however, I see no mention of "adultery with an underage black slavegirl."

Minor detail: it was fornication, not adultery. Jefferson's wife had died before his affair with the slave.

Well, true, the relationship (from what history tells us) was not consummated until after Jefferson's wife died. I could be wrong, but I believe his romantic interest in Sally Hemmings began when he was still married. But like I said, it's been a while since I've read on it, and without double checking I'm not sure.
