---from "The Domestic Life of Thomas Jefferson" by Sarah N. Randolph:
Of the many friends by whom he was surrounded in his college days Dabney Carr was his favorite; his friendship for him was strengthened by the ties of family connection, on his becomming his brother-in-law as the husband of his sister Martha. As boys, they had loved each other; and when studying together it was their habit to go with their books to the well wooded sides of Monticello, and there pursue their studies beneath the shade of a favorite oak. So much did the two friends become attached to this tree, that it became the subject of a mutual promise, that the one who survived should see that the body of the other was buried at its foot. When young Carr's untimely death occurred Jefferson was away from home, and on his return found that he had been buried at Shadwell. Being mindful of his promise, he had the body disinterre, and removing it, placed it beneath that tree whose branches now bend over such illustrious dead - for that was the origin of the graveyard at Monticello. [Ref: Helm TODD p258]
