DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Daniel 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 Daniel:
There are two sons named James listed here as sons of Daniel. I believe that James McNair Sr b. 1747 is the son of Daniel, and that James Price McNair b 1773 is the son of James Sr.
According to my binder, Daniel married Hannah, then the next generation James married Martha, no second marriages. Daniel may possibly have been a much much younger brother of the Ireland John/Samuel/David group 1690.
