As a Jefferson Family Historian who has researched ALL
Jeaffresons/Jeffersons from Pettistree, Suffolk Co., England since the
late 1500s, I can say that I have found no recording of any black blood
in Thomas Jefferson's family history.

Subject: [VA-HIST] Presidents wth black blood
I have just read an article in the Arcade@Home that claims that Thomas
Jefferson was our first president with black blood. Do any of the
historians on this list have any information on this allegation? The
artcle
also states that Andrew Jackson was the son of an Irish wonan who
married a
black man, that Abraham Lincoln was the illegitimate son of an African
man
and allegedly an Ethiopian woman, that Warren Hardng had black ancestors
on
both sets of parents, and that Calvin Coolidge claimed his mother was
dark
because of mixed Indian ancestry. I have never heard of any of these
before. Is there any truth here?
