Judith Jefferson, through her grandmother, Mary Branch Jefferson (1657-1715), wife of Thomas Jefferson I (1629-1697), has had her descent traced to Royalty, including King Edward I, William the Conqueror and Charlemagne. Her grandfather, Major Peter Field (1647-1707), a gentleman justice, is said to have been the grandson of Theophilus Field, Bishop of Hereford. Her great grandfather, Henry Soane, was Speaker of the House of Burgesses for James City County in 1661.
She was the daughter of Thomas Jefferson II (1677-1731) and Virginia Mary Field Jefferson (daughter of Major Peter Field and his wife, Judith (Soane) Field, widow of Henry Randolph. She was the aunt of POTUS Thomas Jefferson.
For many decades it was recorded in the genealogical literature that Judith Jefferson married William Farrar IV, the last owner of Farrar's Island. Two documents referenced in Miss Alvahn Holmes 1979 book "Some Farrar's Island's Descendants" proved she didn't. They were, the deed of sale of Farrar's Island to Thomas Randolph, 05 Feb 1727, which was preceded by a Henrico County Court record dated 03 Feb 1727, stating that "Sarah Farrar", wife of the said Farrar (William Farrar IV) relinquished her dower rights. Secondly, the 20 Aug 1809 obituary of George Farrar's son, Thomas Farrar, in Franklin Co., GA stating he was a cousin of President Thomas Jefferson (first cousin to be exact).
Judith, aunt of POTUS Thomas Jefferson, married George Farrar, Sr., circa 1717/1718, at Mecklenburg Co., VA. George Farrar was of the last generation of Farrars born on Farrar's Island, Henrico Co., VA. After their marriage, they initially resided on Farrar's Island. On March 15, 1725 Judith's father, Thomas Jefferson II (1677-1731), wrote his will in Henrico County. In it he made several bequests to Judith Farrar, among them a share in the proceeds from the sale of his "half of Grilly's Mill, the land mortgaged by Richard Grilly, etc". Later, on 04 Nov 1728 (the year following the sale of Farrar's Island to the Thomas Randolph) Thomas Jefferson II won a law suit against Matthew Ligon for rightful possession of this land, being 150 acres the upper half of a tract taken up by Richard Grills in 1710 and deeded to Thomas Jefferson (II) on September 12, 1717. Matthew Ligon was then ordered to turn the property over to "George Farrar and his heirs forever." This transfer was recorded at Varina Court, 1st Monday in April 1729. Already having willed part of this property to Judith Farrar, Thomas Jefferson II, after winning the suit, decided to give her the whole plantation in his lifetime and thus deeded it to her in the name of her husband, George Farrar.
George and Judith Farrar occupied this plantation for thirty years, during which he was active in the life of the county, serving on the jury, acting as appraiser and processioner of land in 1736. (A patentee was required to cultivate a certain portion of his land and the processioner's duty was to make periodic checks as to its use.)
The exact date they moved to Mecklenburg Co. is unclear but it was circa 1760/61. The move was probably prompted by Judith's desire to live near her brother, Field Jefferson, who had established a large estate on the north side of the Roanoke River near the Howards, where he operated a ferry for years.
Children of Judith Jefferson and George Farrar, Sr. were:
1) Abel Farrar, not named in his father's 16 Mar 1772 will as he died in the French and Indian Wars. According to Hening's "Statutes at Large", VIII, p128, "in 1760 George Farrar received the balance of Abel Farrar's pay as lieutenant, 19 lb. 15 sh., Chesterfield County".
