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. -
