Also this got hyped during the time of Slick Willie’s serial sexual escapades.
As I remember the DNA evidence regarding Jefferson to male members of Jefferson’s family. If I remember this right he had brother - Peter, who had a local rep of dalliance with the servants. Given that the weight of guilt falls on him.
Agreed. And I can’t believe I’m taking up for Jefferson, who was a Unitarian. LOL
That is also my memory, though some claim Peter wasn't there at Monticello when Sally's children were conceived.
And it's worth noting that Sally was Jefferson's late wife's half sister -- same father, different mothers.
Easy to imagine that Jefferson saw some of his beloved wife in Sally.
