Only if this a male overseer descendant. You might have to check the little
x chromosome factor to see if there is the deviant overseer gene. These are
tricky and hard to see or find. But if you look hard enough and depending
upon an election or election year being nearby, I am sure there will be
extra scrutiny for the little gene, not the big x deviant chromosome or the
normal x chromosome. DARN tricky little buggers these deviant x chromosomes.

Would DNA show if Jefferson was raped by his overseer in Sally Hemming's  
slave cabin.  This might explain everything.
