DNA tests suggest Jefferson fathered child with slave November 1, 1998 Web posted at: 2:52 a.m. EST (0752 GMT) WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- DNA tests performed on the descendants of former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson and of one of his slaves offer new evidence that the author of the Declaration of Independence fathered a child with the slave, according to a study in the science journal Nature. Genetic analysis indicates that the third president of the United States was the father of the youngest son of his slave Sally Hemings -- Eston Hemings Jefferson, according to the report. "I have found that we have strong genetic evidence, but not absolute proof, that Eston Hemings, who was Sally Hemings' last child, was probably fathered by Thomas Jefferson," said retired pathology professor Dr. Eugene Foster, who led the study. The study validated oral histories passed down by Eston Hemings' descendants, and may lead to a vote of the Monticello Association, which maintains a graveyard on Jefferson's Charlottesville, Virginia, estate, to allow his descendants to be buried there. "I feel wonderful. I feel vindicated," said Julia Westerinen, 64, of Staten Island, New York, Eston Hemings' great great granddaughter. No DNA match to slave's eldest child Many historians had believed that Thomas Woodson, the first son of Sally Hemings, was fathered by Jefferson. So Foster enlisted the help of geneticists at Oxford and Leicester Universities in Britain and Leiden University in the Netherlands to look at the genes of known descendants of Hemings and of Jefferson's family. "We found that Thomas Woodson, who was the ancestor of a large African-American family who believed that Thomas Jefferson was their father, we have found no evidence to support that," Foster said. They compared the DNA of Woodson's descendants to the DNA of people known to have descended from Jefferson's paternal uncle. "There were some genealogists who knew who they were and where they were," Foster said. The DNA did not match the DNA of Jefferson's uncle. John Taylor King, a Woodson descendant and retired president of Huston-Tillotson College in Austin, Texas, said his family, which had a reunion at Monticello in 1992, stands by oral histories that have been passed down from generation to generation. "We contend (Jefferson) was not a philanderer. He was 33 when his wife died, and he fell in love with Martha's (his wife's) half sister (Sally Hemings) and they were together for 36 years. That's part of our family history and we stand by it," he said. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, which owns and operates Monticello, has not ignored the estate's African- American heritage, offering a separate tour of slave quarters there, publishing a brochure documenting the story of Sally Hemings and hosting reunions of slave descendants. "We've always welcomed the descendants of Jefferson's slaves," foundation president Dan Jordan said. 'Almost total, complete similarities' The study is sure to rekindle debate among historians over the seeming hypocrisy of an American patriot who argued that all men were created equal, yet owned slaves. "The most difficult thing about Jefferson was that he was a slave owner," said Annette Gordon-Reed, a New York author whose book on Jefferson and Hemings inspired Foster's research. Foster also traced one living descendant of Eston Hemings, whom he declines to identify. His European colleagues looked at aspects of the Y chromosome, which are passed down virtually unaltered from father to son. The Y chromosome is the male chromosome -- males have an X and a Y chromosome while females have two X chromosomes. "There are almost total, complete similarities," Foster said. Foster said the study also disproved the belief of some historians that the Woodson family had been fathered by Jefferson's nephews, Samuel and Peter Carr, the sons of his sister. "(The idea was) that accounted for the striking physical resemblance of them to Thomas Jefferson," Foster said. "We examined the descendants of Samuel and Peter Carr and find no evidence they had anything to do with the paternity of the child of Sally Hemings," Foster said. Foster, who used to teach pathology at the Tufts University School of Medicine, said he did the study as an "intellectual exercise." Copyright 1998 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.

