I do want to take this opportunity to be autistic here and point out that there's really no proof that Thomas Jefferson ever had sex with Sally Hemmings or any of his slaves. It's one of those lefty narratives that gets repeated until it becomes canon like Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman.
It is proven that Hemmings' son was descended from the Jefferson line, so one of them was the father. The most likely candidate is Thomas's brother Randolph, who was known for getting drunk with the slaves.

Also worth noting that Hemmings was 3/4ths white and probably passed for completely white.
