Realistically, any White American whose family was here before 1800 almost certainly had some slave ancestors. Thomas Jefferson's slave concubine, Sally Hemmings, was almost .certainly the daughter or granddaughter of Jefferson's father-in-law. It was a big scandal when one of Sally's descendants escaped and passed as White.

edited for clarity.

Thomas Jefferson's slave concubine, Sally Hemmings, was almost certainly the daughter or granddaughter of Jefferson's legal wife.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I suspect you mean the daughter or granddaughter of his father-in-law?

I'll edit. Thank you
