Answer 8

Like you, I am also 13 degrees from Thomas Jefferson, and also a cousin--10th cousins, 5 times removed.  Closest common ancestor:  [[Dormer-3|Geoffrey Dormer (1417-1503)]]

It was fun to read through and see the close connections, even a 5th great-grand nephew(!), to this famous man.

Thanks to some research and a "found" ancestor, I am now 12 degrees from Thomas Jefferson (my 5th great-grandfather's niece married Thomas Jefferson's grandson, Thomas Jefferson Randolph).  Interesting how things develop as we make discoveries!  The cousin relationship has also changed, he is now shown as my 7th cousin, 9 times removed.

Also, more research has uncovered the type of connections that won't show up as easily:  my ancestors were Jefferson's neighbors.  And one cousin, also a neighbor, was someone Jefferson disliked.  If I find the quote he wrote about that Wingfield, I'll add it here.
