One doesn't have to speculate if one is willing to do some research.
Google the Geography of Slavery, go to advertisements, do a search on
Sandy and you will find one advertised by TJ who ran away. He is
described as a mulatto with a lighter complexion but no mention of
hair color which would have been included if it had been reddish
since these ads functioned rather much like wanted posters and often
included info about hair length, style etc. The site also provides
the info that TJ sold him to one Lewis in the 1770's. There were
also other Sandy's --check the Monticello plantation data base. -
