Note: TJ's roll of Negroes in Nov 1794 notes that Goliah was born around 1731. If so, she was 12 years of age when her son Jupiter was born. Jupiter's birth was symbolic of the degeneration of humanity anywhere by any racial or ethnic group wherein offspring are essentially of the same generation as their parent.

Note: "Peter Jefferson left a "body servant" to each child, so Jefferson had a personal valet at age fourteen, and would have one all his life. The role of Negro as subservient was thus further reinforced; it became a bone-deep feeling. Still, his affection for and dependence upon these men, especially Jupiter, who accompanied him to William and Mary, James Hemings, his valet in Paris, and Burwell, who attended him to his death, represented a special relationship the exact nature of which largely defies definition. [Thomas Jefferson: Prof Fawn Brody]

Jupiter lived five years less than Hercules his father --- suggesting that death was both premature and unexpected. Research is needed to better attempt at understanding the type illnesses that many slaves died from.

"Several months before his election his slave Jupiter, exactly his own age, who had attended him like a shadow at William and Mary, and who had for years served as his coachman, died after nine days of suffering. Martha blamed it on medicine prescribed by a black doctor; Jefferson, however, wrote his son-in-law that he feared it came from Jupiter's insistence on accompanying him part way to Philadelphia. Knowing he was ailing, Jefferson said, he had "engaged Davy Bowles," but "Jupiter was so much disturbed at this that I yielded." He death, Jefferson continued sadly, "leaves void in my administration which I cannot fill up." James Hemings died in 1801. All we know is that Jefferson wrote to Thomas Mann Randolph of his "tragical end." [Thomas Jefferson: Prof. Fawn Brody]

Note: TJ Farmbook reflects Fanny as plantation mate/unofficial wife of Gill --- a father without authority over her or offspring. Relationship was likely as good as allowable under plantation slavery wherein fertile mothers were highly valued and functioned as matriarchs responsible to the patriarch/slave owner as their earthly lord, master and provider.

TJ listed her as a spinner in the 1800 inventory suggesting that she no longer worked in the fields.

Thomas Jefferson's Farm Book - Table 3, Post-Revolution Era (1783 - 1794)

Page 24 of the Farm Book does not list the following individuals reflected earlier on pages 5 through 23. TJ's letter to Alexander McCaul dated Paris Jan.4 1787 reads: ".... A number of slaves have been sold, & I have lately received information from Messrs. Eppes & Lewis that the proceeds of that sale with the profits of the estate to the end of 1786 would pay off the whole of the secondary debts .... (DLC). It would appear that upwards of sixty-five slaves (listed below) at the various plantations died, escaped or were sold during the fighting or era following the end of the revolutionary war in 1783.

"Of the twenty-two slaves who fled twelve died, and of the six who returned four died shortly, either of "camp fever" or of smallpox, which now became epidemic at Monticello and killed eight additional slaves. Jefferson soberly recorded all the details in his Farm Book. His own moral dilemma we learn about most concretely from a letter he wrote some years later in Paris. Here he described how Cornwallis "carried off" thirty of his slaves, adding: Had this been to give them freedom, he would have done right, but it was to consign them to inevitable death from small pox and putrid fever then raging in his camp. This I knew afterwards to have been the fate of 27 of them. I never had news of the remaining three.... I supposed the state of Virginia lost under Lord Cornwallis's hands that year about 30,000 slaves, and that of these about 27,000 died of the small pox and camp fever, and the rest were prtly sent to the West Indies and exchanged for rum, sugar, coffee and fruits, and partly sent to New York, ffrm whence they went at the peace either to Nova Scotia, or England. From this place I believer they have been lately sent to Africa." [Thomas Jefferson: Prof. Fawn Brody]
