Many of us have heard about the history and relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman of African descent working at his Monticello plantation. Historic records and DNA evidence show that Jefferson fathered six children with Hemings, four surviving to adulthood.
What of those children? What became of them?
According to research from The Early Music Access Project (EMAP) in Charlottesville, two of Jefferson and Hemings’ sons, Beverly and Eston, became accomplished fiddlers for Monticello and beyond, spawning a legacy of music throughout our region.
