers a very good first hand account of the\n         visit and the general excitement it caused. The diary also\n         mentions the modes of transporation in use at the time: giggs,\n         steamboats, stagecoaches, and other forms of horse travel.\n         Mrs. Gray also mentions national events, such as the election\n         of \n          John Quincy Adams and \n          Andrew Jackson , the deaths of \n          Thomas Jefferson and \n          John Adams , a fire in \n          Alexandria, Virginia an Indian raid, and\n         the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of\n         Independence.","Mrs. Gray used the diary to record events of interest and\n         to document historical events. She wrote a great deal about\n         her daily life along with her children and husband. It is an\n         interesting look into the life of a young woman's life from\n         her point of view. Relevant and complementary information may\n         be found in \n          Marriage Records of the City of\n         Fredericksburg and of Orange, Spotsylvania, and Stafford\n         Counties, 1722-1850 and \n          The History of the City of\n         Fredericksburg, Virginia.","List of names found in the diary (in the order in which\n         they appear): \n          Nancy Lucas Long Lunsford Long Mr. \n          Thomas Botts Mr. \n          Gordon Mrs. \n          Edwards Mr. \n          Thorn Mr. \n          William Morton Mr. \n          Grinnan Mr. \n          Willis Susan Green Peter (son) Ann Scott Mrs. \n          Fitzgerald Sister Mary Mr. \n          Harrison Mr. \n          Williams Sukey Perry Mr. \n          Lockwood Mrs. \n          Gordon Mrs. \n          Fitzhugh Evalina (daughter) Evalina (sister) Thomas Goodwin Aunt Graham Mrs. \n          Car Judge \n          Green Anna Smith Dr. \n          Wellford Mr. (Rev.) \n          McGuire Sally Lucas Rebecca Lomax Mr. \n          Scott Mr. \n          R.

Her father\n         and mother were frequent visitors, and she wrote of her\n         father's death in 1827. She also writes about her four\n         sisters: \n          Mary Stone , \n          Evelina Stone , \n          Louisa Stone , and \n          Margaret Stone . Mary married \n          Thomas Botts ; Evelina married \n          Charles Smith ; Louisa married \n          John Triplett ; and, Margaret married Dr.\n         Brown. It is unclear whether this Dr. Brown is the Dr. Browne\n         who is frequently mentioned in the diary. She seemed to be the\n         closest to Evelina and Mary.","Mrs. Gray also mentions events in Fredericksburg and the\n         nation, including topics such as the weather, disease, deaths,\n         medicine, fires, General \n          LaFayette 's visit, and transportation.\n         Each entry begins with an account of the weather. She\n         frequently wrote about illness and medicine, referring to\n         lockjaw, consumption, smallpox, the croup, toothaches,\n         headaches, and colds, and to leeching as the cureall for these\n         ailments. The diary recounts the events surrounding the great\n         fire of 1822, during which the \n          Gray Family lost their home, as well as\n         other smaller fires in Fredericksburg during this period.\n         Another fascinating event that occurred in Fredericksburg was\n         the visit of General \n          LaFayette in 1824. Mr. Gray addressed\n         LaFayette as Master of the \n          Masonic Lodge and invited him to become a\n         member. The diary offers a very good first hand account of the\n         visit and the general excitement it caused. The diary also\n         mentions the modes of transporation in use at the time: giggs,\n         steamboats, stagecoaches, and other forms of horse travel.\n         Mrs. Gray also mentions national events, such as the election\n         of \n          John Quincy Adams and \n          Andrew Jackson , the deaths of \n          Thomas Jefferson and \n          John Adams , a fire in \n          Alexandria, Virginia an Indian raid, and\n         the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of\n         Independence.","Mrs. Gray used the diary to record events of interest and\n         to document historical events. She wrote a great deal about\n         her daily life along with her children and husband. It is an\n         interesting look into the life of a young woman's life from\n         her point of view. Relevant and complementary information may\n         be found in \n          Marriage Records of the City of\n         Fredericksburg and of Orange, Spotsylvania, and Stafford\n         Counties, 1722-1850 and \n          The History of the City of\n         Fredericksburg, Virginia.","List of names found in the diary (in the order in which\n         they appear): \n          Nancy Lucas Long Lunsford Long Mr. \n          Thomas Botts Mr. \n          Gordon Mrs. \n          Edwards Mr. \n          Thorn Mr. \n          William Morton Mr. \n          Grinnan Mr. \n          Willis Susan Green Peter (son) Ann Scott Mrs. \n          Fitzgerald Sister Mary Mr. \n          Harrison Mr. \n          Williams Sukey Perry Mr. \n          Lockwood Mrs. \n          Gordon Mrs. \n          Fitzhugh Evalina (daughter) Evalina (sister) Thomas Goodwin Aunt Graham Mrs. \n          Car Judge \n          Green Anna Smith Dr. \n          Wellford Mr. (Rev.) \n          McGuire Sally Lucas Rebecca Lomax Mr. \n          Scott Mr. \n          R.

