Chef
James Hemings
Charles City County, Virginia | 1719-1818
James was the one that brought mac and cheese and ice cream to America from France, but he was not credited because Jefferson took the credit from him. At the age of nine, he was sent to Monticello to work as a slave to then go to France to become a chef. His family was also the biggest in Monticello (at the time).
