Lyle,
You are making the claim for possible, and I am making the claim for
probable. Yes, I know that recessive genes came come back. That is why I
question how Sally's children, with anymore black blood than is assumed with
her partnering with white males, did not come out with at least one or two
considerably darker. With six children, you have a pretty nice-sized sample.
The fact that is didn't happen makes it improbable to me that a slave, who
added to the black parentage of the children, could have fathered such
white-looking children.
It may be possible. But is it probable?
