Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President, had six kids. They're names were: Martha, Jane, Mary, Lucy the first, Lucy the second, and a stillborn son. .JPG)
Martha Washington Jefferson, named after her mother, was born in 1722 and died in 1836. From age 12 to 17, she lived in Paris while her father served as a U.S. minister to France. In 1790, Martha married Thomas Mann Randolph Jr. , who served as governor for Virginia from 1819 to 1822. In 1826, she inherited Monticello from her father, Thomas Jefferson, but had to sell it to James T. Barclay in 1831 because of financial trouble. Jane Randolph Jefferson was named after Thomas Jefferson's mother. However, she was born in 1774 and lived for only a year, dying in 1775.
The Jefferson's infant son was born in 1777, but was stillborn.
Mary Wayles Jefferson was born in 1778 and died in 1804. In 1797, she married her cousin and childhood friend John Wayles Eppes. Their first child was born in 1800, but died after just a couple days. In 1801, Mary gave birth to their only child to survive infancy: Francis W. Eppes. Their final child was born in 1804, but was small and died later that year. Mary never recovered from her last birth and died later that year.

There isn't much information on the Jefferson's last two children: Lucy Elizabeth Jefferson I and Lucy Elizabeth Jefferson II. Lucy the first lived only a year: 1780 to 1781. Lucy the second only lived three years: 1782 to 1785. Overall, with only two out of six kids living more than 3 years, the Jefferson's family life isn't exactly what you'd call enjoyable.