After graduating from  Alexandria High School  in  1924 , he studied at the University of Virginia's Engineering School before transferring to the architecture program in the McIntire School of Fine Arts in  1926 . While never receiving his degree, Grigg was recorded as an alumnus of UVA's Architecture class of  1929 . ","Following his studies, Grigg apprenticed for  Perry, Shaw and Hepburn , of  Boston, Massachusetts  as a draftsman and designer for the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg until  1933 . During his years in Williamsburg, he learned a great about the practices of restoration and Early American architecture. ","In 1933 Grigg returned to  Charlottesville  and started a private practice. He achieved success early on. After he received a bronze medal in the nationwide Better Homes in America competition, he earned a spot on the 1930s Monticello restoration project under Fiske Kimball, and also took on wealthy Northern clients who suffered financially during the Depression and wished to regain lavish lifestyles in the South. These included  Marion DuPont , who renovated James Madison's Montpelier,  Langhorne Gibson  (daughter of Irene Langhorne, \"The Gibson Girl,\"), and  Grover C. Dula  of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. In  1937 , Grigg added  University of Virginia  alumnus  Floyd E. Johnson  to his firm and renovated the Albemarle County Courthouse. ","In  1936  Grigg identified the home called Edgemont as a work of  Thomas Jefferson , which established his legitimacy as a professional with  Fiske Kimball . He then altered and restored the building in  1938  and again in  1946 .","Grigg moved to  Washington, D.C.  in  1941  after dissolving his firm's partnership to work as the Chief of the Design Section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There, he worked on national projects like the Potomac River Basin, the National Airport, and the construction of Walter Reed Hospital. During 1942-1945 Grigg served as the civilian head of the Design Section for the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington, chiefly designing military hospitals and other structures. He also served on commissions and boards in the city of Charlottesville; these included the Planning Commission, the Building Code Commission, and the Building Code Appeal Board. He was also a member of the Rotary Club. ","After World War II, Grigg moved back to Charlottesville, where he practiced with his new associate  William Newton Hale , and also started an additional office in Alexandria. By  1977  their firm came to be known by the name  Grigg, Wood, and Browne . The firm specialized in churches, estates, and restoration. Grigg and Hale designed new homes in the Meadowbrook Hills neighborhood, and many public, religious, civic, and commercial buildings. Grigg also restored many churches, as he maintained traditional styles as well as dabbled in modern architecture.  ","From November  1953  to February  1954  Grigg served as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation's architect, and as a member of the Monticello restoration committee, supervising its restoration. He was also responsible for the design of the U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia, and the notable St. John's Lutheran Church in Emporia, Virginia. ","Grigg was a fellow of the  American Institute of Architects  (three-time president of the Virginia chapter) and served as its director for the Middle Atlantic Region. He served twice as president of the  Church Architectural Guild of America , 1963-1964, as president of the  Interfaith Research Center  in  New York , and as comptroller of the  International Congress on Religious Architecture . ","Grigg died on  March 23, 1982 , aged seventy-six. "," \nReference list:","Lasala, J.M. \u0026 Lay, K.E. (1990).

