Since Jefferson didn't exactly care for Christianity, I'm pretty sure he'd be more than somewhat peeved.

Jefferson would probably renounce his USA citizenship if he read the Book of Mormon

I heareby baptise the Mormon Church in the name of stupidity.

He wasn't baptized.  He wasn't married.
A baptism was done in his favor if he wants to accept it, as well with the eternal marriage ordinance for him and his wife.

This does not make him Mormon.  It gives him the opportunity to accept these ordinances should he decide to while on the other side.

So either he is happy to have it or he could care less.  He is not brooding over it.
