66. Sally (see MB 30 Nov. 1815).
67. The deed to Abraham Hawley for the four-acre limestone tract purchased in 1771 reserved to TJ and his heirs the right to take from it stone for their own use (MB 29 Mch. 1771, cash accounts; ).
68. TJ’s grandsons Benjamin Franklin Randolph (1808-1871) and Meriwether Lewis Randolph (1810-1837) attended the Rev. Frederick Hatch’s school in Charlottesville (; ).
70. MB 27 Jan. 1821 and 15 Nov. 1820.
71. Thomas Sully (1783-1872) had been at Monticello painting the portrait of TJ which is now at the American Philosophical Society ().
72. Chapman Johnson and John Howe Peyton (1778-1847) were TJ’s attorneys in the friendly chancery suit he brought in 1818 to clarify the legal issues involved in a dispute with the Rivanna Navigation Company, which had been created in 1806 to open the river above Milton to navigation. The controversy, which had been brewing for a number of years and was undoubtedly prolonged by the personal animosity towards TJ of William D. Meriwether, one of the company’s directors, centered on the question of title to and responsibility for the canal to TJ’s Shadwell mills and the locks built in 1811 to bypass them. The decree in the case in 1819 largely supported TJ’s position (; chancery bill, 7 Apr. 1818, ViU; ; TJ notes on Rivanna Co. dispute, 17 Aug. 1817, DLC).
73. TJ had received this odometer as a gift in 1807 from its inventor, James Clarke of Powhatan County, and had used it ever since. He particularly liked the bell that chimed with the passing of the miles and the fact that the index decimally divided the miles into dimes and cents (TJ to Clarke, 22 May 1807, 5 Sep. 1820, 19 Jan. 1821; Clarke to TJ, 27 May 1807, 2 Apr. 1821; TJ Autobiography, L & B, i, 79-80).
74. TJ asked for a wine supply identical with that ordered in 1820, except that this year he wanted Muscat de Rivesalte instead of the usual dry Roussillon de Rivesalte (TJ to Joshua Dodge, 19 Apr. 1821; MB 13 July 1820, 7 Jan. 1822).
75. Nace (b. 1773) had driven cattle and sheep from Poplar Forest to Monticello in March (Joel Yancey to whom it may concern, 12 Mch. 1821, MHi).
76. TJ omitted a date here. He obviously spent the night of 22 Apr. at Henry Flood’s ordinary and arrived at Poplar Forest on 23 Apr.
77. James P. Patterson kept an ordinary in Buckingham County, probably on State Route 24 in the central part of present Appomattox County (Buckingham County Personal Property List, 1821, Vi).
78. TJ probably meant to refer to MB 4 Mch. 1790. Remaining unpaid on TJ’s oldest personal debt, on which he had not made a payment since 1808, was £410 on the sixth bond of the settlement with James Lyle in 1790. He was also still liable for his mother’s debt of £94 assumed in 1792 and a £94 residue of the Richard Harvie bond of 1775. Thus interest accounted for more than two-thirds of this new settlement, on which TJ was never able to make a payment (MB 4 Nov. 1767, legal notations, 18 Apr. 1775, 4 Mch. 1790, 30 July 1792; James Lyle to TJ, 20 Nov. 1820; TJ to Tarleton Saunders, 3 Jan., 19 Apr. 1821; Saunders to TJ, 7 Apr. 1821).
79. Eliza House Trist’s grandson Hore Browse Trist was attending the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. He and his brother Nicholas Philip Trist (1800-1874) had, at TJ’s invitation, made Monticello their second home since the end of 1817. Nicholas became engaged to TJ’s granddaughter Virginia J. Randolph in July 1821 and they were married at Monticello in Sep. 1824 (TJ to Robert Patterson, 7 Nov. 1820; ; ).
80. William Huntington, who had come to Charlottesville from Connecticut in 1820, was a general merchant at the corner of Main and Second streets, N.E. He was one of the few merchants in town to sell books (Charlottesville Central Gazette, 24 Nov. 1820, 31 May 1822; ).
81. No record of publication of such a work has been found.
82. In Jan. 1820 Clement P. and John H. McKennie had begun publishing Charlottesville’s first newspaper, the weekly Central Gazette ().
83. Thomas Walker Maury (d. 1842), son of the Rev. Matthew Maury, kept a school at the east end of Main Street, Charlottesville (; ; TJ to TMR, 30 July 1821).
84. Nathaniel S. Moorman of Kentucky related his misfortunes in a letter to TJ of 29 July 1821.
85. Here and at 14 and 15 Aug. TJ changed “Holly” to read “Hawley.”
86. This is the flour, ground from Chilean wheat, sent by TJ to William Alston (MB 25 Mch. 1820).
87. Arthur S. Brockenbrough, named proctor of the University of Virginia in 1819, was TJ’s diligent deputy in the construction of his academical village ().
88. TJ had had to take down the western gable end of the Shadwell manufacturing mill and rebuild it in wood (TJ to Joseph Gilmore, 12 May 1821; TJ to TMR, 27 June 1821).
89. On 21 Aug. TJ’s party evidently split up for the night’s lodging, with part staying at Mrs. Gibson’s ordinary and part nearby at Mount Pleasant, the home of Major David Patteson, on present Route 602 about seven miles north of Buckingham.
90. Lewis (perhaps James) Bolling had been overseer at the Tomahawk farm of Poplar Forest in 1819 (MB 16 Nov. 1821).
91. Payee is illegible, but beneath this word TJ wrote “Harlow,” for Brice Harlow, the waterman who brought the pots from Richmond. These earthenware pots were used for blanching sea kale (Crambe maritima), a regular early spring vegetable in TJ’s garden (TJ to Bernard Peyton, 20 Feb. 1821; Peyton to TJ, 6 Apr. 1821).
92. 7 Feb. 1817. Randolph’s order was a payment on rent of the Shadwell manufacturing mill.
93. William Craft kept an ordinary which was evidently near the Natural Bridge (Rockbridge County Personal Property List, 1822, Vi). TJ had gone there to have his property surveyed yet again, because of encroachments by adjacent landholders (William Paxton to TJ, 4 Aug. 1820; TJ to Paxton, 11 Nov. 1821; TJ to Mrs. Hudson, 14 Nov. 1821).
94. For the feelings which prompted TJ’s unsolicited contribution towards the building of Rev. Frederick Hatch’s home, see TJ to Hatch, 8 Dec. 1821 (Hatch to TJ, 17 Dec. 1821).
95. From Poplar Forest.
