John Yeardley (3 January 1786 – 11 August 1858) was a Quaker missionary. He was the son of Joel and Frances Yeardley, small dairy farmers at Orgreave, near Rotherham, Yorkshire. John was admitted a member of the Society of Friends in his twentieth year, entered a manufactory in Barnsley, and married, in 1809, Elizabeth Dunn, a convinced Friend much his senior. He commenced preaching in 1815, moving from place to place in the northern counties. In 1821 Yeardley's wife died, and, led by a persistent "call," he decided to settle at Pyrmont in Germany, where a small body of Friends existed. For his subsistence he arranged to represent some merchants who imported linen yarn, and later on he commenced bleaching on his own account. His philanthropic labours included the establishing of schools and meetings for the young, and many notable persons, including the prince and princess of Prussia, came to hear him preach. In 1824 he accompanied Martha Savory, an English Quaker, on a gospel journey up the Rhine from Elberfeld to Würtemberg, Tübingen, and other German towns, through Switzerland to Congénies in Central France, where some Friends were and (as of 1897) still are settled. They visited Theodor Fliedner at Kaiserswerth, and all the principal religious and philanthropic institutions on their route. [mehr]

Thomas Jefferson Randolph (September 12, 1792 – October 8, 1875) of Albemarle County was a planter and politician who served in the Virginia House of Delegates, was rector of the University of Virginia, and was a colonel in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He was notable as the oldest grandson of President Thomas Jefferson. He helped manage Monticello near the end of his grandfather's life and was executor of his estate. Since the late 20th century, Randolph has been notable for having been shown to give false information in telling the historian Henry Randall that his uncle Peter Carr (Thomas Jefferson's nephew) was the father of Sally Hemings' children. (His grandfather the president had been rumored to have children with Hemings.) Randolph was likely trying to deflect attention from his grandfather, Thomas Jefferson, as he admitted there were Hemings' children who strongly resembled the president. The Carr story was the basis for historians' denials of Jefferson's relationship from 1868 to 1998. Since the late 20th century and a DNA study disproving any Carr genetic connection to Eston Hemings, the youngest son of Sally Hemings, most historians accept that Jefferson had a long relationship with Sally Hemings and fathered her six children. Most scholars continue to hold that view, although a minority, including the 2001 Report of the Scholars Commission and Andrew Holowchak's 2013 book Framing a Legend, espouse a contrarian view of the Jefferson–Hemings controversy.

To Levi Lincoln. Monticello, August 30, 1803. Deak. Sir, The Enclosed Letter Came To Hand By Yesterday's Post. You Will Be Sensible Of The Circumstances Which Make It Improper That I Should Hazard A Formal Answer, As Well As Of The Desire Its Friendly Aspect Naturally Excites, That Those Concerned In It Should Understand That The Spirit They Express Is Friendly Viewed. You Can Judge Also From Your Knowledge Of The Ground, Whether It May Be Usefully Encouraged. I Take The Liberty, Therefore, Of Availing Myself Of Your Neighborhood To Boston, And Of Your Friendship To Me, To Request You To Say To The Captain And Others Verbally Whatever You Think Would Be Proper, As Expressive Of My Sentiments On The Subject. With Respect To The Day On Which They Wish To Fix Their Anniversary, They May Be Told, That Disapproving Myself Of Transferring The Honors And Veneration For The Great Birthday Of Our Republic To Any Individual, Or Of Dividing Them With Individuals, I Have Declined Letting My Own Birthday Be Known, And Have Engaged My Family Not To Communicate It. This Has Been The Uniform Answer To Every Application Of The Kind. [mehr]

To Doctor Vine Utley. Monticello, March 21, 1819. Sir, Your Letter Of February The 18th Came To Hand On The 1st Instant; And The Request Of The History Of My Physical Habits Would Have Puzzled Me Not A Little, Had It Not Been For The Model With Which You Accompanied It, Of Doctor Rush's Answer To A Similar Inquiry. I Live So Much Like Other People, That I Might Refer To Ordinary Life As The History Of My Own. Like My Friend The Doctor, I Have Lived Temperately, Eating Little Animal Food, And That Not As An Aliment, So Much As A Condiment For The Vegetables, Which Constitute My Principal Diet. I Double, However, The Doctor's Glass And A Half Of Wine, And Even Treble It With A Friend; But Halve Its Effect By Drinking The Weak Wines Only. The Ardent Wines I Cannot Drink, Nor Do I Use Ardent Spirits In Any Form. Malt Liquors And Cider Are My Table Drinks, And My Breakfast, Like That Also Of My Friend, Is Of Tea And Coffee. [mehr]

Dear Sir, I Am Become Very Uneasy, Lest You Should Have Adopted Some Channel For The Conveyance Of Your Letters To Me, Which Is Unfaithful. I Have None From You Of Later Date Than November The 25th, 1788, And Of Consequence, No Acknowledgment Of The Receipt Of Any Of Mine, Since That Of August The 11th, 1788. Since That Period, I Have Written To You Of The Following Dates. 1788. August The 20th, September The 3rd, 5th, 24th, November The 14th, 19th, 29th. 1789.

I Know, Through Another Person, That You Have Received Mine Of November The 29th, And That You Have Written An Answer; But I Have Never Received The Answer, And It Is This Which Suggests To Me The Fear Of Some General Source Of Miscarriage.
