"The claim that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings, a slave at Monticello, entered the public arena during Jefferson's first term as president, and it has remained a subject of discussion and disagreement for nearly two centuries." There is a lot of debate both from DNA evidence and historical records as to whether he really fathered Sally's children, but no definitive answers. This is taken from the website below which is the official website of Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.
