Harriet Hemings II 
Harriet was born in May 1801 in Monticello,Abemarle Co.,VA. Harriet's father was Thomas Jefferson and her mother was Sarah (Sally) Hemings. Her paternal grandparents were Col. Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph; her maternal grandparents were John Wayles and Elizabeth (Betty) Hemings. She had four brothers and two sisters, named Thomas Corbin, William Beverly, Madison, Eston, Harriet and Thenia. She was the third youngest of the seven children. She had four half-sisters named Patsy, Jane Randolph, Maria and Lucy Elizabeth. She died in DC?.General Notes
Although Harriet was born a slave, she lived in the 'great house' and only did light duties such as errands. She learned how to spin and weave in a small factory on the plantation. She left Monticello at the age of 21 (not legally, but with permission) to live as a white woman for which she easily passed. Edmund Bacon (former Monticello overseer), upon Thomas Jefferson's instructions, paid her stage fare to Philadelphia and gave the girl fifty dollars.
