It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with James:

disconnect the wife here, same profile Little-1879 is wife of Ayres-29. Here she shows as mother and wife...

Ayres-42 and Ayers-467 appear to represent the same person because: I believe this is a duplicate. The last name was misspelled and it should be Ayers.
posted by Cindy (Ramsey) Barnett
Hannah (Little) Ayres was merged into this profile. If anyone has a source for her maiden name as Little, I would greatly appreciate the information.

I know her first name was Hannah but would like a source for her maiden name as Little. Pat Dobson
