Have you checked out the Barrett Surname DNA Project web site lately? We have 6 members from Reuben's descendants and 3 members from Arthur's descendants, Arthur being the husband of Rebecca Barton. Reuben's family is indicated by SC-1 and Arthur's family is indicated by SC-2. We have one person from each group who doesn't match the other members. This was more or less expected. This leaves us with 5 SC-1 and 2 SC-2 members who match on 12 of 12 markers. More importantly, we have 3 SC-1 members and 2 SC-2 members who match on 25/25, 24/25, or 23/25 markers. Any of these matches are close enough to indicate a common ancestor for Reuben and Arthur. It does not prove there is a common ancestor nor does it prove who he was. But it is an additional piece of information to indicate that they were brothers. The web site is at http://home.flash.net/~parino/barrett-family-dna-project.htm . Jim Barrett Bedford, TX
