Fascinating details
|
- Thomas Jefferson had been a widower for almost two decades by the time he was inaugurated, allowing his daughter Martha “Patsy” Randolph to take on the role of ‘first lady.’
- As a child, she accompanied her father Thomas Jefferson to Paris (Jefferson was going to Europe to promote American interests abroad as Minister to France) and resided there from August 1784 to September 1789.
- Her husband, Thomas Mann Randolph, often stayed at the White House with President Jefferson.
