I hate history erasers.

Especially ones wearing R jerseys.

Nimrata Randhawa started this.

I wish someone would write “finis” to the idea that Jefferson fathered a child by Sally Hemmings. Unfortunately, that has become a “political” truth, which cannot now be denied, regardless of its probable falseness.

I hadn’t read any of that Thomas Jefferson really wasn’t the father of Sally Hemings youngest son stuff before.

Liberals aren’t rational enough to understand this.

I would sort of like to know if any of mine were in the Revolution. A good chance but don’t know.

Three of my Great Grandfathers fought for the Confederacy and I am proud of them. The Forth was a Methodist circuit rider who spent at least two years at a Confederate camp.

The study which supposedly showed that Jefferson fathered Sally Hemings' children was published just before the 1998 midterm election--apparently the publication date was moved up. Of course that was right in the middle of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. As I recall, one of the descendants had DNA that suggested descent from one of Jefferson's nephews surnamed Carr (who had been suspected by Jefferson relatives as possibly fathering one or more of Sally's children).

Besides the DNA article, there was Fawn Brodie's book about Jefferson, and much earlier, an 1873 newspaper article in Ohio based on information from Madison Hemings, one of Sally's children, in which Madison alleged that Jefferson was his father. Also, the 1870 census (of course not made public until much later) shows that the census taker wrote next to Madison Hemings' name "This man is the son of Thomas Jefferson" (obviously having been told that by Madison).
