I find this obsession with White ancestors rather disturbing. It's sad that some black people attach so much more importance and status to the bloodlines of slave-owning rapists than to our African heritage.
Subject: Article on Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson "OUR BLACK ANCESTRY MAY LEAD US BACK TO OUR WHITE ANCESTRY" I know that some of you read that title and said "No, dah!" I've heard all sorts of discussions and arguements about being more Black than White. However, if everyone's ancestry stems back to that original African "Eve" that has that special mitachondrial DNA which passes through the female line, then we are all one people from the very beginning, aren't we? Here is a message that was forwarded from Dereka Smith <Smith@ngsgenealogy.org> on the subject of Mitachondrial DNA: "Since we are talking about DNA, it seems worthwhile to mention that the matrilineal line can be genetically identified using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). To quote Thomas H. Roderick, Ph.D., who is conducting a research project based on mtDNA, "both males and females inherit it, but only females pass it on. This...is now the subject of considerable genetic research... Present research suggests that any person should have the same mtDNA as a relative with the same umbilical ancestor as far as fifteen to twenty generations removed." Dereka Smith, Librarian National Genealogical Society" So now, it's been proven that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least 2 children by Sally Hemings. Why do I say two? Because it is known that Madison and Eston looked alike and that they were brothers, so when you prove Eston as being the son of Thomas Jefferson, you've proven that Madison as well. Here is an letter from my friend, Prof. Emeritus Edgar Love <bj191@lafn.org> from California, who is a descendent of Sally Hemings' first son, Thomas Corbin Woodson. (Date: Monday, 02 November, 1998 9:52 PM) "Dear Saundra, We only won a partial victory. The DNA testing made by Dr. Eugene Foster shows that one of Sally Hemings' son, Eston Hemings, was the son of Thomas Jefferson. The evidence regarding my great great grandfather was inclusive. Sally Hemings, of course, had other children. It was alleged that her son Madison had no male heirs who had children. THERE IS NO DEBATE THAT MADISON AND ESTON WERE BROTHERS. Two of the children disappeared into the white community. We, however, have not given up hope in our oral history that believes Thomas Woodson was the son of Sally Hemings. Today, I was contacted by a journalist on the Kansas City Star, who is writing a story about the DNA. Among other things, he was concerned about the reaction of the descendants of Thomas Woodson to this announcement. I have not yet seen the article in NATURE. A friend is sending me a copy of the article. Recently, the wife of my cousin Robert Cooley requested the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation permit her husband to be buried in the Thomas Jefferson cemetery. She was told that they would give permission, provided that she could prove he was a descendant of Thomas Jefferson. It will be interesting to see if the foundation will permit descendants of Eston Hemings to join their association and be buried in the cemetery. Regards, Edgar" So what does it mean when you connect with your ancestry back to Europe? The same, I believe, if you connect your ancestry back to Africa. If you are "half and half", then you have to deal with it equally. Going along this vein, I reviewed my articles that I wrote in 1994 and 1995, and refreshed my notes on the Royal Ancestry of Sally Hemings' children by Thomas Jefferson. Edgar Love gave me an extensive list of his ancestry and those of Sally Hemings' children. If you believe that you are descended from Sally, please contact me. Here are the results of my findings.
