Introduction

Welcome, my name is Thomas Jefferson and I was born on April 13, 1743 in Shadwell, Virginia and I died on July 4, 1826 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Most people know me as the third President of the United States, but really I did much more. When I was 16 I went to the College of William and Mary, I studied Mathematics, Philosophy, and Metaphysics. I graduated with the highest honors. I also studied law with George Withe. I then became a major politician. I started out by becoming a Representative to House of Burgesses, then a Delegate to Continental Congress. I went through many other smaller politician jobs before getting my big break as the Governor of Virginia. I soon became the US Secretary of State, the the Vice President, and finally the third President of the United States of America. For people that don't know I was a Democratic Republican. One thing more important to me then my political career was my family. I was married to a gorgeous lady called Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson. I had six children, Martha Jefferson Randolph, Jane Randolph, unnamed son, Mary Wayles, Lucy Elizabeth, Lucy Elizabeth.
