A correspondent of Mr. Landon C. Bell writes:
Field Jefferson was twice married; First to Frances____, who died February 26, 1750. His second wife was Mary Robertson who survived him. I do not know the last name of his first wife. He was born in 1702 and died February 16, 1765."
Virginia Magazine of History and Biography Volume 37 page 163
Henrico County pages 307, 308, 309, first Monday in June Court, 1731. Field Jefferson and wife, Frances, convey to John Nash land willed by Major Peter Field in 1707 to his daughter, Mary, wife of Thomas Jefferson, the land located on south side Swift Creek. Wit: Edward Cox, Peter Jones, William Chambers.
A deed recorded "in Lunenburg shows that Field Jefferson of Lunenburg County and Mary Allen of Albemarle County entered into a prenuptial arrangement January 1, 1754. This lady was probably a widow, her maiden name being Robertson. If this is the fact, then the entries in the Jefferson Bible must have been changed, and the names of his wives combined, so as to make one wife!
At a Court held for Lunenburg County the lst day of january, 1754. The within artcles was proved by the oaths of two of the witnesses thereto subscribed to be the act and deed of the within Field Jefferson and Mary Allen and the same was ordered to be recorded. Teste: Clement Read, C.L.C. Recorded in Deed Book 3 page 412 and 413.
