Anne,

Madison Hemings NEVER said that his MOTHER told him about him and his
siblings. The rest of this post you can use for your "soap opera."

Herb

the third indictment is, he is the father of these children based solely on 
the statement of Madison Hemings that his mother told him that Tom was his 
father. The rest of the evidence, that he was a philanderer, that he 
disdained women, that he lied about his pursuit of women, that he 
pronounced, as a teenager, that the use of slave women was preferrable to 
masterbation, are all icing on the cake.
