Some DNA on L-95/180 would be interesting. Especially when you see the deeds with the Butler co., OH (L-102) and the KY lineage (L-112). Coincidence????Who knows.

In the DNA research there is a possible link to L44 but Marv and I have been unable to find anything. In the L95 listing there is reference that "Samuel Beatty L142" but I have been unable to contact anyone from that line. Does anyone have a contact for that line? It would be exciting to have someone from L95 DNA tested to see if we all connect!
