• Notes

  Judith Jefferson married George Farrar about 1717, son of William Farrar and Priscilla Baugh, and they lived at his family estate, Farrar's Island on the James River in Henrico County, which had been one of the first land patents granted in the Virginia colony to his ancestor William Farrar posthumously in 1637. There were many dealings between the Jeffersons and Farrars in Virginia records. Judith and George Farrar had nine children born between 1718 to 1738, most of them born at Farrar's Island. Judith's eldest brother, Thomas Jefferson III, died at sea in 1723, when Judith was 24. George Farrar's brothers sold their shares of the Farrar's Island property in 1727-28 to the Randolphs.

November 1786) Judith Jefferson (daughter of Thomas Jefferson II and Mary Field) was born August 30, 1698 in Osbornes, Henrico Co. Virginia, and died November 1786 in St. James Parish, Mecklenburg Co Virginia. She married George Farrar on Abt. 1717 in Henrico Co. Virginia, son of William Farrar and Priscilla Baugh. Judith Jefferson, the eldest child of Thomas Jefferson II and Mary Field, was born at the family plantation at Jefferson's Landing, later known as Osborne's. Judith was named after her maternal grandmother Judith Soane, the daughter of Judith Fuller. Judith's mother, Mary Field Jefferson, died two weeks before Judith's 17th birthday. Only Judith's brother, Thomas Jefferson III, the eldest son in the family, was given a quality education. Younger brother, Peter Jefferson, eager to learn, was self taught. Years later his son, President Thomas Jefferson, wrote that his father's education had been neglected. Education for the Jefferson daughters is not mentioned in family biographies. Judith Jefferson married George Farrar about 1717, son of William Farrar and Priscilla Baugh, and they lived at his family estate, Farrar's Island on the James River in Henrico County, which had been one of the first land patents granted in the Virginia colony to his ancestor William Farrar posthumously in 1637. There were many dealings between the Jeffersons and Farrars in Virginia records. Judith and George Farrar had nine children born between 1718 to 1738, most of them born at Farrar's Island. Judith's eldest brother, Thomas Jefferson III, died at sea in 1723, when Judith was 24. George Farrar's brothers sold their shares of the Farrar's Island property in 1727-28 to the Randolphs. On March 15, 1725 Judith's father Thomas Jefferson II wrote his will in Henrico County. In it he made several bequests to Judith Farrar, among them a share in the proceeds from the sale of his "half of Gilly's Mill, the land mortgaged by (Mr. Richard) Grill," etc. Later on November 4, 1728 (the year following the sale of Farrar's Island to the Randolphs) Thomas Jefferson II won a law suit against Matthew Ligon for rightful possession of this land, being 150 acres the upper half of a tract taken up by Richard Grills in 1710 and deeded to Thomas Jefferson September 12, 1717. Mathew Ligon was then ordered to turn the property over to "George Farrar and his heirs forever." This transfer recorded at Varina Court, 1st Monday in April 1729. Already having willed part of this property to Judith Farrar, Thomas Jefferson II, after winning the suit, decided to give her the whole plantation in his lifetime and thus deeded it to her in the name of husband George Farrar. George and Judith occupied this land for about thirty years. The deed describes the plantation as being in Henrico County Southside (which later became Chesterfield County), south side of Swift Creek, both sides of Reedy Run, near Curles, "all houses, gardens, orchards, fences, woods, underwoods, waters and watercourses, profits, commodities and hereditaments to the said plantation." Described as on John and Frederick Baugh's line, it was also in the neighborhood of the Jefferson Plantation, Branch and Batte families and near where Judith's grandparents Major Peter and Judith (Soane) Field had lived.
