    1. [KILGORE] Robert & Charles Kilgore

    3. According to John's graphs the kits for Charles Kilgore born 1740 died 1823 Greene Co TN #134403 & 134024 and that of a believed descendant of Robert Kilgore died 1782 (Randy's submission) # 160254 there is a genetic dsitance of 3 in the first graph he sent yesterday and a genetic distance of 2 in his "cleaned up" graph. I'm a novice at DNA. Does this support the supposition that Robert & Charles were brothers or is it more likely that they were first cousins? Or not so closely related? I know that this isn't exact and that there should be more DNA submissions on these lines to be sure and that this is still something of a "best guess" scenario; but that's what I'm asking for. It's always been believed that Robert & Charles were brothers based on their proximity and apparently close relationship supported by circumstantial evidence; never documentary evidence; now DNA seems to suggest otherwise (at least that's how I read it). Can anyone who knows more about this make a "best guess" for me? Vickie
