Notes
a. Note:   ay the software I use works is that if a man and a woman have a child together, then they were married. I have selected the date of 6 April 1789 for the "marriage", because there is evidence that this is the date that Sally and Tommy became sweethearts. Thomas Jefferson's account book shows that on April 6, 1789 he spent 96 francs on "clothes for Sally". Then, on April 16, 1789, he spent 72 francs on more clothes for Sally. Then, on April 26, 1789 he spent 23 francs on "making clothes for servants". Finally, on May 25, 1789, he "paid making clothes for Sally 25 francs." This is the only time before or after that the records of Thomas Jefferson show him buying anything at all for Sally or for any of his other slaves. Thus, it appears more than likely that it was in April, 1789 that he started having relations with her. Also, the entire volume of his letters is missing for the year 1789.
