BIOGRAPHY: Sally Hemings was pregnant with Tom when shereturned home from Paris with Jefferson in 1789. She went in 1787 with his younger daughter in 1787, and returned with the family.

BIOGRAPHY: James Callender, "a scandal-mongering writer and Jefferson enemy", wrote..."It is well known that the man keeps and for many years has kept, as his concubine, one of his slaves. Her name is Sally. The name of her eldest son is Tom. His features are said to bear a striking, though sable resemblance to those of the president himself...By...Sally, our president has had several children. There is not an individual in the neighborhood of Charlottesville who does not believe the story, and not a few who know it" - taken from "Thomas Jefferson's Black and White Decendants Debate His Lineage And Legacy" Ebony magazine July 1993.

BIOGRAPHY: Thomas was sent away after the article broke, however, to live with a white family whose surname was Woodson. Because he was angry with Jefferson at having been banished from Monticello, he took the Woodson name. Thomas Woodson grew up to be a land-owner and he bought the freedom of Jemima Grant and their eleven children, including Frances Woodson. He and his sons fought against slavery and operated depots on the underground railroad.
