Did President William Henry Harrison have a Black son?

Did the 9th President lead a life of scandal?

The truth that's not in history books about our nation is amazing so our views of the past can be off at times. DNA has proven that Thomas Jefferson, our third president, had children with his slave Sally Hemings. This may also be the case with William Henry Harrison the 9th president of the United States,

Harrison is known for having the shortest term. He went into the office at age 68, on March 4, 1841, and died of pneumonia on April 4. He is also well known for another issue that has not been substantiated, yet the rumors persist.

Allegedly, like Thomas Jefferson, Harrison had a fondness for one of his slaves, who was named Dilcia. He is said to have had six children with her and sold 4 of them to other plantations.

There is no record of Dilcia, but her daughter, Madeline, is said to have shared the tale with her own son, who would have been Harrison's great-grandson, Walter White.

American slave owners were often treacherous

American slavery has so many unanswered questions, such as why prominent men could not be faithful to their wives? How could they rape young underage Black girls, impregnate them, then go on with their daily lives, including politics and church duties?

If they believed Africans in America to be beneath them, then why would they desire the women so much? How then could any man in good conscience sell away children that were his own flesh and blood? There is no way to obtain the answers at this point, but the stories as we know them can be shared.

There were two older women on different sides of my family who looked White. It was rumored that their mothers worked as domestics after slavery and were raped by the men they worked for.

If you think such stories are fake, consider that the first Africans in this country had Black skin, yet there are many different hues of African Americans. The only way this could take place was through the mixing of the races.

Walter White

Walter White is allegedly the black great-grandson of the 9th president, and when you look closely at this photo, I believe there is an uncanny resemblance. My husband said I'm looking too hard, and he saw no resemblance.

Readers can decide for themselves, but one thing is true. Walter White does not look like a black man, and neither does he appear biracial. He looks as if he actually could have passed for Caucasian, but he took up the cause of African Americans and became involved with the NAACP, where he was president. He was also an activist for Civil Rights.

White is said to have worked within the black and white worlds and did his best to make life better for everyone. His mother, Madeline White, told him that her mother, Dilcia, was born in 1809 and that William Harrison was her mother's father. Walter's dad is not mentioned, but since his mom had the surname White, she obviously was married.

A DNA test would solve the mystery

Dilcia's husband may have been biracial or a light-skinned black man, considering how white Walter looks. This was evidence that those children had the blood of the plantation owners flowing through them, even though their mothers were married to other slaves.

These children, their mother, step dads, and the plantation owners' wives were all victims of the choices of the men in power, who sometimes had their offspring sold to other plantations.

Is Walter White a descendant of William Henry Harrison? If a DNA sample from Harrison's known descendants could be taken, we would know with certainty.