After graduating from  Alexandria High School  in  1924 , he studied at the University of Virginia's Engineering School before transferring to the architecture program in the McIntire School of Fine Arts in  1926 . While never receiving his degree, Grigg was recorded as an alumnus of UVA's Architecture class of  1929 . ","Following his studies, Grigg apprenticed for  Perry, Shaw and Hepburn , of  Boston, Massachusetts  as a draftsman and designer for the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg until  1933 . During his years in Williamsburg, he learned a great about the practices of restoration and Early American architecture. ","In 1933 Grigg returned to  Charlottesville  and started a private practice. He achieved success early on. After he received a bronze medal in the nationwide Better Homes in America competition, he earned a spot on the 1930s Monticello restoration project under Fiske Kimball, and also took on wealthy Northern clients who suffered financially during the Depression and wished to regain lavish lifestyles in the South. These included  Marion DuPont , who renovated James Madison's Montpelier,  Langhorne Gibson  (daughter of Irene Langhorne, \"The Gibson Girl,\"), and  Grover C. Dula  of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. In  1937 , Grigg added  University of Virginia  alumnus  Floyd E. Johnson  to his firm and renovated the Albemarle County Courthouse. ","In  1936  Grigg identified the home called Edgemont as a work of  Thomas Jefferson , which established his legitimacy as a professional with  Fiske Kimball . He then altered and restored the building in  1938  and again in  1946 .","Grigg moved to  Washington, D.C.  in  1941  after dissolving his firm's partnership to work as the Chief of the Design Section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There, he worked on national projects like the Potomac River Basin, the National Airport, and the construction of Walter Reed Hospital. During 1942-1945 Grigg served as the civilian head of the Design Section for the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington, chiefly designing military hospitals and other structures. He also served on commissions and boards in the city of Charlottesville; these included the Planning Commission, the Building Code Commission, and the Building Code Appeal Board. He was also a member of the Rotary Club. ","After World War II, Grigg moved back to Charlottesville, where he practiced with his new associate  William Newton Hale , and also started an additional office in Alexandria. By  1977  their firm came to be known by the name  Grigg, Wood, and Browne . The firm specialized in churches, estates, and restoration. Grigg and Hale designed new homes in the Meadowbrook Hills neighborhood, and many public, religious, civic, and commercial buildings. Grigg also restored many churches, as he maintained traditional styles as well as dabbled in modern architecture.  ","From November  1953  to February  1954  Grigg served as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation's architect, and as a member of the Monticello restoration committee, supervising its restoration. He was also responsible for the design of the U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia, and the notable St. John's Lutheran Church in Emporia, Virginia. ","Grigg was a fellow of the  American Institute of Architects  (three-time president of the Virginia chapter) and served as its director for the Middle Atlantic Region. He served twice as president of the  Church Architectural Guild of America , 1963-1964, as president of the  Interfaith Research Center  in  New York , and as comptroller of the  International Congress on Religious Architecture . ","Grigg died on  March 23, 1982 , aged seventy-six. "," \nReference list:","Lasala, J.M. \u0026 Lay, K.E. (1990).

