It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Noah by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.

I have copies of Noah's probate papers from Lincoln County, TN. They are a wealth of info about his children. I'd love to share them with you and get the children sorted out better. In the meantime, I will add my ancestor as Noah's son. I feel confident due to DNA matches with descendants of several of Noah's children that this is the right family.
