This collection was made a gift to the Library on June 5, 1987 by William D. Eppes of New York, New York.

Scope and Content Information

These seven color photographs taken in April and May of 1977 are mostly of the Misses Margaret Randolph and Olivia Alexander Taylor at their residence in Albemarle County, "Lochlyn," and other local areas. Included in some of the photographs are Walter C. Curtis, William D. Eppes, and Charles H. Flanders.

Miss Margaret (June 9, 1888-April 1, 1985) and Miss Olivia (October 31, 1890-April 3, 1985) were the great-great-great granddaughters of Thomas Jefferson through the line of their father, Stevens Mason Taylor of "Tuckahoe." Both ladies received their bachelor degrees from George Washington University and pursued teaching careers at Western High School in Georgetown and Eastern High School in Washington, D.C., respectively. The sisters were members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Colonial Dames, Monticello Association, Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the Albemarle County Historical Society.
