did not expect that he would pull the same idiotic move like Alexander Hamilton did by publishing it in the newspaper.Gentlemen did not do that of course his friends defended him that is how it was done. eyler.freeservers.com/JeffPers/jefpnotg.htm This last result of the DNA tests has devastating results for those who claim that Thomas Jefferson began a 38-year affair with Sally Hemings in 1787 when Sally accompanied his daughter to Paris. According to Annette Gordon-Reed in her recent book, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy, Sally was pregnant with her son, Thomas (Hemings) Woodson, when she returned with Jefferson and his daughters in 1789, and the child was born shortly after her arrival back in the States. But the DNA tests prove conclusively that this child was NOT fathered by Jefferson! Moreover, according to Ms. Gordon-Reed, Sally did not want to leave Paris and return to the U. S. with Jefferson! In the article reporting on the DNA test results from the Nov. 5 issue of the journal Nature, page 27, is the following statement: "Four of the five male-line descendants of Thomas Woodson shared a haplotype (with one MSY1 variant) that was not similar to the Y chromosome of Field Jefferson but was characteristic of Europeans. The fifth Woodson descendant had an entirely different haplotype, most often seen in sub-Saharan Africans, which indicates illegitimacy in the line after individual W42 [i.e., after the 4th generation]." Therefore, the DNA tests do indeed prove conclusively that Jefferson did NOT father Sally's child born after her return from France, and that this child's Y chromosome was unquestionably of the EUROPEAN, not the African variety. In fact, the DNA tests prove this more surely than they do that Sally's son, Eston, was fathered by Thomas Jefferson, since any of about twelve or more descendants of Field Jefferson could have been the father and have provided Eston with the Jeffersonian Y chromosome. It takes very little insight to figure out from these facts what was actually going on. Having a child by another man, and resisting the return to the U.S. with one's reputed "lover," is hardly suggestive of the beginning of a love affair. Rather, it is reasonable to infer from this evidence that Sally had an affair in France, but not with Thomas Jefferson. She had an affair with someone who lived there, and she wanted to stay there with her new-found lover. It should also be noted that after Sally returned to Monticello and gave birth to her first child, there was a period of more than five years before she gave birth to her second child. If, indeed, she and Thomas Jefferson were having a love affair that began in France, this absence of births at the beginning of the alleged affair, and a recommencement at a much later date, would be quite puzzling and without explanation. Rather than an affair with Jefferson, it suggests that the affair was with someone in France that Sally had left behind when she returned to the United States, and that the absence of births was because her lover was no longer present. According to Gordon-Reed, Thomas Jefferson was only able to persuade Sally to return with him by promising her that her child would be granted freedom when the child reached age twenty-one. This evidence, and its clear implications that there was no "affair" between Sally and TJ, has been completely ignored. William Safire even made the ridiculous statement in a syndicated column that the much maligned James Callender, the muck-raker who started the accusations in 1802, was wrong then, but was actually right, because DNA indicates Jefferson was the father of a child born six years later! Without a doubt, Thomas Jefferson returning from France with a young slave girl who was pregnant, raised a lot of eyebrows. And, no doubt, these suspicions and the gossip they generated were the source of the Callender accusations. But the recent DNA evidence has demonstrated that these accusations were false. Jefferson, however, did not have the benefit of DNA tests, and almost never attempted to defend himself against gossip at any time -- certainly not in the public press. As a result, the accusations gained some level of currency, and have persisted to this day. The "Jefferson-Hemming Matter" tells us as surely as any disclosure that no small amount of what a good many who pass for "scholars" inflict on the public is not history at all but merely the most transparent political propaganda.I see that you are using your Saul Alanski text book.Calling someone racist or implying such: Is the Progressive 'get out of logic free card. I love history but it has to be based on facts not fiction or speculation. You can not claim paternity on a man who's DNA you do not have. There is no evidence.Period. For those of you who have not studied French culture at the time of Jefferson the ideas of courtly love and flirting outrageously was something everyone just did even the rotund Franklin flirted. Are you also implying there should be some type of "white guilt" associated with the slave trade of the 1600- 1800? I see no reason for it MY ancestors were involved in that trade as slaves as were many other AMERICANS.If you have IRISH ancestry you were probably in a British slave ship. The history they NEVER teach you is that only 6% of the slaves brought to America were black 2/3 of the labor were white and the slaves ships of Britain were built not for black slaves but for ridding the Isles of the accursed Irish. Most of the black slave trade went to south America and to the West Indies for the sugar trade of the Portuguese,Spanish,French and only later the Brits.See BBC SCOTLAND video Barbado'ed www.veoh.com/watch/v1835859553zDf2sP?h1=Barbado%27ed%3A+Scotland%27s+Sugar+Slaves Before there was a Botany Bay in Australia there was Jamestown in Virginia.

