Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States, one of the signatories on the Declaration of Independence, and its principal author.

Background
Jefferson Rock, a geological formation in Harpers Ferry, was named as such after Jefferson's visit to the landmark in 1783. The Jefferson Memorial, a 20th-century monument built in Jefferson's honor, is the site of Project Purity.

Jefferson appears as an answer to a pop quiz question in the National Archives' terminals as the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson is also the correct answer to a question in the Codebreaker exam at the Pioneer Scout camp, having been a Founding Father who invented a disk cipher. In their handbook, the Pioneer Scouts cited Thomas Jefferson and Meriwether Lewis as role models.

Appearances
Thomas Jefferson is mentioned in Fallout 3, as well as Fallout 76 and its Wild Appalachia update.
