Bruce's question about the divergence in DNA between Thomas Kinkead who married Hannah Clingen and John Kinkead Jr. son of John Kinkead the Merchant of Carlisle prompted me to assemble some information on the Clingan family in Pennsylvania.  This is not complete but it gives some indications of where Group C comes into play in this scenario.
