DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Thomas 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 Thomas:
Thomas S. Gregory and Laura B. Caudle had 2 girls: my grandmother: Minnie Dashwood Gregory and Lena Elizabeth Gregory. After Laura died Thomas married Jeanette Wright and they had 2 boys: Calvin Luther Gregory and Nathan T. Gregory. We placed the headstone on Thomas' grave in Tillman, OK. I suspect Laura is buried in Manchester. I understand that about 1982 a tornado level the Cemetery and many headstones were gone or leveled in cleaning up the cemetery.
