How important was DNA evidence in the Jefferson-hemings scandal?
I assisted Dr Foster with the Jefferson-Hemings DNA Study and can report that the test did disprove the original claim by James Callender in 1802. There was no Jefferson-Tom Woodson match whatsoever. It did prove that the Carr brothers were not a match with the Hemings descendant of Eston Hemings, only son of Sally Hemings. The Hemings refuse to DNA test William Hemings (son of Madison Hemings) because they "are happy with the current results." I believe him to be fathered by one of the Carr brothers. The Eston Hemings family always claimed descent from "a Jefferson uncle or nephew", meaning Randolph Jefferson, much younger brother of Thomas Jefferson, and his sons, not from Thomas. Dr Foster failed to notify Nature of these other family members with the same DNA; thus a false headline. Herbert Barger, Founder, Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society Another viewpoint: The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of Heming's children has been known as the Jefferson-Hemings controversy. Following renewed historic analysis and a 1998 DNA study that found a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of her last son, Eston Hemings, a consensus among historians supports that the widower Jefferson fathered her son Eston Hemings and likely all her children. Some historians disagree. Neither of these answer the original question but it appears that DNA evidence was very important.
