Has it been truly proven that Thomas Jefferson was the father of Sally Hemmings children? The DNA has “A” Jefferson in her children’s family tree. Was it the Jefferson known to frequent the slave quarters and not Thomas Jefferson?

The preponderance of the evidence certainly points to the fact of Thomas Jefferson’s paternity of Sally Hemmings’ children. It is the nature of the scientific method that moral certainty will never be achieved on this issue. I don’t think moral certainty is needed in order to reach practical conclusions derived from the probable fact.
