From the Abbeville Institute:

A newspaper in Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1887 and in 1902 stated that Sally Hemings’ last child, slave Eston Hemings, resembled Thomas Jefferson. Just how that resemblance was established is unclear. Eston Hemings died in 1877; Thomas Jefferson, in 1826. So, the newspaper was reporting that one person that had been dead for 10/25 years resembled another that has been dead for 61/86 years. Those in Chillicothe in 1887 and 1902 had never seen Thomas Jefferson. Upon what did they base their claims?

There is more ravelment. The resemblance, we know, was based on a statue of Thomas Jefferson (2) in…

From the Abbeville Institute:

Lynchburg, Virginia, today displays many markers of its Civil War history. There are several signs in and around the city that indicate where Confederate forces were placed in defense of the city. There is a statue of a Confederate infantryman at the top of Monument Terrace. In Riverside Park, what is left of the hull of Marshall, which carried the body of dead Gen.

NAACP threatens legal action if Virginia county gives statue to pro-Confederacy groups

(Virginia Pilot) Edith Turner was born and raised in Mathews County, and for as long as she can remember, a statue honoring Confederate soldiers has sat in the middle of town.
It was never a welcome sight for Turner, president of the Mathews County NAACP. But she didn’t give the monument much thought — until pro-Confederacy groups started decorating the area with flags and sporadically sending armed guards to protect it following nationwide racial unrest in 2020.
“It was very concerning,” she said, adding she feared the situation might turn violent.
Turner said her NAACP branch is urging the Mathews County Board of Supervisors to remove the statue. In turn, pro-Confederacy groups have asked the county to instead give the monument and immediate surrounding land to them. But the Mathews County NAACP is warning the board it might take legal action if the statue is handed off. Citizens, meanwhile, can weigh in during a public hearing slated for Wednesday…

(Owensboro Times) The 7-foot-tall bronze sculpture of a Confederate soldier that previously sat on the Daviess County Courthouse lawn may soon have a new home. At the request of Daviess County Fiscal Court, the City of Owensboro will consider a transfer of a small parcel of property at the Potter’s Field adjacent to Elmwood Cemetery, officials announced Tuesday morning.
This property would be transferred to the County for the purpose of relocating the Confederate statue. The city will consider this request at their meeting at 5 p.m. today (September 6).
