According to the Chronicle of Higher Education , Jordan's collaborator will be legal scholar Annette Gordon-Reed, an untenured professor at New York University's law school, who swept to prominence last year with the publication of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy . Hailed as the definitive account of Jefferson's long-rumored love affair with the slave Sally Hemings, Gordon-Reed's book argues that historians should give credence to the story of Jefferson's mistress and their six children.
Historically, the Hemings family always claimed that this first son was fathered by Jefferson.
Meanwhile, new DNA evidence strongly indicates that Thomas Jefferson did indeed father children by his slave Sally Hemings.
In addition, Hemings was the half-sister of Jefferson's wife.
The more important finding is that the DNA tests prove Jefferson--or any other Jefferson--could not be the father of Hemings' first son, the one who was born after she returned from France with Thomas Jefferson and his family, pregnant at the time.
