Papers regarding the exact location of Thomas Jefferson's birth place 1945 April13.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52238999

The papers contain transcripts of various documents regarding the birthplace of Jefferson. They were used at an April 1945 Charlottesville conference held to consider whether Jefferson was born at Tufton or Shadwell. The papers include "Primary sources indicating Peter Jefferson's movements" which was used in Elizabeth Page's contention that Jefferson might have been born at Shadwell. Committe members Dumas Malone, Elizabeth Page, Fiske Kimball, Marie Kimball, Thomas Perkins Abernethy, Bernard Mayo and Maude H. Woodfin concluded "that no ground exists for any supposition that Jefferson was born at Tufton or anywhere else than at Shadwell."
