Hey y’all! My latest article is available to read on my Medium page! Martha Jefferson is among the less known of the First Ladies due to her untimely death at age 33 and most of her letters were destroyed by Thomas. Although she passed 18 years before Thomas Jefferson became president, she is still considered a First Lady considering her massive impact on her husband long after her death. I hope you enjoy the article!
