Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Is anyone aware of a source for the claim that Tarleton was the son of Daniel Blevins and Sarah Belcher, other than Leslie Blevins' book? His book cites no source for the claim and it appears to be entirely speculative. I plan to detach the relationship unless anyone is aware of a reliable source for the claim.
