I agree. Further discussions should be taken offlist.  



Thanks,

My goodness sakes - ENOUGH ALREADY - like a lot of other list members, my Delete finger is getting blisters and the next button will be the "UNSUBSCRIBE" button.  We all have our own opinions about this and I for one hundred or more of the list members am tired of the diatribe about  it.  Knock it off already !!!!

  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.
