Ursula Granger Hughes
text:
Ursula Granger Hughes (1787-?) was the first woman to have a child in the White House. She was one of 600 people Thomas Jefferson enslaved throughout his lifetime. Ursula spent most of her life on Jefferson's plantation, Monticello, in Charlottesville, Virginia. When she was fourteen, Jefferson ordered her to come to the White House to train under Honoré Julien to be the next head cook in Monticello. Her apprenticeship was short-lived due to her pregnancy with her first child.
