Randolph Jefferson (October 1, 1755-September 15, 1815) was a younger brother of Thomas Jefferson. After a DNA study in 1999 showed a family link between patrilineal descendants of one of Sally Hemings's sons and the Jefferson family, some writers suggested that Randolph rather than Thomas was the father of her children. No one in the nineteenth century had linked Randolph Jefferson to any of the Hemings family, and little is recorded about him. See the article on Sally Hemings for detail on the controversy.
