 I really don't understand why it is not believable that Jefferson could of or did father children by Sally. I don't get it. What is the problem if a white man (TJ) bore children by his enslaved help, it has happened for hundreds of years repeatedly. It happens now. You and others make me feel is it more a race issue. I admire TJ for things he has accomplished and contributed to this country, I love his legacy, but I only know of one perfect man. When I am researching for ancestors I don't know if I am going to find a white or person of color, which ever I am proud and not trying to hide anything. It is what it is....

Poldi,

In informing the public of the inner workings of this vast agenda
against Mr. Jefferson I do not pretend to know what Mr. Jefferson's
thoughts were or the climate around Monticello. I do know that his
brother, Randolph, several years younger, was between wives during the
period of all of Sally's children. When her last, Eston was born
Randolph soon married a 2nd time. I don't believe she was being "passed
around" as you suggest but she "may" have fit a certain arranged
category of which Randolph or TJ found necessary to convey to the
public. It was a private matter and TJ didn't react to the much adverse
lies of the time. I too admire TJ as you do and that is why I spend so
much time trying to inform the public of the lies and misstatements
being spread to suit political correctness and historical revisionism.
Randolph's blood, of which Eston's descendant carried, according to
family lore, did match the Jefferson donors DNA. Please read
www.tjheritage.org and www.angelfire.com/va/TJTruth for full
particulars.

Being an admirer of T.J., I find that suggesting another Jefferson male
fathered Sally's children dishonoring T.J.'s memory.

Sally was T.J's  Slave and T.J's "Property" and under his control
24-hours a
day.

As the DNA has proved a Jefferson paternity of Sally's child or
children,
the idea that T. J. passed Sally around to the men visiting his home is
a
blight upon his memory and morality.

Passing Sally around would have made T. J. a whore-monger or pander at
best.


T. J. was not a saint---only another mortal with mortal inclinations.

I wish this war would end.

Poldi
