DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Archibald 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 Archibald:
Shaw-9345 and Shaw-9275 appear to represent the same person because: Isham (or Ishman) are essentially the same name. There is only a single source for Ishman, and that is the 1880 census that does not contain and Archibald Isom though based on dates he should be there. There is a correction on Ancestry.com where Isham/Ishman's name is corrected to Archibald Isom. While the place of birth for Ishman on the 1880 census is originally written as "NC", that seems to have been struck through and was merely a confusion with the next family on the list.
