Please welcome Jack Moss to our group. He will be submitting his DNA for testing, representing a Virginia line of Mosses! It will be VERY interesting to establish a set of DNA markers for his Virginia line and we just might find a match for one of our DNA lines! The 12-marker test results are in for five of our members! Frank, James E. and Robert Nichols Morse match exactly, 12 out of 12! This means we have Ebenezer's DNA markers "pegged". Hopefully we can find more matches that will help us identify Ebenezer's ancestry. We may even be able to find cousins in the British Isles who have identical DNA markers, which could tell us where Ebenezer's family was from! Frank has expanded his test to 25 markers, and the results should be available any day now. James Bostick Morse and Tommy H. Moss match 11 out of 12, having mutations in just one sector. This was a surprise to us all! They are in the process of analyzing their charts to see where their male lines connect. We still need more DNA samples from male Morses (any spelling) from the following lines: Ebenezer Moss / Morse who lived in Prince William County, VA in the mid-1700s, Spartanburg County, SC in the late 1700s, and Caldwell County, KY in the early 1800s; Ebenezer and Obadiah Moss of Prince George Co MD; Mathew and Sylvester Moss of Prince William Co VA ; Samuel Morse of SC; James Morse of Greenville Co SC; Drury and Garrott Morris of Greenville Co SC; Hammond, Travis, and William Morris of Surry Co SC; Mason Morss of Spartanburg Co SC.
