      Unless she’s your slave concubine, then you’re fine. But you should free your own children.

      Also, Sally Hemings was very likely the daughter of John Wayles, Jefferson’s father-in-law. Which makes Sally Hemings the half-sister of Jefferson’s, by then, dead wife.

      She was also between 14 and 16 when Jefferson took her as a concubine.
