Where was Thomas Jefferson born and raised?

Answer 1

Jefferson was born on 13 April 1743, in Shadwell, Virginia, later a part of Albemarle County. His mother, Jane Randolph, was from a wealthy family that claimed descent from the kings of Scotland and England. Jane's cousin, Peyton Randolph, was the most important man in the Virginia House of Burgesses and well respected throughout the Thirteen Colonies for his oratorical and political savvy. From his mother's side, Jefferson inherited, at birth, a prominent place in the Virginia aristocracy. His radical streak came from his dad. Peter Jefferson was not a part of the Virginia gentry. He was from a modest family, and had made his fortune as a farmer and surveyor. You might say that Thomas Jefferson's life, just like his thought, took place at the intersection of equality and elitism.
