Jim Galloway wrote an interesting article on Stephens last year that considered claims that he fathered at least one child by a slave who carried his name and has living descendants. As he wrote, that wouldn’t be unprecedented conduct for a slave owner–consider the Jefferson/Hemings line–but it would be great contrast to his later public views. I hope the family gets their dna tested.
