Thomas left home early in life, and in almost every letter home, he requested his father send him large sums of money. Considerable money was sent, but finally the father saw he could not supply the demand. He advised Thomas Jefferson that he could not send him money as demanded, his son told him that he was in trouble, unless the money was soon forthcoming, he would never hear from him again. The money was not sent, he was not heard from again. In later years, his younger siblings did not know where he was living when he placed the heavy monetary demands on his father.
