[Answer] 1. Which domestic slave reputedly had Thomas Jefferson's illegitimate children?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. Which domestic slave reputedly had Thomas Jefferson's illegitimate children?"



...1. Beverly Hemings 2. Betty Hemings 3. Harriet Hemings 4. Sally Hemings Sarah 'Sally' Hemings was a slave born around 1773 and owned by Thomas Jefferson "through his wife's inheritance". She had six children of which four grew to adulthood, i.e., Beverly, Harriet, Madison and Eston, and were rumored to resemble President Jefferson. There has been an on-going controversy with regard to the paternity of Ms. Hemings' progeny and, in 1998, a DNA study found a match between the Jefferson lineage and a descendant of Sally Hemings' last son, Eston. Jefferson freed all four of the children as they came of age. Hemings never married but lived to see a grandchild "born in a house which her sons owned".