While attending, she developed an Exercise or Cypher Book, which accumulated her mathematics work throughout the academic year. Details of Sally Brown's life, along with that of her instructor, before and after the creation of the Exercise Book are not currently known.","Although the circumstances of Sally Brown's education are unclear, it is possible that she was preparing for skills relevant to the commercial world of the time. The Exercise Book's emphasis on the practical uses of mathematics, like measuring alcohol, silver, and grain, demonstrates an essential knowledge base young people needed to participate in the mercantile economies of early American cities. ","Reverend Thomas Dilworth 's The Schoolmaster's Assistant, which Brown's instructor used to create word problems and explain mathematical processes in her Exercise Book, was among the most popular teaching texts in America from its first American printing in  1769  until around  1850 . As Dilworth's book was British in origin, many of his word problems, along with topics of measurement and currency, relied on British systems such as the Pound Sterling, Troy Weight, Avoirdupois Weight, and Winchester Measure. In 1786 and 1787,  America  had begun legislation that would culminate in the minting of a central currency, but coins would not come to market until at least  1792 , leaving Americans to use predominantly foreign ones such as the Pound Sterling,  Spanish  Dollar, and  French  Livre.","In 18th century America, formal education for girls was relatively rare outside of upper-class families, where instruction predominantly covered subjects like philosophy, foreign languages, and household management. Larger towns often had schoolhouses with separate classrooms or designated hours of instruction for female students. However, Dame schools—primary education institutions taught by older women or retired soldiers in the instructor's home—were among the only options available to middle-class boys and girls to learn basic skills like arithmetic and spelling.","The paper cover wrapper's watermark, a Dutch emblem with the words Pro Patria, a lion, and the \"Maid of Dort,\" indicates that the exercise book's paper may have been imported or based on Dutch designs.

","This collection contains one Exercise or Cypher Book created by  Sally Brown  for a classroom environment in the United States of America between  1786  and  1787 . It demonstrates basic mathematical and measurement disciplines specifically geared toward a future of work in a mercantile economy. Various 18th century mathematical procedures and some proofs are showcased throughout the Exercise Book.  ","Exercise Books were common tools for instruction in the 18th and early 19th centuries. They served as workbooks and personal mathematical records, typically showcasing the student's penmanship and understanding of arithmetic. Exercise Books were often kept into adulthood as references for everyday tasks requiring mathematics, spelling, or other subjects, especially for those without access to personal libraries. ","Brown's instructor, who is not named in the document, developed instruction and mathematical problems for the Exercise Book that were copied largely from  Reverend Thomas Dilworth 's \"The Schoolmaster's Assistant,\" though some are their original creation. For example, word problems engaging the student to measure how many buckles could be made of an amount of silver do not appear in Dilworth's original text. On the other hand, the subtraction problem, \"King Charles was beheaded in the year  1648 . How many years is it since?\", was paraphrased from his work.  ","Its topic headings and descriptions are copied in order directly from Dilworth, and include Compound Addition, Money, Apothecary Weight, Avoirdupois Weight, Apothecaries Weight, Long Measure, Cloth Measure, Land Measure, Liquid Measure, Wine Measure, Winchester Measure, Dry Measure, as well as Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Reduction, and the Single Rule of Three Direct, among others.  ","A section on the \"Exchange of Mony\" indicates that the Exercise Book was created in either  New York  or  Philadelphia . The Exercise Book specifically illustrates problems defining exchange rates between \"Lawful Money,\" \"York Currency,\" \"Sterling,\" \"New York Money,\" and \"Philadelphia Mony.\" A Dutch-style watermark on the back leaf of the cover wrapper suggests that its paper had been either imported or molded after European examples.  ","Sally Brown's name and signature appear three times in the item, though only one personal annotation was made; beside a division proof she writes, \"...it proves I have not time to get a damn proof[.] I mean that.\" ","Resourse List:","Dilworth, Thomas.

As Dilworth's book was British in origin, many of his word problems, along with topics of measurement and currency, relied on British systems such as the Pound Sterling, Troy Weight, Avoirdupois Weight, and Winchester Measure. In 1786 and 1787,  America  had begun legislation that would culminate in the minting of a central currency, but coins would not come to market until at least  1792 , leaving Americans to use predominantly foreign ones such as the Pound Sterling,  Spanish  Dollar, and  French  Livre.","In 18th century America, formal education for girls was relatively rare outside of upper-class families, where instruction predominantly covered subjects like philosophy, foreign languages, and household management. Larger towns often had schoolhouses with separate classrooms or designated hours of instruction for female students. However, Dame schools—primary education institutions taught by older women or retired soldiers in the instructor's home—were among the only options available to middle-class boys and girls to learn basic skills like arithmetic and spelling.","The paper cover wrapper's watermark, a Dutch emblem with the words Pro Patria, a lion, and the \"Maid of Dort,\" indicates that the exercise book's paper may have been imported or based on Dutch designs.

