It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Joshua:
Roberts-33647 and Roberts-12277 appear to represent the same person because: This didn't come up when I created Roberts-33647 because of discretpancy in birth dates. Roberts-12277 doesn't bear much in the way of sources. The FAG link on Roberts-33647 shows the tombstone with death date and age at death, so abt 1795 is the best choice.
