It is my understanding that DNA testing on Sally Hemming’s children indicated that the father was a male member of the Jefferson family. I also understand that Thomas Jefferson’s brother Randolph was quite the active lad. Of course, it’s so easy to try to lay this stuff on our Founding Fathers so that ignorant Lefties can put them down.

Randolph made only four recorded visits to Monticello (in September 1802, September 1805, May 1808, and sometime in 1814); none is related to Sally Hemings's conceptions.

You can believe that Randolph would ride across Virginia to knock up Hemings on unannounced visits...Or using Occams razor that Thomas Jefferson was sharing his bed with his deceased wife's half-sister.

Yep, their obnoxious plan all along has been to discredit the Founding Fathers so that they can, by extension, discredit the Founding Documents.

Randolph was not there when Sally conceived. But Thomas was.

I think most likely is Randolph or one of his five boys or Peter Carr son of Jeffersons sister

Who knows

The only match is Jefferson — each time a different male relative of Jefferson’s is ruled out by improved techniques, yet another is put forward. Beats me why anyone continues to dig in their heels on this one.

Your statement is the extent of the known facts.
