They had six children, with only two living to adulthood.
A really good question- with no one easy answer. Jefferson had one daughter- Martha Jefferson- with his wife. It is claimed that Jefferson also fathered 6 children (2 boys, 4 girls) with Sally Hemmings, a slave (and half sister of Jefferson's wife). This has been debated, and continues to be debated.
Thomas Jefferson had six children with his wife Martha Jefferson. Four of their children died in infancy, likely due to complications from childbirth or illness. Their two surviving daughters, Martha and Mary, lived to adulthood.
Yes. I believe 4 of his 6 children died before they reached adulthood. Nobody knows why though?
There is no evidence that more than one had such children . (The one that may be guilty is Thomas Jefferson.)
His longtime companion was Sally Hemings, who may have actually been a half-sister to his late wife. She bore him six children; he freed them all when they became adults. Jefferson didn't treat Sally as a slave, but rather as a helpmeet. He could not have married her, because of the customs (and laws) of the time. In the modern age, he may well have.
This may sound funny but it is true: Ireland.
Congress appointed Thomas Jefferson as the Minister to France. Thomas Jefferson accepted this appointment on May 11, 1784.

You may be thinking about Thomas JEFFERSON...Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison did not live in the same time.
