Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican.

*Although the party was not called the "Democratic Republicans" until around 1839.

The party was initially called the Republicans (Different party than today's republicans) - but their opponents called them 'Democrats' insultingly. Eventually (after a few slight faction name shifts), the name was changed to "Democratic Republicans."

*Thomas Jefferson was an anti-federalist, then a member of the Opposition (when George Washington was president), and -then- a Republican (Jeffersonian Republican) during the presidency of Madison. Factions at that time in history often changed names and goals (ie, the anti-federalists were against the consolidation of the nation under one government. Obviously, Jefferson helped unify our country and those problems were resolved, so after the constitution was finished, there was no real need for those parties anymore.)
