G2G: Major William Soule-Sowles is the son of Ezekiel and Nannah Soule

Question

I found out that major Wm Soule-Sowles and father Ezekiel Soule's match my Y-DNA. So how could Timothy Soule be William's father?

I'm not an expert on DNA (I'm retagging the question with DNA) but since Timothy and Ezekiel are both descendants of George Soule, their YDNA should be the same and match both Major William's and yours.

Timothy, Ezekiel, George the immigrant, William of the Question

Hi there, Y-DNA  is the parternal line only and is passed from FATHER TO SON. Where as MITOCHONDRIAL DNA is passed through the maternal line and mother to son. I hope this clears this up.
