Crop rotation plan for Monticello

Thomas Jefferson, like other enlightened farmers, took a scientific approach to farming with the help of his son-in-law, Thomas Mann Randolph (1768-1828), who managed much of Jefferson's land after marrying Martha "Patsy" Jefferson in 1790. Jefferson's careful consideration of a workable method of crop rotation for Monticello -- an innovative practice at the time -- demonstrates his interest in scientific farming.

Jefferson's larger family at work

In addition to their general labor, slaves contributed to Monticello by selling fowl and vegetables from their own flocks and gardens to the plantation masters. The plantation mistress or her daughters made these purchases and maintained the household records. This book had first been used by Jefferson for legal notes and then by his wife, Martha (1748-1782), for her household records and recipes. Jefferson's granddaughter, Anne Cary Randolph (1791-1826), continued these records in the early nineteenth century. Most of the purchases recorded were made from the house slaves, particularly the extended Hemings family.

As dead to the world as she whose
loss occasioned it

Thomas Jefferson was devastated by the death of his wife Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson who died after giving birth to their sixth child, Lucy Elizabeth (1782-1784). Jefferson wrote little about his wife's death, making this entry into his account book on September 6, 1782: "My dear wife died this day at 11H -45' A.M." More than two months later he haltingly wrote to a French officer and friend, Marquis de Chastellux (1734-1788), that he was... "emerging from the stupor of mind which had rendered me as dead to the world as [she] was whose . . . loss occasioned it."
