Great point. If I remember it right Jefferson's parents died when he was young. He had a very close friend when he was in his teens you died as a young man. He and his wife had about 10 kids, all but one daughter died before him. His wife, of course died at a young age. She made him promise he would not re-marry which no doubt caused a few problems.
He had both ups and downs in his political career and died deep in debt. Plus he wrote almost constantly. He liked wine and grew tobacco as well as marijuana. Yes, there were a lot of things that could account for changing moods and opinions.
Stay healthy,
Andy
