This list was compiled from the Annual Reports of the Monticello Association, an organization of descendants of Thomas Jefferson. The Monticello Association is responsible for the care and preservation of the Monticello graveyard; Jefferson descendants are still buried there today.
It is interesting that Filippo’s wife, the previous Mrs. Martin from London, was also said to be buried in the Monticello Graveyard although she is not listed here. An email exchange with Monticello researchers did confirm that she IS indeed buried in the cemetery so perhaps this list only contains the actual Jefferson descendants and not all persons buried in the cemetery.

He’s wonderful and he’s all about inspiration and his character here is this goofy nutty dad who is just kind of a loser in many ways. He’s… he’s Stormageddons dad. Is that not just too cute for you, cuz cuz of course babies can talk to The Doctor and his name is Alfie but he tells The Doctor his name is Stormageddon and The Doctor tells his dad that. He as well kidnapped…. these Cybermen ruin everything don’t they. They just show up all the time but in this case he’s he’s about to be transformed into a Cyberman and hearing the baby cry draws the sensitivity in him to fight the Cyberman influence and break free. His dad-hood is what saves him. Not any other masculineness… Here’s my big gun. No I got all these big… The fact that he loves his child is the thing that saves his life. I think that’s so cool. I like that.
