Yes, that would be the hypothesis. Most likely as you find more matches you will confirm that further. And you are one step ahead because you have it narrowed to which individual in that ancestral couple you share (since the wives are different).

Their relationship is distant, but identified. They share a common gr gr grandfather, although through different wives. They also have a common surname and both test into the same group of the DNA surname study. So do I understand that this position cited above can be determined to have come from that common gr gr grandfather and can be assigned to him at this point?
