Got it a little confused, Jefferson is the one who was obsessed with owning his half-sister-in-law. For Washington I'm talking about [https://www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/ona-judge](http://www.Ona.com/ Judge) who Washington was particularly insistent on reclaiming up until he died. He may have said he abhorred slavery, but he didn't seem to particularly practice or actually believe that.
