Henry,

Herb is not too far out to sea....just a typo error of 2 years, the facts
are the same. Taking a closer look again at Section J, Thomas Jefferson
MEMORIAL Foundation Report Study (note the word "memorial" has now been
removed after the foundation sued the present Thomas Jefferson Heritage
Society (www.tjheritage.org), for that title).....wonder who they are now
memorializing?? 

The typo error that Henry Wiencek is pointing out in my original posting as
seen below, that year Jul-Aug 1805 SHOULD read "1807". Henry could have
easily pointed this out to the reader from Section J of the Monticello
Report if he had chosen to do so, OR possibly he does not have a copy. Sorry
for the typo error.

Herb is pretty far out to sea on this one:

"Robert Lewis Jefferson (Randolph's son, was delivering a message, to Mr.
Jefferson in July-Aug 1805, when Sally conceived Eston." 

I guess Eston Hemings set the Guinness record for gestation, since he was
born in May 1808.
