• FamilyTreeDNA Surname and Geographical Projects: Lewis. yDNA haplogroup R-M269 based on unknown Zachariah Lewis (d. 1803 - grandfather of this profile) 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 Triangulation. S. Massey. Chromosome 8: 21-31; 60-96. Chromosome 12: 77-104. Chromosome 17: 36-52. Matching: J. Fleury (23andMe) and L. Ortega (GEDmatch A610493), descendants of Zachariah Lewis and Emeline Ramey through different children and grandchildren.
  • The origin of the first segment on chromosome 8 has not been refined further.
  • Part of the second segment on chromosome 8 is shared with D. Garratt (23andMe), a descendant of Emeline Ramey's grandparents John Remy and Margaret Hitchcock, at position 58-72. ** The segment on chromosome 12 is shared by T. Lewis (GEDmatch A016812), descendant of Zachariah Lewis' parents Brackin Lewis and Matilda Preston, at position 76-97.
  • The segment on chromosome 17 is shared by R. Ridenour (GEDmatch M042438, 23andMe, FTDNA), descendant of Zachariah Lewis' paternal grandmother Rachel Bracken, at position 42-52. Note that this region has a density of Finnish matches both at FTDNA and 23andMe. Rachel Bracken's maternal ancestors were Scandinavian/Finnish immigrants to early colonial Delaware.
  • See also F. Lewis GEDmatch A616565), mother of S. Massey, for confirmation of segments in common with L. Ortega being correctly identified as maternal.

• Autosomal DNA Triangulation. F. Lewis (A616565 on GEDmatch, great-grandchild of Brackin Lewis and Matilda Preston via Zachariah) shares a segment on chromosome 11 (64-106) with two other Brackin and Matilda descendants through different lines: A016812 and A109144.

• Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on GEDmatch consisting of GB GEDmatch A758873, F Lewis and LS GEDmatch A157601, who share a 15.2 cM segment on chromosome 10. The most-recent common ancestors shared by all three are Nathaniel Preston and Elizabeth (Vaughn) Preston.

• Paternal and Maternal relationships are both confirmed by an autosomal GEDmatch comparison between F Lewis , GEDmatch kit # A616565, and CM, GEDmatch kit # A936121, (compare kits), her 2nd cousin 1x removed. Their most-recent common ancestors are Bracken Lewis and Matilda Preston, the great grandparents of F Lewis and great great grandparents of CM. Predicted relationship from GEDmatch: 3C group, based on sharing 63.4 cM across 4 segments.