While attending, she developed an Exercise or Cypher Book, which accumulated her mathematics work throughout the academic year. Details of Sally Brown's life, along with that of her instructor, before and after the creation of the Exercise Book are not currently known.","Although the circumstances of Sally Brown's education are unclear, it is possible that she was preparing for skills relevant to the commercial world of the time. The Exercise Book's emphasis on the practical uses of mathematics, like measuring alcohol, silver, and grain, demonstrates an essential knowledge base young people needed to participate in the mercantile economies of early American cities. ","Reverend Thomas Dilworth 's The Schoolmaster's Assistant, which Brown's instructor used to create word problems and explain mathematical processes in her Exercise Book, was among the most popular teaching texts in America from its first American printing in  1769  until around  1850 . As Dilworth's book was British in origin, many of his word problems, along with topics of measurement and currency, relied on British systems such as the Pound Sterling, Troy Weight, Avoirdupois Weight, and Winchester Measure. In 1786 and 1787,  America  had begun legislation that would culminate in the minting of a central currency, but coins would not come to market until at least  1792 , leaving Americans to use predominantly foreign ones such as the Pound Sterling,  Spanish  Dollar, and  French  Livre.","In 18th century America, formal education for girls was relatively rare outside of upper-class families, where instruction predominantly covered subjects like philosophy, foreign languages, and household management. Larger towns often had schoolhouses with separate classrooms or designated hours of instruction for female students. However, Dame schools—primary education institutions taught by older women or retired soldiers in the instructor's home—were among the only options available to middle-class boys and girls to learn basic skills like arithmetic and spelling.","The paper cover wrapper's watermark, a Dutch emblem with the words Pro Patria, a lion, and the \"Maid of Dort,\" indicates that the exercise book's paper may have been imported or based on Dutch designs. Pro Patria, which translates to \"For the Fatherland\" in  Latin , frequently appeared alongside the \"Maid of Dort,\" a national symbol connected to Dordrecht, the oldest city in  Holland . Some American paper mills reproduced the Dutch Pro Patria imprint after the American Revolutionary War, exemplified by letter paper produced at a mill in  Richmond, Virginia , and used by  Thomas Jefferson .","Resource List:","Barrett, Timothy. \"Early European Papers: Contemporary Conservation and Craft Use.\" The Book and Paper Group Annual 16 (1997).

He was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1769 to 1775, and with R. H. Lee and Patrick Henry initiated the inter-colonial committee of correspondence in 1773. He wrote the widely circulated Summary View of the Rights of British America in 1774. Jefferson was a member of the Continental Congress in 1775 and 1776, and was chairman of committee that prepared Declaration of Independence. Jefferson himself wrote and presented the first draft of Declaration to Congress on July 2, 1776. He then signed Declaration with other founding fathers. Jefferson was Governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781, and again a member of the Continental Congress from 1783 to 1785. He proposed decimal coinage, a series of provisions later embodied in Ordinance of 1787. He served as U.S. minister to France from 1785 to 1789, and as U.S. Secretary of State from 1790 to 1793. He served as Vice president of the U.S. from 1797 to 1801, and drafted the Kentucky Resolves in 1798, against the Alien and Sedition Acts. ","Jefferson was President of the United States from 1801 to 1809, elected by the House of Representatives after a tie in electoral vote (with Aaron Burr, q.v.). His presidential administration is remembered for the purchase of Louisiana from France in 1803 and dispatch of Lewis and Clark to explore it; the war against Algerian pirates from 1801 to 1805; diplomatic trouble with Great Britain over \"impressments\" of American seamen (Embargo Act of 1807); and prohibition of the importation of slaves. ","After retirement from presidency, Jefferson lived on his plantation at Monticello near Charlottesville, Virginia. He was instrumental in founding the University of Virginia in 1819. He was a noted naturalist, scholar, and architect, and author of Notes on the State of Virginia in 1785. Jefferson died 4 July 1826 and is buried at Monticello.","Epithet: actor, son of Joseph Jefferson","SNAC Cooperative.

