I am inclined to believe they did have a child together. Would not have been unusual anyway. Sally Hemmings herself was half English and half African. Anyway, Sally Hemmings had a choice. When she was in Paris, under French law any slave that touched French soil was free. She could have stay, but she went back with Jefferson. Besides, she being his dead wife's half sister, she probably LOOKED like her.

I just want to know what the New York Slimes hopes to achieve from a non-event 200 years ago.

I've wondered if the "New York Slimes" staff are merely lazy or actually afraid of reality. They seem to avoid any reference to it, certainly.
