• Notes

  Her mother became pregnant on the slave ship by the captain of the ship, whose name was Captain Hemings. Betty Hemings had 14 children by four different men, according to her grandson, Madison Hemings. Betty Hemings was mentioned in the will of John Wayles, thus providing evidence that she really was his mistress and not merely his slave.
