Jefferson Hemings controversy As I mentioned in the GA review section I m a little troubled by the current state of this subsection Though we correctly note what the majority view is the minority view is nonetheless given more space and explanation an NPOV problem called undue weight to reflect the current state of the scholarship our emphasis should be the other way around though both views should still be included I ll try to be careful about noting my changes to this section in revising Since it s controversial I d be glad to hear from as many page watchers as possible However there is no written record or oral history of a claim by Hemings that Jefferson fathered any of her children Thomas Jefferson Foundation Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings A Brief Account this seems to have been twisted a bit from its original source and I ve therefore removed it for now There is a mention that SH left no written records of any kind but this is presented neutrally not as evidence either way and certainly not as a direct rebuttal to Madison Hemings s statement re Madison I also swapped out claimed for stated to avoid using weasel wording The main point of the TJF page is that Ten years later TJF and most historians believe that years after his wife s death Thomas Jefferson was the father of the six children of Sally Hemings mentioned in Jefferson s records including Beverly Harriet Madison and Eston Hemings it s misrepresenting the source a bit to use it only to attack Madison s story
