![Granger’s mother Ursula washed and ironed clothes in the wash-house. Granger recollected that his mother was “pastry-cook and washerwoman.” <em>(Image: Mr. Bryan’s washerwoman, Dry River [Jamaica] by William Berryman, 1808–15)</em>](/sites/all/themes/monticello/_ad_gallery/images/stop4.png "n. wash house (Phase II)")
![By 1796, Granger married and worked extra hours in the blacksmith shop, making chain traces for which he earned three pence a pair. Jefferson’s records show that he was the most productive nailer in 1796; he made 507 pounds of nails in 47 days, wasting the least nail rod and earning the equivalent of 85 cents a day for his master. In 1797, Jefferson gave Granger, his wife Iris, and sons Joyce and Squire as a wedding gift to Maria Jefferson and John Wayles Eppes. <em>(Image: Cloutier Grossier [large nail-making], L’Encyclopédie by Denis Diderot and Jean d’Alembert, 1763)</em>](/sites/all/themes/monticello/_ad_gallery/images/stop7.png "j. nailery (Phase II)")
