So identified on a Pinterest site. That a person could be mostly Caucasion (be it appearance or DNA) and still be a slave is more mystifying to us presently than it was back in the day. Sally's father was Thomas Jefferson's wife's father too. Sally may have also been "mulatto" - biracial. I notice that there are a lot of people making YouTube videos of the results of their DNA ancestry tests. I wonder if these informational moments are actually backed by one of the DNA test companies. Update August 2021. I learned a slave was a slave based mostly on the mother's status.
