E Ray & John Ellison

This article about NPE is interesting. Seems to apply to E Ray’s possible Jones Y-DNA; and to John Ellison’s possible Stultz Y-DNA. In both cases the chain was probably broken at the family-point where there was a daughter born many years before the son who was supposed to be her brother and supposed to be the direct line.

(WHITE CO TN AUSTIN FAMILY) In E Ray Austin’s case:

E Ray⁶Austin ( Luther⁵, Thaddeus⁴, Elanza³, James², Nat¹).  E Ray has a broken chain at Elanza (b. 1855). Instead of Elanza’s being a son of James, he is probably a son of James’ daughter Rachel (b. ~1833).  Rachel and a man named Jones had this son Elanza, out of wedlock. And Elanza was taken into James’ family and reported as a son in the census reports instead of as a grandson.

(SOUTHSIDE VA AUSTIN FAMILY) In John Ellison Austin’s case:

John Ellison⁶Austin ( E. Woodrow⁵, Jacob E⁴, William³, Archibald Jr², Archibald Sr¹).  John Ellison has a broken chain at Jacob E (b. 1883). Instead of Jacob E’s being a son of William, he is probably a son of William’s daughter Sara (b. 1865).  Sara and a man probably named Stultz had  this son Jacob E, out of wedlock. And Jacob E was taken into William’s family and reported as a son in the census reports instead of as a grandson.

So I have given myself an assignment to find E Ray’s Jones line and to find John Ellison’s Stultz line.  It is a very tough assignment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
