TRUTH REVEALED - THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SLAVE MISTRESS Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings' Descendents Alive and Well Charlotte, NC (BlackNews.com) - Between 1802 and 1805, the story of Yellow Tom made news all over the world. U.S. Congressmen, neighbors, and friends all agreed that he, President Thomas Jefferson, had one son that particularly looked just like the President himself. Yellow Tom's name was also Thomas Jefferson and the talk of the town was the question of where he disappeared to sometime between 1802-1805. Exactly 200 years later, in 2004, Thomas Jefferson Clayton II (TJCII), formerly Ronnie R. Clayton, visited Monticello for the first time. TJCII knew in his heart that history was being 'made right' then and there. Thomas decided to hand deliver his Great Grandfathers death certificate, since no one at Monticello would return his calls after this discovery. Thomas had no proof of how his Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather was taken from Virginia and left with an Indian Chief in Kentucky. Thomas thought that if he told other descendents in the Jefferson linage of his existence that they would embrace him and be his ally. But in fact just months earlier, the new Thomas Jefferson Foundation dismissed all notions that President Thomas Jefferson had ever fathered children with his slave mistress Sally Hemings. Even though there was a committee that said otherwise. When TJCII told the new Thomas Jefferson Foundation Staff at Monticello, in a telephone conversation, that his Grandmother told him he had three Grandfathers named Thomas Jefferson, starting with his Grandmother Rena Bell Claytons's own father, Thomas was ridiculed and laughed at. Monticello told Thomas that he needed documents to prove these facts instead of only his Grandmother's death bed confession. The Monticello staff also told him that he "would be the first to show documents with Thomas Jefferson's name on them from the 1800's!" When Thomas finally was able to 'show' them the actual death certificate showing his Great Grandfather's name as Thomas Jefferson Clayton, Thomas could not explain the look on their faces. Thomas later found substantial proof in documents that prove "John and Sara Clayton, migrated to Russell, Kentucky from Albemarle County, Virginia in the spring of 1804, which is where Monticello is located." The 1804 migration from Virginia to Russell, Kentucky was one of the largest in Virginia History. Between 1800 - 1830, 500,000 people migrated from Virginia to Kentucky. John and Sara Clayton are the couple that took President Jefferson's 'son' Yellow Tom, to Russell, Kentucky and left him with the Indian Chief. John and Sara are the parents of Poindexter Clayton who is listed on the 1830 Census in Russell, Kentucky, and listed as the head of household of fourteen, but only lists (12) people which includes six (6) slaves and six (6) whites. It is documented that he actually had fourteen (14) in his household final total. It is speculated that the two extra people were Harriet and Beverly Hemings. Four of the slaves were their children. Harriet left Monticello around 1816, Beverly in 1820. Beverly lived on the Creelsboro River with the Indians and Harriet ended up in Knox County, Indiana after being runaways. Thomas Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather Thomas was dropped off with the Cherokee Indians in 1804. The Indians lived in a cave and TJCII has reason to believe that Sally Hemings' sister's son, Jamie, was with him. It is documented that Jamie ran away in 1804 and that he was three years older than Thomas who was around fourteen (14) or fifteen (15) years old at the time. TJCII says the mystery about President Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings' children is over. TJCII likeness and the solid proof connecting Harriet, Beverly, and Thomas to Russell, Kentucky warrants his family's right to a DNA test. 1850 census proves half of Russell, came from VA. 1850 is the first time the birth places were listed on the census. Four powerful media companies are all connected to the new Thomas Jefferson Foundation and to date have shown no interest in seeking the truth. There have been a lot of powerful and wealthy individuals who have tried to rewrite and control how history is reported, while denying that President Thomas Jefferson ever fathered children with Sally Hemings. TJCII's purpose in releasing this statement is to remind Black Newspapers to "remember who you are and why you came into existence." "You are either a part of the problem or the solution. I need your help to solicit support for my family to get DNA testing done, which is simply a swab on the inside of the mouth," says TJCII. This is all Thomas asks. If all the Black Newspapers combine their effort and help Thomas, then this time next year perhaps 200 years of cover-up will finally be exposed. The resemblance between Thomas Jefferson Clayton II and President Thomas Jefferson is truly amazing. This photo truly is the picture worth a thousand words. "God bless all of you and please do the right thing and support my quest for the absolute truth," concluded Clayton. -END-
I hate to be a cynic,but why do these people beg to be accepted by the Jefferson family, I saw a special on TV where they would not even let the family step on Monticello. We all know dude raped her and wanted nothing to do with the children he sired.
maybe maybe not, but the dude looks like Jefferson, but the fact is the Jefferson family probably won't accept him (damn racists...)
It is confirmed that he is a decendant of Thomas J. VH1 actually mentioned this story and said it's true.
I've just sent this to a well known genealogist whom I know personally. He'll tell me what the deal is. Black Tiger
I talked to TWO genealogists today, and they blew my mind. They have Thomas Jefferson linked up to today through not only what they found but also by DNA. I guess his DNA structure is on line. The thing is they told me most of his lineage OUT OF THEIR HEAD! I talked to them for about 45 minutes, and there are some broken links there that they are still working on. Their advice is for him to have a DNA test and that will confirm it. One of the guys I talked to is a DNA expert and a lot of the stuff was over my head. But he found links to other siblings white and black that matched even six generations deep. I've known these guys for four years, as they worked on my genealogy, and they know exactly where to look and what to find. Amazing. Maybe I'll hook those two up to Charlotte Black News, and they can work in tandem, maybe even get in touch with the guy. One of the genealogists told me a month ago who also works with SABR, which is the Society of American Baseball Research that he found the oldest living Negro League player, living down in St. Petersburg, FL at the age of 110. I guess they have been in contact, and he was offered to go down there, but he doesn't have the money to go. So they are keeping up with correspondence thru he and his family. That's my day today. What a fascinating ride I had. Black Tiger
