Thanks for buying my book. It has a section about the
Hemings/Jefferson question, in which I address the possibility that
TJ's brother, Randolph Jefferson, was the father of Eston Hemings. I
read the works by Robert Turner, Cynthia Burton, the McMurrys, and
others, and I think I give fair consideration to the objections they
raise.
