      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.
