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.
