Biography
Thomas Woodson is a part of US Black heritage.
Oral history of Thomas Woodson's descendents claim that he is the child of Sally Hemmings sired by her owner, President Thomas Jefferson. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation commissioned a study into persistent rumors that Jefferson had multiple children with his slave Sally Hemmings. The foundation has found no documentation that Sally had a son named Thomas and 1998 Y DNA testing of samples collected from both Woodson's and Jefferson's male descendents determined that Woodson is not related to the Jefferson family.[1]
Thomas Woodson left Virginia in the 1820s and moved to Ohio where he became a successful farmer. He and his wife, Jemima, raised eleven children;[2] Lucy, Lewis, George, Delilah, Jemima, Frances, James, John, William, Hannah and Sarah.
