"Jefferson and Washington had slaves...lots of them."

The difference being that Washington was a sufficiently good plantation manager, and saved enough to allow him to free all his slaves at his death.

Jefferson spent his entire life in debt, and, although he too felt slavery was wrong, couldn't afford the loss of wealth that freeing them would entail.
