Sally Hemings (c.1773 – 1835) was a quadroon slave who may have had one or more children with Thomas Jefferson. Her mother, Betty Hemings, was initially owned by John Wayles, who died in 1773, leaving mostly all of the Hemings family to his daughter Martha Wayles, wife of Thomas Jefferson. Martha and Sally were probably half-sisters, both fathered by John Wayles.
