The DNA report which was printed in Nature required the linking of historical reference to the lack of a link between the reputed Thomas Jefferson DNA with the actual Thomas Woodson DNA for any further conclusion to be made.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
