You know, I think the term extinction here is maybe used in the sense that there are no more in Coatesville PA...because we know that one of Moses' descendants Samuel, listed in Spraker on the Boone Family, I think it was, moved west and married into the Boone family...this was early 1800s...remember, news in those days was local.... But then we won't know until more folks join our DNA project....:) Char ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Larry Coats" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COATES-L] Caleb, Jesse, Moses Coates Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 08:09:18 -0500 And if true, the extinction of this particular line(in the male line)does not help the on-going DNA testing,etc. I was hoping that somewhere along the way that we would find a male-line descendant of the first Moses Coates and see how his DNA compares to the other groups. Now, IF the allegation cited is true, that option is out. Most unfortunate. Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda J.
