Like many people, I apparently didn't look deep enough into that quote, however, let's disregard it and look at all the other quotes Jefferson did say. http://eyler.freeservers.com/JeffPers/jefpco29.htm

‘M-m-m,’ said Pippi. ‘How did he look? Did he have blue eyes?’
‘Yes,’ said the girl.
‘Medium large, not too tall and not too short?’
‘Yes,’ said the girl.
‘Black hat and black shoes?’
‘Yes, exactly,’ said the girl eagerly.
