Thomas Jefferson is alleged to have fathered Sally Hemings six children. The first of the children died in infancy. Sally Hemings is said to have been the half-sister of Jefferson's deceased wife, Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson. DNA evidence connects the Jefferson line to the Hemings line, but does not conclusively prove that Thomas Jefferson was their father. It is said, however, that because Jeffereson kept Sally Hemings as his concubine, it is unlikely that he was not their father. You need links to follow up on this.
