Craig,
I understand your and other reader's confusion in this controversy and will
try to be brief. Go to www.tjheritage.org and www.jeffersondna.com for full
details.
1st Dr Foster, whom I assisted, conducted the DNA test on a KNOWN carrier of
the Jefferson DNA, whose Eston family had ALWAYS claimed descent from "a
Jefferson uncle" meaning Randolph, younger brother of TJ. I told him that
information MUST be given to Nature.......HE DID NOT....therefore they only
knew of Thomas. YES, I told him there would be a match, and there was. They
wrote a false headline because they knew NOTHING about Randolph or sons.
2nd Dr Foster turned over the UNPROVEN and DEFECTIVE results to Monticello
for their analysis, after holding them for five months. Monticello assigned
an oral African-American Chairman of that Study Group which "HID UNDER THE
RUG" a critical Minority Report by an employee, Dr. Ken Wallenborn. Dan
Jordan, Monticello President, at the time, took a biased and one sided
report and accepted it as fact and they hold to this unbelievable situation
to this date. Imagine that stance: one and possibly ALL of Sally's children
fathered by TJ. Preposterous......ONLY ONE Hemings was tested.
This latest "get TJ" was launched at UVA by Prof. Peter Onuf in a lengthy
symposium on slavery in their publication, Jefferson Legacies in which it is
admitted that "things are changing." I must say they are, The Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Foundation was renamed Thomas Jefferson
Foundation.....dropping "Memorial." May we all not wonder just who they are
memorializing?
There is no problem with the science, the other soap opera "feely good fuzzy
stuff" and political correctness we read on this and other pages is the
problem. NOTHING proves TJ guilty of fathering ANY of Sally's kids. It is a
large agenda to "GET" TJ and they use false and contrived DNA false
reporting to "pile on."

Subject: [VA-HIST] A new question re TJ/SH
In all of this bi-annual blatheron, nobody asks the obvious. Which
is this:
If this courtesan/whore/slave/rape victim, whatever she was, was
wandering around Monticello or Paris, and pregnant not once but EIGHT
times, did nobody notice this? Did no one ask "Who's the Daddy?"
And of all people, did TJ make not one single note of it? He did
take her to Paris. Let' get to the bottom of this.
