James Dinsmore

James Dinsmore (c. 1771-1830) was the Irish joiner responsible for most of the elegant woodwork in the Monticello house. Dinsmore worked at Monticello from October 1798 to 1809 creating decorative interior woodwork for the main house and training his assistant, Monticello's enslaved joiner John Hemmings. After his departure from Monticello, Dinsmore went on to work on other buildings in Virginia, including the University of Virginia and James Madison's home, Montpelier. Dinsmore also produced an 1809 inventory for Monticello's Joiner's Shop, which has proven helpful for researchers.[1]

I wish him not to delay in Richmond. I do not know that he will want any pecuniary aid, as he will recieve here what he may think he will have occasion for. but should he need any small matter & ask for it, be so good as to let him have it on my account. ...