Maria, The sequence starts in the mid-1800s with Eston Hemings Jefferson stating that was Jefferson's son after moving to Wisconsin. Madison Hemings also made the claims. It's later -- in the 1940s -- that his descendants start saying they were descended from an uncle. Chad April 8, 2015 - 4:57pm Log in or register to post comments .
Maria's picture
Isn't the sequence of Eston's family history reversed in your last bullet? Your last bullet states: "Eston Hemings's descendants, who have lived as whites, have passed down a family history of being related to Thomas Jefferson. In the 1940s, family members changed this history to state that an uncle of Jefferson's, rather than Jefferson himself, was their ancestor." Didn't the original, contemporaneous oral history state that the family had descended from an uncle or relative of Thomas Jefferson, and not Thomas Jefferson himself

The Duvall Story
The Duvall family first came to the Annapolis area from France circa 1655. While family lore recites that Mareen Duvall “the Emigrant” came to the colony as an indentured servant, public records show that Mareen Duvall, Esquire acquired his first tract of land by patent from Lord Baltimore in 1659, originally called "Laval" and now located in Davidsonville, Maryland.
One hundred years later, Judge Gabriel Duvall (1752-1844), a close friend of Thomas Jefferson, served as Comptroller of the United States Treasury and later as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, appointed by James Madison and serving from 1811 to 1835.
Jumping ahead another century and a half, C. Osborne Duvall, Lindsey Duvall’s father, served Anne Arundel County as its States Attorney, participating in the original case which developed into the landmark 1963 Supreme Court decision of Brady v. Maryland.
The Duvall name was present at the beginning of Anne Arundel County and continues today. Lindsey Warren Duvall lives and works within a dozen miles of where Mareen Duvall first set foot in Anne Arundel County more than 350 years ago.
While the achievements of his antecedents are noteworthy, one of Mr. Duvall’s favorite sayings is that “It’s better to be a good ancestor than to have them.” That said, clients of the Duvall Law Firm enjoy legal representation by an attorney who possesses a keen sense of family, stability, and the understanding of what it takes to lay a foundation for those who come after.
Attorney Lindsey Warren Duvall assists clients throughout Anne Arundel County and Prince Georges County, including but not limited to Annapolis, Davidsonville, Gambrills, Crofton, Severna Park, Crownsville, South River, Millersville, Waugh Chapel, Odenton, Piney Orchard, Severn, Upper Marlboro, Bowie, Glenndale, Galesville, Gibson Island, Arundel Mills, Columbia, Edgewater, Deale, Harwood, Lothian, Churchton, Shady Side, Cape St. Claire, Broadneck, Arnold, Jessup, Laurel, Linthicum, Mitchellville, Pasadena, and Lake Shore, MD.

The Gaucho Gisele Bündchen will represent the girl from Ipanema at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, at the Maracanã, to the sound of a piano in the song will be performed by Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes. Only the melody, without anyone singing to share attention: the star is Gisele, that girl will do a catwalk on which appears a projection by simulating the Boardwalk of Ipanema. Who will perform the song at the piano will be Paulo Jobim son of Tom.
