Information on George Divers

George Divers
George Divers (ca. 1748-1830)[1] was an Albemarle County land-owner, merchant, and a friend of Thomas Jefferson. The two of them were known to exchange seeds and letters on farming and gardening. Divers married Martha Walker, daughter of Dr. Thomas Walker, and their only son died at a young age. In 1785, Divers bought the Farmington estate, and in 1802, he asked Jefferson to design his house.
