When Thomas Jefferson's first wife, Martha Jefferson died, he promised he would never remarry, which he technically kept. However, he did have more children with a mixed woman. Even if he wanted to it would have been illegal for him to marry her because interracial marriages were against the law in this time period. The ironic thing is the children he bore with the woman were his slaves
