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 Henry:

It appears from the literature that the Henry Gay, who died in Harlan County, KY on 5 November, 1858 was born in 1798, and that Henry was his father.
