Rose, one other thing. My son and i have done quite a lot on the history of Pres. Thomas JEFFERSON and Sally HEMMINGS. Although Jefferson did "free" the children produced by he and Sally, he never gave her her freedom, as a VA law stated that a freed slave MUST leave the state of VA. It is most interesting to note Jeffereson's four children by Sally would be very close in age to Geaorge FREEMAN. Madison HEMMINGS was born 1805 and George FREEMAN was born abt. 1790.
