Correspondence with E Ray

I wanted to make one other point: In regard to the DNA study in hand, all the E haplogroup Austins of White Co, who took the test,  are not descendants of John. Three are descendants of Nat; and one is a descendant of William.

So what?  That means we do not have DNA proof that John is a brother.  I have a wild but possible theory that your Elanza descends from John… and that John is not a brother. John did arrive in White co. abt. 8 years before Nat. Wonder why?

As soon as a known descendant of John takes the Y-DNA test we will know for sure.  He will most likely be E haplogroup; but he could end up I haplogroup like you showing my theory to be correct.

Of course, I have a bad track record of guesses about the White Co. Austins.

I sure am glad you are staying on top of this – your theories so far make a lot of sense and I don’t believe that BEFORE this DNA testing, anyone I know of ever thought “we” descended from anyone but from Nathaniel Austin…know what I mean?

I hope you will keep me informed on anything you come up with, I agree with what you said and it is possible that I descend from John….can’t wait to see someone from John’s side show up on the DNA Chart.  Do you keep tabs on that List?
Appreciate you!
