Other marriages:JEFFERSON, Thomas
Although Maria Cosway was an accomplished artist, she is now remembered primarily because of the question: "Did she, or did she not, sleep with Thomas Jefferson?"
From reading the torrid love letters she exchanged with Thomas Jefferson, one can say that it is beyond reasonable doubt that she did sleep with Thomas Jefferson. However, he dumped her after he got involved with Sally Hemings.
Her husband was an artist of great renown. However, he was also a notorious homosexual. This led Maria Cosway to seek out numerous lovers in her lifetime. Thomas Jefferson was one of her early lovers.
An excellent article in the August 1971 issue of American Heritage magazine entitled "Thomas Jefferson and Maria Cosway" provides ample evidence that their relationship in 1786 was sexual.
Maria (Hadfield) Cosway was born in Florence, Italy in 1759. Maria's parents owned three inns in Florence that were very popular with the English who would be visitors taking the Grand Tour. Maria's brother George Hadfield was a famous architect who is best known for designing the Arlington House in Virginia.
