About Randolph Jefferson
Was the younger brother of Thomas, and the only other surviving male sibling. He was twins with Anna Scott and they were the youngest of the Jefferson children.
He was 12 years younger than Thomas and spent several years living at Monticello.
Attended the College of William and Mary.
He married his first cousin Anne Jefferson Lewis in 1781 and was widowed some time between 1792 and 1807.
Captain Jefferson, as he was known, inherited the plantation Snowden, about twenty miles south of Monticello, in Buckingham County, across from Scott's Ferry, and lived a simple country gentleman's life. Snowden later burned to the ground, two days after Randolph's second wife and widow, Mitchie B. Pryor, moved out.
DNA testing commissioned by the Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society in 1999 suggested that Randolph rather than Thomas was most likely the father of Sally Heming's sons.
