 == Jefferson-Hemings controversy == 

 As I mentioned in the GA review section, I'm a little troubled by the current state of this subsection. Though we correctly note what the majority view is, the minority view is nonetheless given more space and explanation, an NPOV problem called undue weight; to reflect the current state of the scholarship, our emphasis should be the other way around (though both views should still be included). 

 I'll try to be careful about noting my changes to this section in revising. Since it's controversial, I'd be glad to hear from as many page-watchers as possible. 

 *""However, there is no written record or oral history of a claim by Hemings that Jefferson fathered any of her children.Thomas Jefferson Foundation: ""Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: A Brief Account""""  this seems to have been twisted a bit from its original source, and I've therefore removed it for now. There is a mention that SH left no written records of any kind, but this is presented neutrally: not as evidence either way, and certainly not as a direct rebuttal to Madison Hemings's statement. (re: Madison, I also swapped out ""claimed"" for ""stated"" to avoid using weasel wording.  
 The main point of the TJF page is that ""Ten years later, TJF and most historians believe that, years after his wife’s death, Thomas Jefferson was the father of the six children of Sally Hemings mentioned in Jefferson's records, including Beverly, Harriet, Madison, and Eston Hemings""; it's misrepresenting the source a bit to use it only to attack Madison's story    "
