    1. [ILJOHNSO] MORSE / MOSS DNA TESTING
    2. Debbie & Jim McArdle
    3. We have all twenty five of Ebenezer Morse's DNA markers now confirmed. Now that we have Ebenezer's genetic signature, so to speak, our next task is to try to find others with the same markers indicating they share a common ancestor with Ebenezer. Our best chance of that is to find descendants of some of the other Morse/Mosses who lived near Ebenezer and Agnes at various times. We are looking for men who were in Prince William Co when Ebenezer was there; Sylvester Moss, Mathew Moss; Obadiah Morse who was there in 1751; another Ebenezer who was there in 1733; and Ebenezer and Obadiah Morse in Westmoreland Co. We are still looking for descendants of John Morse of Augusta GA whose son was in Caldwell and Livingston Co; James, Drury and Garrott Morse who were in Greenville Co, SC; the "other" James Morse who was married to Emily (ancestor of Betty Dill) from Spartanburg; and Mason Morse whose son was in Weakley County, TN in the 1830s and 1840s.. Ebenezer was proved not to be related to Hammond and Travis Moss who were in South Carolina or the Travis who was in Pope Co IL. We have 10 sets of results back now. Seven of them are very different from those of Ebenezer Morse's descendents. We are working to try and find connections for those men. If anyone on this mail list knows of a descendent from any of the individuals mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, would you kindly contact us with their e-mail address or their phone number? We are very close to making early connections for a number of our participants and your help would be appreciated. Colleen Norman and Debbie McArdle Morse-2 DNA Group Administrators
