His kit number, in the name of William Allen, is 237184. The results showed that he was in the R1b1a2a1a1b haplogroup. He was a 37 marker match to the following : Samual Doyle Allen Jr (Ancestor Ephraim P. Allen, b. 1820 North Carolina) Ronald Lee Allen (Ancestor Edmond Allen) Henry Walton Allen (Ancestor not indicated) Jerome Brady (Ancestor Richard Brady b. ca. 1805 Co. Caven or Claire, Ireland) Williams Adams (Ancestor William Adams b. 1816) Bill Adams emailed the following about his "Adams" lineage: "I can trace my lineage back to William Adams born in Mecklenburg, VA in 1816 or 1820. I know his mother was Sarah/Sally "Adams". (And I think he may have had brothers Alfred and James). I cannot determine who his father was. His grandfather appears to be James Adams who fought in the Revolution. Sarah/Sally having a last name of "Adams" is weird. Due to the exact match between us, I am wondering whether Sarah/Sally actually had a husband named "Allen" who died or something. Maybe Sarah/Sally went to live with her "Adams" dad for this or some other reason and the kids were raised with an Adams last name. I sayy this because it seems weird to me that Sarah/Sally's husband would also be the same last name of "Adams". You show your earliest ancestor being 1820, but I do know that the "Adams" in Mecklenburg lived on "Allen's" creek. Also, one of them married an "Allen" (maybe it was William, I can't remember for sure.) I know there were "Allens" living in close proximity to the "Adams" in Mecklenburg, VA."
