LAWYER in Virginia. Mrs. Jefferson died in
the autumn of 1882, leaving two daughters.
One of these daughters married John w.
Eppes, a distinguished member OF Congress
from Virginia. Mrs. Eppes died, leaving
two children, one of whom alone survived in

Randolph possessed an estate near Month
cello, but his family generally formed part
Of that at Monticello. Mrs Randolph has

have died. She has two daughters married.
