Clarification - to 'Father of His Country, Only' in Aug. 9, 1999 issue - Correction Notice
National Review, August 30, 1999
Richard Brookhiser reports that the ancestry of Thomas Jefferson's putative slave descendants is even more complicated than the picture presented in his "Father of His Country, Only" (Aug. 9). DNA tests showed that Jefferson could not have been the father of Thomas Woodson, who was supposed to have been Sally Hemings's oldest child.
But in all likelihood, Hemings was not his mother either. Woodson's descendants were told that he was produced by the famous couple-an instance of the chanciness of unsupported oral tradition.
