The article is fragmented and doesn’t link to it’s sources. The unidentified “Moore” referenced may be CeCe Moore.

That Thomas Jefferson had at least one child by his slave Sally is inferred from the male child passing on his Y chromosome, which has been matched to the male Jefferson line, though that Y chromosome could have come one of President Jefferson’s male descended cousins. Historians conclude that Thomas was indeed the father, though, because Sally traveled with him, indicating a close relationship.
