Did Thomas Jefferson die in 1800?



Item # 702636

July 09, 1800

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, July 9, 1800  

* Death of Thomas Jefferson ?

Page 2 has an interesting report concerning the possible death of Thomas Jefferson. Headed: 'Of Mr. Jefferson", it begins: "The papers by the three last southern mails have brought account & contradictions of accounts of the death of Mr. Jefferson at his seat at Monticello..." followed by details of the reports. In reality, he would die on the 4th of July, 1826, the 50th anniversary if the document he is credited with penning.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, a bit irregular at the right margin, good condition.
