He sure wasn't "honoring" his mother who apparently didn't know exactly whom
was the father of all of her children.

Herbert,
Perhaps Eston was honoring his father.

No, Madison Hemings remained in Pike Co., Ohio. It was his lighter skinned
brother Eston who moved to Wisconsin, passing as white as his descendents
did. Just thinking out loud here: IF he wished to pass as white and draw no
attention WHY did he choose to use the eye catching name, E.H. Jefferson?

Herbert,
Didn't Madison move to Wisconsin where he was known as Madison Jefferson,
and was considered white, but his wife was mixed, so the children, would
have also been so, and as they married other darker people, this descendents
today could be much darker than Madison was.

Anne may I insert a correction and clarification here. All of Sally's
children and their descendants were NOT white or light skinned. Eston's
family, who claimed descent from Randolph, passed as white because they
looked that way, however Madison who claimed TJ as his grandfather, could
not pass for white, remained in the black community in Ohio and his
descendants are black. May we not question this since some are claiming that
Sally had only one father for her children. The Madison descendants of today
REFUSE to DNA test Madison's son's DNA in a grave in Leavenworth, Kansas.
