DNA

Y DNA

• William Walker Pettus IV has completed a Y(111). Pettus-324's FTDNA kit #329341 intercepts both [[Pettus-295] Tom R. Pettus]], FTDNA kit #793447 and Robert Pettus FTDNA kit #369442 at John Pettus, Sr. (1736-1799). In view of oral history, and secondary source [1] below, we believe this secures the separate Pettus lines to Pettus-60 married to Winston-714, which we have set as DNA confirmed.

• Regarding other Y(111) intercepts: Tom R. Pettus FTDNA kit #793447 and Robert Pettus FTDNA kit #369442 intercept at Richard Emerson Pettus which we have set as DNA confirmed for both descendants.
