I have not done a DNA test but I manage the kits for my parents, their siblings, and some uncles and cousins on Ancestry, FTDNA, Gedmatch, and MyHeritage. So if you are looking for a genetic match in a particular line I will try to help. I use DNAPainter.com to track it all.

Some Gedmatch numbers (names omitted for privacy reasons): Blankenship/Narmore lines A130742 (my father), A475142, ZR6635112 (his sisters)

Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree: It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Clay:

Haven't had much chance to communicate, Clay, but I thought I would try to elaborate. I wonder if, as Jimmy W's site would have it, Joshua is not Josiah? He lists the Joshua who married Sarah Ann Pate as a son of Daniel Blankenship rather than Hezekiah. My understanding is that the only way we've got the names of the male children of Hezekiah is through these land lottery records. If this kind of confusion exists, only more Y-DNA testing might straighten it out. Chris Brindley sees himself as an Isham descendant. He's a 3 off match with Clarence B. and a 4 off match with me. 3 off, at the 111 marker level, is related, but doesn't quite make tightly related. This is something that I believe supports the idea that Josiah descends from Hudson of Campbell County, Virginia.

Clay, I would like to hear more about your Chester Co SC Scots Irish ancestors on the G2 page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Scots-Irish_Migration_to_SC_1750_to_1850

You could post a memory if you like. It would encourage others to do so and maybe find family connections. Curry Walker

Gedmatch A130742 does not match me or my sibling so guess we are not likely related, Clay.. too bad. Curry

Hi there,

Check your DNA against mine. I'm A058317 on gedmatch. I'm a descendant of John Narramore. His son Frederick is my 4x great grandfather, then Michael B, my 3rd then Samuel my 2nd then Joseph was my grandfather then George was my dad. Our DNA should have some matches. John Narramore Jr moved to Alabama I think. The census has him there. He could have had children in Alabama. There is no wife for John Jr. But he was in the census in Alabama.

I don't know if I ever replied to you. My line dies at Joseph of Alabama who was born in the 1790's. I have a ton of DNA relations with descendants of Lt. John Narramore of the Revolution. Chronologically Joseph could have been his son. But it seems like his children are all documented. My best theory is Joseph was a nephew of John.

Hi Clay,

This is a courtesy e-mail to see how things are going. Are you enjoying WikiTree so far?

I see that you uploaded a GEDCOM file. Do you have questions about the GEDCOMpare process?

Have the tips in the New Member How-Tos been helpful? Most of us still have some questions after reviewing them.

I'm here to help with issues and questions about how WikiTree works. Click my name to send me a private message or ask in the comment section of my page.

Thanks for volunteering! You are now an active member of the WikiTree community, and can start adding your family.

I suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration. Building your family tree on WikiTree will help you connect with others who have the same ancestors.

Need help? Just ask!
