Jefferson ancestry ?

[edit]

The DNA report which was printed in Nature required the linking of historical reference to the lack of a link between the reputed Thomas Jefferson DNA with the actual Thomas Woodson DNA for any further conclusion to be made. It only reported the lack of a link. It did not offer any historical background. -- Madison Hemings was not alive when Thomas lived at Monticello, but one million other Virginians were alive then and none of them denied the newspaper reports that Sally Hemings had a son, who the newspapers named as " Tom." -- Mr. Jefferson noted that he gave his son, noted as "Thomas," gifts on two occasions. Historians have been continuously disturbed by the fact That Mr. Jefferson wrote his own history.

The ancestors of today's Jeffersons are Haplogroup K2. The ancestors of the Woodsons are R1b. The two are not related. Jheald (talk) 11:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
People need to accept the facts as above - the Woodsons and Jeffersons are definitely not related. --Parkwells (talk) 19:43, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

biased article

[edit]

Did a bitter Woodson descendant write this biography? 68.172.38.134 (talk) 20:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article has issues, thanks for pointing it out. For example the completely inappropriate diatribe:

The Jefferson-Hemings controversy Wikipedia page and the Sally Hemings Wikipedia page are dominated, not as a matter of design or intent, on the part of the Wikipedia organization, but as a matter of practice and reality, by individuals who have the same mindset as Mississippi-born Pulitzer-prize winning historian Dumas Malone,

I think was added by @Walton4909 here.
Walton4909's edits dominate the article. I think a full revert to the pre-Walton4909 version could be appropriate. I will invite them to discuss here by posting on their talk page. Commander Keane (talk) 01:26, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
