Thomas Jefferson
By Cathy Pearl 		  
1     Many men helped our country grow. One of these men was Thomas Jefferson. He became a very important man. He did many things for America. These things helped it become what it is today.
 
2     Jefferson was born in 1743. He was the third child. His mom's family was important. They were one of the first to live in Virginia. His dad owned a lot of land. He died when Jefferson was 14. He got 5,000 acres of land when he died.
