Best Answer

It is said that each had at least one.

Franklin is said to have an illegitimate son named William whom he and his wife eventually raised together along with their joint children.

Recent genetic testing of the descendants of Sally Hemmings, a slave in the Jefferson household, indicate that the Hemmings descendants are related to Jefferson. Rumors that Jefferson had sexual relations with his slave had existed prior to his death, so many historians and experts take the genetic tests as proof that Jefferson and Hemmings did have joint children. This can't be proven at this point to an absolute certainty as the test only proved the descendants were descended from a member of the Jefferson family, not specifically Thomas Jefferson, but given the past rumors it seems likely that he too fathered at least one of Sally Hemmings' children.
