That is a real stretch of suppositions! Do you have an evidence her babies 
came early or late - were they smaller than usual, or larger than usual? 
What reason do you have for supposing that she did not carry her children to 
full term? Or, are you grasping at straws????

  >6.  All of Heming's recorded pregnancies correspond with times when 
Jefferson was at Monticello

  You have evidence that SH carried all her children to full term?  If not, 
then it is a fair assumption that she did not carry all/any of her 
pregnancies to full term.  If the assumption that TJ fathered SH's 
child(ren) is based solely upon the delivery date of SH's child(dren), then 
the charge against TJ is baseless.
