Biography

He was born about 1780 and his parents were Elizabeth (Horsley) and Charles Goodman. [1]

About 1792 his brother Nathan Goodman married Mildred Clarkson.

Jeremiah Augustus Goodman married on 10 Jan 1804 in Albemarle, Virginia to Mary "Sally" Clarkson. The Clarkson sisters were daughters of Manoah Clarkson.

At times Jeremiah managed the Virginia plantations of Thomas Jefferson, one of which was his country estate "Poplar Forest" in Bedford County, Virginia. [2] Thomas Jefferson was also of Albemarle County, Virginia where his home Monticello was located.

On 11 Aug 1811 Jeremiah was appointed overseer at Poplar Forest and after some period served in that capacity at Jeffersons's Lego estate in Albemarle, Virginia.

On 06 Jan 1815 Jeremiah aroused the ire of Jefferson for badly handling an issue with a slave. Two weeks later, in a letter to William Newby, Jefferson blamed part of his financial problems on "3 years of war, and 4 years of Goodman and Darnell have accumulated on me". After being discharged by Jefferson soon thereafter, Jeremiah returned to Albemarle, Virginia to settle on a farm inherited from his father and father-in-law (Charles Goodman and Manoah Clarkson). That farm adjoined that of President Monroe and was in plain view of Monticello, Charlottesville and the University of Virginia.
