Annette Reed presents supposition as fact. She therefore has very little credibility.

@crusades0917 ,

Have you really read her book, one of the most thoroughly researched books on the subject?You don't sound like one acquainted with historical writing.Here in the UK,where the Jefferson-Hemings story has never been a subject of fascination,the book is held up in history dpts.as a great example of thorough research and scholarship. No such writing is free of interpretation (the demand for interpretation-free historical writing is purely ideological) and her case is well argued.
