It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ross 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 Ross:

Dye-546 and Dye-488 appear to represent the same person because: All represent the same "Elizabeth" Narcissia Duncan who married "William" Ross Dye in 1857, Coffee Co TN.

Duncan-1998 Duncan-2498 Duncan-6079

Elizabeth aka Narcissia was the daughter of Hamilton Louis Duncan She was left land in Coffee Co per father's Probate records

Both represent the same Ross Dye aka William Ross that married the dau of Hamilton Louis Duncan Dye-488 Dye-546

Children may need additional merges ; i.e., Dolly-- aka Darthy Estimated Children Births Coffee County TN 1857-1872 (Census Support 1870-1910 - 1860 Not Located)
