DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Levander by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Levander:
There is a family story that Levander Polk Goff, who was raised by Ambrose (b. ca 1832 TN) and Mary Goff, was an orphan taken in by the Goff family. Ambrose Goff, grandson of the above Ambrose Goff (b. 1766 VA) was single and living in Warren Co., TN in 1850 and married with Polk Goff age 6 in his household in 1860 in Cannon Co., TN. Haplogroup J1 only appears about 2.5% of the time in the ysearch database. Given the Goff orphan story, the high DNA match and the rarity of the DNA haplogroup, it seems plausible that Levander Polk Goff was born a Brock and adopted by the Goff family. Further, the Levander Goff descendant has DYS640=11. This matches the mutation that triangulation of descendant results indicates happened at the birth of Amon Brock, son of Jesse Brock. DYS640 is a very slow-mutating marker. Kit F91801 has been SNP-tested M267+ by FTDNA. SUGGESTION: This analysis would benefit from atDNA testing to narrow the possible candidates for the father of Levander Polk Goff.
