Editorial Information

As there is currently only one identified document that groups Sarah, Londy, and all of their relatives together (Thomas Jefferson’s Farm Book, page 12) the specifics of their relationship to one another are difficult to identify. DASFAM links them all as potential children to maintain a family grouping.
