My G3 grandfather William was found in Louisville, KY in the 1832 City Directory listed as a steamboat pilot and may have been this same person. Searching for confirming documents. Screening DNA: DYS426=11 DYS 464 a,b,c,d=11,11,13,15 Matches to all of these deserve further scrutiny. Thanks for your help. Allen Lee DeForrest
