After reading your reply, I read a great deal more on the subject in the book "The Levy Family and Monticello 1834-1923" Saving Thomas Jefferson's House by Melvin L. Urofsky - 2001. If the Phillips and Levy families are your principle interest at the moment, then your task most probably can be served by contacting, "Mountaintop, The Mountain Shop, Charlottesville, VA.

I have no interest in this or any book seller/shop for that matter. However, I have first hand knowledge that you will not be discouraged in locating either of the two Levy books mentioned -and others as well. This shop is within 200 ft. of Mr. Jefferson's home and both books were in stock, in the Monticello Monograph Series by Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation on 10/5/06.

The one grave site mentioned in my quick reading of the two families is that of Rachel (Phillips) Levy (1769-1839) the mother of Uriah P. Levy (1792-1862). She is buried very close to the Shop on Mulberry Row and some distance again, from the Jefferson family cemetery.
