Ron Chernow Quotes
In Theory, Jefferson Could Have Fathered All Of Sally Hemings's Children. Fawn M. Brodie Has Written, "Jefferson Was Not Only Not 'distant' From Sally Hemings But In The Same House Nine Months Before The Births Of Each Of Her Seven Children And She Conceived No Children When He Was Not There."54 Jefferson Freed Only Two Slaves In His Lifetime And Another Five In His Will, And All Belonged To The Hemings Family, Though He Excluded Sally. On Her Deathbed, Sally Hemings Told Her Son Madison That He And His Siblings Were Jefferson's Children. In 1998, DNA Tests Confirmed That Jefferson (or Some Male In His Family) Had Likely Fathered At Least One Of Sally Hemings's Children, Eston. Reading Between The Lines Of "Phocion," One Surmises That Hamilton Knew All About Sally Hemings, Quite Possibly From Angelica Church.
