Anne,

Sally NEVER told her sons that Thomas Jefferson was their father. Please
cite your proof or is it still hidden under the stones in Fawn Brodie's
yard with the same PROOF that AGR has? It was also Madison who "claimed"
Dolley Madison named him while at Monticello, which is another lie that
AGR tries to rig a "he must have meant to say." It was Madison who
"claimed" that he was descended from TJ (his descendants REFUSE to DNA
test), and it was Eston (DNA tested) who ALWAYS claimed descent from "a
Jefferson uncle", meaning Randolph. Sure that DNA would match, but
Foster refused to inform Nature. No way DNA could prove Thomas.

Lyle,

My personal feeling is that the statement of the mother should stand as 
unequivocable proof of the paternity of a child until or unless it is
proven 
otherwise. Sally told her children who their father was. End of issue.
She 
told Eston a different story from Madison. There were two different
fathers. 
But, Madison said his mother said that Thomas Jefferson was his father,
and 
in absence of any solid proof that this is wrong, that should be the end
of 
the matter.

Is there one shred of evidence that Thomas Jefferson was not the father?
He 
said that Callendar's allegations were wrong except for the one for
which he 
was compelled, for the sake of the honor of the cuckolded husband, to
admit. 
TJ even lied to his daughters prior to being forced to confess, about
his 
behavior, and even in his apology, admitted that he misbehaved once,
when 
young and unmarried, whereas the woman he wronged had said he persisted
over 
10 years, including after he was married and even when in the same
building 
as his wife. So, if we apply Herbert Barger's standards of "liars", I
think 
we can assert that on this issue we cannot accept Jefferson's word that
he 
didn't do it.
