Miscellaneous DNA Notes

I, Josiah Beach, and my grandmother "C" matched with an anonymous match "TH" through a 23andMe test. "TH" shares 0.28% DNA across 1 segment with Josiah Beach and 1.16% DNA across 6 segments with "C". Timothy is the second cousin three times removed of Josiah Beach and the second cousin once removed of "C" through their most-recent common ancestors Alfred Anthony Hill and Abigail Olive (Hargis) Hill.

• "TH" is an agnate of Alfred Anthony Hill.
  • The Y-haplogroup of "TH" is T-CTS8862.
    • In the T Haplogroup Project on FTDNA the only member who is a part of T-CTS8862 lists their paternal ancestor name as "Hill King." There are 5 other members who list their paternal ancestor as having the surname "Hill", and they all are a part of T-M70, which T-CTS8862 is a subbranch of.
      • In the Hill DNA Project on FTDNA, the only T haplogroup members are the descendants of Isaac Hill Sr. (1748-1825) d. Warren Co. TN. A single descendant (the previously mentioned descendant of "Hill King") is a part of the T-CTS8862 haplogroup, a subbranch of T-M70, which is the haplogroup that the remaining descendants are a part of.

So, my current thought is that my Hill line may connect to this Hill line.

Based on MyHeritage DNA matches, I seem to have some kind of a connection to Ebenezer Wyatt/Nicey Ann (Izzard) Wyatt. My maternal grandmother has multiple matches through a couple children of their grandson John (through son Lewis), and a match through their daughter Julia (a great great grandchild of her). A son of Johns daughter Julia shares a triangulated 37 cM segment with the descendant of the first mentioned Julia and my grandmother, and a great grandson of Johns daughter Roxie shares a triangulated 22.9 cM segment with the descendant of the first mentioned Julia and my grandmother.
