“Thomas Jefferson was thirty-three years old when he drafted the Declaration of Independence, in 1776”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia provides Thomas Jefferson's birth date as April 13, 1743, and confirms he was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. A simple calculation (1776 - 1743 = 33) confirms he was 33 years old during the drafting process in 1776.
