Madison Hemingsとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Madison Hemings, born James Madison Hemings (18 January 1805 – 28 November 1877), was the son of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson, United States president. Hemings claimed the connection in his memoir published in 1873. It is supported by the body of historical evidence, as well as 1998 DNA tests demonstrating a match between the Y-chromosome of his brother Eston Hemings and that of the male Jefferson line. Hemings' memoir attracted national and international attention when first published. It is now widely believed that Jefferson had a 38-year relationship with Sally Hemings and fathered her six children, four of whom survived to adulthood.
