DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Lewis 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 Lewis:
I believe Louis to be my 8th generation grandfather on my mothers side. His son would be Deveroix Pulley 1779, Deveroix son would be John Pulley 1803, Johns son would be Permenius Brisco 1839, his son would be John Adolphus 1868, his son is my grandfather Delmar 1912.
Well, better late than never - I just saw this comment! Hello cousin! You are right, this is the correct Louis/Lewis Pulley. I am descended from Devarix's son Lorenzo Dow Pulley > Carlos Pulley>Damaris Pulley>Kate Smiley Matson,
