My Owsley ancestor, John Owsley, was born about 1731 in northern Virginia (most likely Stafford County or King George County) and was the result of a non-paternal event. We tested with Family Tree DNA and our Y-DNA Haplogroup is R-M222.  In my family notes concerning John Owsley, I write the following: According to Family Tree DNA, we are possible descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages. Sometimes I tell other researchers that John Owsley's true biological father was most likely Irish. What would you say in your notes if you were an R-M222 Owsley?  What other DNA test would you recommend in an attempt to find my true ancestral family? (NOTE: We match closely with the Wilson, Laws, Quinn, and McCarty families, along with several other families. Out of 37 markers, no exact match has been found, except with other Owsley "Ousley, Housley" participants.) Sincerely, Floyd L. Owsley floydlowsley@yahoo.com Sent from Yahoo! Mail for Windows 8
