 Written on September 16, 2008 Summary: Jefferson Family Historian Corrects some of this books erronous misgivings Again Mrs Gordon-Reed has entered the arena with controversal and inaccurate misgivings regarding the Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemings issue. As a participant in the DNA test with Dr. E.A. Foster I can tell the reader that NOTHING proves a Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemings liaison. See www.tjheritage.org for the results of a Scholars Commission Report of 13 prominent scholars who found NO proof of this. I was unable to find this reference in her book. YET, Mrs Gordon-Reed is so careless with such statements as: book cover; "Sally, who bore seven children by Jefferson over the course of their thirty-eight year liaison." She knows this is an inaccurate statement because one of those included is Tom Woodson who was completely eleminated after the DNA test which she discusses later in the text. Many such references such as: "Her grandsons,Madison and Eston Hemings, perhaps under the influence of their father", referring to TJ's daughter, Maria, she states "although we do not know how Sally Hemings felt about her niece." Many such inaccurate references stating that TJ and Sally had a relationship. Annette your agenda is showing! You didn't report that Dr Foster tested a KNOWN carrier of the Jefferson DNA, John Weeks Jefferson, Sally's son Eston, descendant whose family had ALWAYS claimed descent from "a Jefferson uncle", a reference to his much younger brother, Randolph Jefferson. With this action there could be no MISS in a match, and there wasn't, BUT it was NOT that of "Thomas" Jefferson and Eston NEVER claimed that. The study proved that the Eston family were correct in their oral claims. Uncle Randolph and Thomas had the SAME DNA, it was RANDOLPH who fathered Eston and the present day Hemings will NOT approvae a DNA test of a son, William, of Madison Hemings to prove a match to even see if he and Eston had a common father. I am amazed that a retutable historian or lawyer would make such unprovable and inaccurate statements. In her earlier book, she states that there was NO proof that the Eston Hemings descendant tested was a descendant of Thomas Jefferson. So where does she come up with all the proof that Sally mothered TJ's children and report it as fact in a major book? She attempts to justify a revision of Madison Hemings Pike Co. article that he was named for James Madison at the visit of Dolley Madison to Monticello on his birth date. My own research reveals that this is NOT the truth and she does "admit" that Madison must have been inaccurate and off in his thoughts and reporting. If he were inaccurate here can we believe ANYTHING in the article which was a chief research tool of the biased Monticello Study Group. Annette Gordon-Reed also inappropriately reported in her earlier book a letter from Ellen Cooledge to her husband rendering an opposite meaning..........and her book was also a "road map" for the Monticello Study. I recommend reading the book to give the public an idea as to how some people and foundations will rearrange and report unproven statements. Monticello is also guilty of fostering inaccurate references such as possibly ALL of Sally's children were TJs despite the fact that only ONE was tested. Monticello should be called for accounting and a NEW study performed by unbiased researchers DEMANDED. There are many other inaccurate statements in this book.
