Talk:Lewis Woodson

Jefferson ancestry ?
The DNA report which was printed in Nature required the linking of historical reference to the lack of a link between the reputed Thomas Jefferson DNA with the actual Thomas Woodson DNA for any further conclusion to be made. It only reported the lack of a link. It did not offer any historical background. -- Madison Hemings was not alive when Thomas lived at Monticello, but one million other Virginians were alive then and none of them denied the newspaper reports that Sally Hemings had a son, who the newspapers named as " Tom." -- Mr. Jefferson noted that he gave his son, noted as "Thomas," gifts on two occasions. Historians have been continuously disturbed by the fact That Mr. Jefferson wrote his own history.


 * The ancestors of today's Jeffersons are Haplogroup K2. The ancestors of the Woodsons are R1b. The two are not related. Jheald (talk) 11:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * People need to accept the facts as above - the Woodsons and Jeffersons are definitely not related. --Parkwells (talk) 19:43, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
