Edith Hern Fossett

Edith Hern Fossett

Edith Hern Fossett (1787–1854) was an African American chef who for much of her life was a slave for Thomas Jefferson before being freed. Three generations of her family, the Herns, worked in Jefferson's fields, performed domestic and leadership duties, and made tools. Like Hern, they also took care of children. She cared for Harriet Hemings, the daughter of Sally Hemings, at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello plantation when she was a girl.
