This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Boatright Boatwright Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZYE.2ACEB/346 Message Board Post: We have received our first testing results that indicate at least two distinct branches of the Boat(w)right family, perhaps providing support for the "Allen Brothers" story. However, we need more testers from the various branches of the family. If you are a male Boat(w)right and can trace your line of the family to one of these Boatright ancestors: Thomas (b. 1705 VA., d. 1776 SC., m. Margaret Dyer) John (b. 1730 VA., d. 1790 VA.) Daniel (b. 1739 VA., d. 1797 VA., m. Jane Martin) James (b. 1745 VA., d. 1815 VA., m. (1) Elizabeth Kidd and (2)Mary Kidd) Jesse (b. 1751 VA., d. 1821 VA., m. Judith Tabb) Thomas (b. 1763 SC., d. 1833 AR, m. Amy Rushing) ...please consider participating in the DNA test. Cost is $229 for a 25 marker test or $289 for the 37 marker test. With your help we will hopefully determine the relationships between the various branches of the Boat(w)right family. Thank you.