The instruments recommended by Jefferson were to outfit the departments of science in the Academical Village classrooms and laboratories at the University of Virginia, which held its first term in 1826. The listed is organized through headings by equipment requirements for each scientific department at the University: \"Genl purposes,\" \"Mechanics,\" \"Hydrostatics,\" \"Optics,\" \"Electricity Etc.,\" \"Astronomy,\" and \"Miscellaneous.\" Jefferson's list includes a \"very accurate set of weights\" outlined with a table, a \"model of Braham's fire engine,\" \"a good Kaleidoscope,\" a \"simple Planetarium, 3f diam. with Sun, moon \u0026 earth only,\" a \"Lithographic press,\" an \"Electric battery,\" a \"Turning lathe with Tools for working in wood \u0026 brass,\" a \"Magic lanthern,\" \"12 f of brass chain for electrical machine,\" a camera lucida, a variety of pumps, a charcoal furnace, and many other scientific dependencies. For his request of \"a very large supply\" of glass tubes, Jefferson included three simple drawings of his preferred tube types. This list of proposed instruments was penned by Jefferson shortly before Francis Walker Gilmer, an emissary of Jefferson, was dispatched to Europe to gather mechanical and scientific instruments, as well as recruit professors from London, Cambridge, and Edinburgh colleges for the forming University of Virginia. Gilmer returned to Virginia at the end of 1824 with five professorships filled. Three small paper fragments from the manuscript are also present.","This series primarily consists of architectural studies on structures found at the University of Virginia, at Thomas Jefferson's private properties like Monticello and Poplar Forest, and studies on structures in Richmond, VA.

He was a noted naturalist, scholar, and architect, and author of Notes on the State of Virginia in 1785. Jefferson died 4 July 1826 and is buried at Monticello.","Epithet: actor, son of Joseph Jefferson","SNAC Cooperative.

He was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1769 to 1775, and with R. H. Lee and Patrick Henry initiated the inter-colonial committee of correspondence in 1773. He wrote the widely circulated Summary View of the Rights of British America in 1774. Jefferson was a member of the Continental Congress in 1775 and 1776, and was chairman of committee that prepared Declaration of Independence. Jefferson himself wrote and presented the first draft of Declaration to Congress on July 2, 1776. He then signed Declaration with other founding fathers. Jefferson was Governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781, and again a member of the Continental Congress from 1783 to 1785. He proposed decimal coinage, a series of provisions later embodied in Ordinance of 1787. He served as U.S. minister to France from 1785 to 1789, and as U.S. Secretary of State from 1790 to 1793. He served as Vice president of the U.S. from 1797 to 1801, and drafted the Kentucky Resolves in 1798, against the Alien and Sedition Acts. ","Jefferson was President of the United States from 1801 to 1809, elected by the House of Representatives after a tie in electoral vote (with Aaron Burr, q.v.). His presidential administration is remembered for the purchase of Louisiana from France in 1803 and dispatch of Lewis and Clark to explore it; the war against Algerian pirates from 1801 to 1805; diplomatic trouble with Great Britain over \"impressments\" of American seamen (Embargo Act of 1807); and prohibition of the importation of slaves. ","After retirement from presidency, Jefferson lived on his plantation at Monticello near Charlottesville, Virginia. He was instrumental in founding the University of Virginia in 1819. He was a noted naturalist, scholar, and architect, and author of Notes on the State of Virginia in 1785. Jefferson died 4 July 1826 and is buried at Monticello.","Epithet: actor, son of Joseph Jefferson","SNAC Cooperative.
