Sally was with Jefferson in Paris.

There may be some source somewhere that claims that but Jefferson says he only took his daughter to Paris with him.

Sally was his daughter’s lady’s maid at that time.

Oldest daughter went with him, Sally and younger daughter arrived later.

Do you have a source for that statement? Maybe he was just speaking of family members, or maybe Hemings arrived later. I don’t think it’s under dispute from either side, though, that Hemings was in France for several years as a teenager, and that a child was conceived there (one not confirmed to have Jefferson DNA).
