Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States in the 19th century.
Thomas Jefferson's cursed army of zombie French werewolves attacked Congress in July 1789. (COMIC: The Long Con)
Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the American continent and search for, among other things, mammoths. Lucia Cailloux gave him a snuff box made of mammoth ivory. (PROSE: Grass)
In 1974 during a telephone conversation arising from his dialling of a wrong number, the Sixth Doctor related a popular aphorism by Jefferson to Lauren Hudson: "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it." Fortunately for Lauren, her next telephone call was a wrong number to a radio DJ, who just happened to be asking the source of that quote in a trivia contest. As a result Lauren won the biggest prize ever given away on British radio — a holiday for two in Marbella and spending money. (AUDIO: Urgent Calls)
According to the Seventh Doctor, Thomas Jefferson was a keen beekeeper. (AUDIO: Survival of the Fittest)
The Eleventh Doctor claimed that two of the American founders, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, may have fancied him. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut)
