Julia Westerinen of Staten Island, who organized the reunion, said she had thought for years that she was related to Jefferson's white uncle — until scholars discovered that she was a descendant of Eston Hemings. She now identifies herself as black on census forms.

* Sally Hemmings was half black and half white, that would make Easton a quadroon, one fourth black. I'm half Italian and my mother is spanish, black, indian, dutch, french...
