Herb,

Co-incidently, as I read your post from earlier today, I got a new book in 
the mail: Jerrerson's Children, The Story of One American Family by Shannon 
Lanier and Jane Feldman with an introduction by Lucian K. Truscott IV.

Inside the book, P 14-15 is a large picture of a very large group of people 
who claim to be ancestors of Martha Jefferson and Sally Hemmings taken May 
15, 1999. and on p 19, there is a photo of a census document which lists 
Madison Hemmings with the notation "This man is the son of Thomas 
Jefferson!"

I'm sure the Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society has an answer and I'm curious 
what can explain away that evidence. All of these black oral histories, and 
a record on a census. Perhaps there is more "evidence" that the Society has 
not had the opportunity to examine.
