What is sally hemmings connection to Thomas Jefferson?
Sally Hemmings is most well-known as being one of Thomas Jefferson's slaves, with whom he had and affair while he was marrid. What is less well-known is that she was a half-sister to Thomas Jefferson's wife. Jefferson's wife's father had had an affair with one of his own black slaves. Sally Hemmings is the child born of that affair.
Was Sally Hemmings George Jefferson's Mulatto daughter?
No. George Jefferson didn't have a daughter. He had a mulatto (or, as George referred to her, a "zebra") daughter-in-law, Jenny (Willis) Jefferson, the wife of his son Lionel. Sally Hemmings is associated with Thomas Jefferson, but not as a daughter. She was a slave owned by him, and DNA tests have shown that at least one of Sally Hemmings' children was fathered by a male in Jefferson's family, though not necessarily Thomas Jefferson himself.

Jefferson never acknowledged any children by Sally Hemmings. There is DNA evidence that indicates that Jefferson or his nephew fathered some children of Sally. I do not think any names are known.
Why in his will did Thomas Jefferson not free Sally Hemings?
Because that was not the deal that they made. Sally was free when she was in France because there was no slavery there. To have her come back with him Thomas Jefferson told Sally that he would free her children at the age of 21. Sally Hemmings was freed 2 years after Thomas Jefferson's death.
