• FamilyTreeDNA Surname and Geographical Projects: Lewis. yDNA haplogroup R-M269 based on unknown Zachariah Lewis (d. 1803) descendant who tested to 111 markers. Note that Zachariah Lewis descendants are grouped with David Lewis (d. 1773, m. Anne Beeson) of Guilford County and not with many of the other Lewis families that have been theorized over the years. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/LEWISSurnameDNAProject/default.aspx?section=ycolorized

• Autosomal DNA: Close Relationships / Triangulation. Descendants of Zachariah Lewis and Emeline Ramey on three different lines (one through son Gilbert, two through different children of Moses) not only share a substantial amount of DNA, but their shared segments are triangulated. (See A616565 and A610493 on GEDmatch; the third descendant tested at 23andMe and prefers anonymity.) These segments are in turn shared with descendants of descendants of Zachariah and Emeline's parents across GEDmatch/FTDNA/23andMe.
