What Happened to Sally’s Kids?
Out of the six children that Hemings had, she only had four that survived into adulthood: Madison, Eston, Beverely, and Harriet. All, except for Madison, moved up North to get away from the hard ships of living in the south as a mixed person. Madison had written a memoir, where valuable information was held about his life and his siblings. Beverly and Harriet both married white, affluent men in Washington, D.C. Madison and Eston had married a free woman of color in Charlottesville, and Eston changed his last name to Jefferson, in order for people to not forget where he came from.
