There were some listed in earlier years as I or IN. The 1870 census in Freedom Township Polk Co., AR lists several Quintons as I. I think it probably all depended on the enumerator. Blessings! Susan

Happy Thanksgiving, Susan and all on the list. If I may butt in, on my paternal side of my parents, I have family connections to Davy Crockett besides chasing my maternal Indian heredity. The reason I mention this on this site is that the Crockett - L site is as active as the Cherokee sites. They have been very active in these DNA tests, and found that the first one they sought to do the testing, left much to be desired as Mr. Matherly implies from his brothers test. The best I can tell ya'll about the Crockett DNA testing (my Crockett goes back to a gr.gr.gr.grandmother, Nancy Crockett married to Martin Wiginton/Wigginton) so I am not eligble to have testing done. These folks speak of 12 markers up to 37 markers - I read this to mean the number of ways they test the mouth swab the participant submits. And the tests run up to and about $200. I can go back thru my files and pass on the place that has been chosen in the last testing if anyone is interested; otherwise, I will not. It has been an interestng summer and fall as those who have always thought their relationship to the coon skin capped one was direct and suddenly there is no kinship. Some crowed pretty loud, but they withdrew quietly! My paternal ancestry in this country dates back to 1620 and Jamestown Colony, and we are working on my maternal Dyer line (his wife was the half Cherokee as this couple dates back to 1790 & 1795 ca birth years.)

Hey Bettye The markers are actually the number of markers on the DNA that they check; 12 through 37. The more markers you have checked the more accurately you can be matched to others with a common ancestor. Tootles Sharon