Sally Hemings (1773-1835) Sally Hemings, whose given name was probably Sarah, was the daughter of Elizabeth (Betty) Hemings and, allegedly, John Wayles, Thomas Jefferson's father-in-law. She became Thomas Jefferson's property as part of his inheritance from the Wayles estate in 1774 and came with her mother to Monticello by 1776. As a child she was probably a "nurse" to Jefferson's daughter Mary (slave girls from the age of six or eight were childminders and assistants to head nurses on southern plantations.) Sally Hemings and Mary Jefferson were living at Eppington -- residence of Mary's aunt and uncle -- in 1787, when Jefferson's long-expressed desire to have his daughter join him in France was carried out. Fourteen-year-old Sally and eight-year-old Mary crossed the Atlantic Ocean to London that summer. They were received by John and Abigail Adams, who wrote that Sally "seems fond of the child and appears good naturd."[1] Jefferson's French butler, Adrien Petit, escorted the two girls from London to Paris. It is not known whether Sally Hemings lived at Jefferson's residence, the Hotel de Langeac, or at the Abbaye de Panthemont, where Martha (Patsy) and Mary (Maria) Jefferson were boarding students. Jefferson, who had expressly asked that someone who had had smallpox or been inoculated against it accompany his daughter to France, soon had Sally inoculated by the famous Dr. Robert Sutton. While in Paris, she undoubtedly received training -- especially in needlework and the care of clothing -- to suit her for her position as lady's maid to Jefferson's daughters. She was occasionally paid a monthly wage of twelve livres (the equivalent of two dollars). Sally Hemings was certainly acting as Martha Jefferson's attendant in the spring of 1789, when Patsy began to "go out" in French society (increased expenditures for clothing for both Patsy and Sally reflect this). When booking accommodations on the Clermont for the return to America, Jefferson asked that Sally's berth be "convenient to that of my daughters."[2] After the family's return to Virginia in 1789, Sally Hemings seems to have remained at Monticello, where she performed the duties of a household servant and lady's maid (Jefferson still referred to her as "Maria's maid" in 1799)[3]. Sally's son Madison recalled that one of her duties was "to take care of [Jefferson's] chamber and wardrobe, look after us children, and do light work such as sewing, &c."[4] There are only two known descriptions of Sally Hemings. The slave Isaac Jefferson remembered that she was "mighty near white. . . very handsome, long straight hair down her back." Jefferson biographer Henry S. Randall recalled Jefferson's grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph describing her as "light colored and decidedly good looking."[5] Sally may have lived in the stone workmen's house (now called the "Weaver's Cottage") from 1790 to 1792, when she -- like her sister Critta -- might have removed to one of the new 12'x14' log cabins farther down Mulberry Row. After the completion of the south depencies, she apparently lived in one of the "servant's rooms" under the south terrace (Thomas J. Randolph pointed it out to Randall many years later).[6] Sally Hemings was never officially freed by Thomas Jefferson. It seems most likely that Jefferson's daughter Martha Randolph gave Sally "her time," a form of unofficial freedom that would enable her to remain in Virginia (the laws at that time required freed slaves to leave the state within a year). Madison Hemings reported that his mother lived in Charlottesville with him and his brother Eston until her death in 1835.[7] According to Jefferson's records, Sally Hemings had four surviving children. Beverly (b. 1798), a carpenter and fiddler, was allowed to leave the plantation in late 1821 or early 1822 and, according to his brother, passed into white society in Washington, D.C. Harriet (b. 1801), a spinner in Jefferson's textile shop, also left Monticello in 1821 or 1822, probably with her brother, and passed for white. Madison Hemings (1805-1878), a carpenter and joiner, was given his freedom in Jefferson's will; he resettled in southern Ohio in 1836, where he worked at his trade and had a farm. Eston Hemings (1808-c1853), also a carpenter, moved to Chillicothe, Ohio, in the 1830s; there he was a well-known professional musician before moving about 1852 to Wisconsin, changing his name and his racial identity. Both Madison and Eston Hemings made known their belief that they were sons of Thomas Jefferson.[8] The descendants of Thomas C. Woodson (1790-1879) carry the strong family tradition that he was the firstborn child of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. Woodson, who does not appear in Jefferson's records, left Greenbrier County, Virginia, for southern Ohio in the early 1820s. He was a successful farmer in Jackson Country. --Lucia C.

NOW THEY'LL EAT THEIR WORDS!! This was printed in 1994 by the Monticello people: The Hemings-Jefferson Controversy: A Brief Account The belief that Thomas Jefferson had a number of children by his slave Sally Hemings has had both a public and a private life. Its public life began in September 1802, when James Thomson Callender, a disappointed office-seeker, published an account of a liaison between the President and his slave in a Virginia newspaper. Callender's story was taken up by partisan newspapers and often repeated during the remainder of Jefferson's presidency, becoming, in John Dos Passo's words, "part of the political mythology of the Jefferson era." It was sustained through the nineteenth century by British critics of American democracy and northern enemies of slavery, and its vitality in the American population at large is revealed in the accounts of European travelers. Running parallel with this public story, which was initiated by someone who had never been to Monticello and perpetuated by those who had never met Jefferson, was a deeply-held private belief. At least two of Sally Hemings's children were reported as saying that Jefferson was their father, and this belief has passed from generation to generation of her descendants to the present day. In an interview in 1873, her son Madison Hemings, who described himself as the son of Jefferson, stated that his mother had become Jefferson's "concubine" in France in the late 1780s. His descendants, some of whom are participants in a current project to record and preserve the oral traditions of the African-American families of Jefferson's Monticello, continue to pass on this belief as an important family truth. Thomas Jefferson himself, in accordance with a lifelong policy, made no public response to attacks on his character, and he apparently never made any explicit reference to this issue. A private letter of 1805 has been interpreted by some historians as a denial of the charge. Sally Hemings left no known account of the matter, except what might be inferred from the recollections of her son Madison. Callender wrote that he heard the story linking the master of Monticello with his slave from some "Virginia Gentlemen," and it seems that there were whispers of such a relationship before his 1802 article. Visitors to Monticello wrote of slaves that were almost white, and Jefferson's grandson, Thomas J. Randolph, later reported that the resemblance of Sally Hemings's children to Jefferson was noticeable. Randolph said, however, that one of Jefferson's nephews had admitted being the father of these children. Jefferson's daughter Martha Randolph always strongly repudiated published versions of the story, and her daughter Ellen, who lived at Monticello until the year before Jefferson died, considered such a relationship "morally impossible." While some historians accept the possibility of a connection, scholars who specialize in Jefferson studies are generally united in finding the case for such a relationship unpersuasive. Only two Jefferson biographers (Fawn Brodie and Page Smith) give it credence. At present the existence of a sexual relationship between Jefferson and Sally Hemings can be neither refuted nor clearly substantiated. For those who would like to explore and evaluate its probability, the attached bibliography contains sources on both sides of the question. A separate biography of Sally Hemings is found in the "Matters of Fact" section. --Lucia C.

The 1850 census of Springcreek >Township cites 74 blacks living in Rossville.

This figure is all the more >significant when compared to white property ownership in Rossville which >totaled only $1,100. The black population remained about equal, at 71, by >the 1860 census. However, the group was somewhat more prosperous, showing >property and cash valued at $3,530. Of the fourteen black property owners, >Shadrack and Gabriel White were the only two 1850 census property owners >still listed.
