Note: The Drew Family Study uses yDNA results combined with family charts to sort out the various Drew lines, particularly in North America. The above chart is unsourced, so should be considered useful roadmap to Gilman's likely heritage. This chart is from the Drew yDNA study. The theory that Theophilus Drew Sr. is a son of David Drew is not proven, but is based on good circumstantial evidence. The rest of the chart is accurate.
