Talk:Peter Jefferson

"Virginia mulatto"
So, I saw this article recently, about Thomas Jefferson's alleged African-American ancestry: http://www.diversityinc.com/public/1461.cfm. I quote:


 * Jefferson, who served two terms between 1801 and 1809, was described as the "son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father," as stated in Vaughn's findings. Jefferson also was said to have destroyed all documentation attached to his mother, even going to extremes to seize letters written by his mother to other people.

What's the basis of these allegations? Any foundation in truth? None of it seems to be even vaguely hinted at by our article about Peter Jefferson; where is it coming from? --ESP (talk) 02:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Age at Death
He was born on February 29, meaning his age should be 12, not 49. Quintessence62 (talk) 07:20, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Being born on leap years means your age is different. Quintessence62 (talk) 01:05, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
