Sally Hemings

Sarah "Sally" Hemings (c. 1773 – 1835) was a multiracial woman enslaved by President Thomas Jefferson. Multiple lines of evidence, including modern DNA analyses, indicate that Jefferson had a long-term sexual relationship with Hemings, and historians now broadly agree that he was the father of her six children. Hemings was a half-sister of Jefferson's wife, Martha Jefferson (née Wayles). Four of Hemings' children survived into adulthood. Hemings died in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1835.
