I would normally agree.  However, this topic has been argued at length 
previously at this list (moreso at VA-HIST) where absolutely no evidence for 
claiming Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemmings is to be 
found.  What is so terrible are the falsehoods about TJ and SH being said so 
many times that the general public is now taking such as truth.  For example 
is Brent Tarter's book-talk posting that claims:
"The Hemingses of Monticello tells more than the story of Sally Hemings' 
life with Jefferson and their children."
What a wrongful inclusion.
