Happy birthday to my distant cousin, Thomas Jefferson!
I’ve known for a few years that one of my cousins was Armistead Churchill Gordon (lawyer, attended UVA, was rector there in 1890s after the Rotunda fire), but I found out just this year that I’m linked through him to William Randolph (Armistead’s great-great-grandfather) and his notable descendants, including T.J. and Chief Justice John Marshall.
