Origin

MorrowDNA - Group 5 (George/PA)

~ Tested Line ~ Early Ancestor: this man ~ Matches within 8 generations: John of Hickman Co, KY *
George H. of Paducah, KY * James of Fayette Co, IN (info)

This man is usually listed as a son of “Old Samuel” of Spartanburg, SC, d. 1796. DNA tests of four descendants do not match other relatives of “Old Samuel. DNA does match several other lines with connections to Pennsylvania [See Group 5], but most of those lines are 1-3 generations younger than George.
