Jon,
Yes, this is the book that Monticello referenced when Dr Foster sought
assistance for Jefferson family information and when contacted by Dr Foster
in 1997 I agreed to participate in the DNA Study. The book is a private
printing and was never intended for commercial sale but was distributed free
to family members and book depositories all over the country. It takes the
reader from the early Jeaffresons of Pettistree, Suffolk County, England up
through the West Indies to present generations. No, I don't believe it is
mentioned on the Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society (www.tjheritage.org) web
page because it is not available for sale or review there. It may be listed
on my private page at www.angelfire.com/va/TJTruth and possibility reference
to the Pettistree, England genealogy.

Sir,
I too have been following these debates since the early 70s, and was
therefore interested that you mention having written a book with your wife
about the Jefferson family. It is not among the books listed on your
Jefferson Heritage website (all of which I have read) and both a title and
an author search in the UVA library online catalogue came up with
nothing, though I do find this entry (below) in the Library of Virginia
on-line catalogue.
Is this the book to which you refer? If so, thank you for bringing it
to our attention. I hope to look at it next time I'm in the LVA archives
reading room.
