Theano biography of Thomas Jefferson, written by Thomas Jefferson, Narrated by Brian Nelson. January 6th, 18 21 At the age of 77 I begin to make some memoranda and states and recollections of dates and facts concerning myself, for my own more ready reference and for the information of my family. The tradition in my father's family was that their ancestor came to this country from Wales and from near the mountain of Snowden, the highest in Great Britain. I noted once a case from whales in the law reports where a person of our name was either plaintiff or defendant and one of the same name was secretary to the Virginia company. These are the only instances in which I have met with the name in that country. I have found it in our early records, but the first particular information I have of any ancestor was of my grandfather, who lived at the place in Chesterfield, called Osbournes and owned the lands. Afterwards, in the glebe of the parish, he had three sons, Thomas, who died young field, who settled on the waters of Roanoke and left numerous descendants, and Peter, my father, who settled on the lands I still loan called Shad well, adjoining my present residence. He was born February 29th 17. 07 toe. Oh, wait and Inter married 17.
