Anne may I insert a correction and clarification here. All of Sally's
children and their descendants were NOT white or light skinned. Eston's
family, who claimed descent from Randolph,  passed as white because they
looked that way, however Madison who claimed TJ as his grandfather, could
not pass for white, remained in the black community in Ohio and his
descendants are black. May we not question this since some are claiming that
Sally had only one father for her children. The Madison descendants of today
REFUSE to DNA test Madison's son's DNA in a grave in Leavenworth, Kansas.
