There are also those who suggest Sally seduced Jefferson. When Sally at 14 accompanied Jefferson's youngest daughter Polly to London on the way to Paris. Abigail Adams wrote Jefferson the older girl was less mature than the 9-year-old and that the captain that transported the pair thought she would be of little value. I think it possible Jefferson's attraction to Sally was partially given her resemblance to Jefferson's dead former wife. They were related after all.
