Did Agnes CARSON have a younger sister named Esther CARSON (or was she a neice as some have proposed)?????? If anyone can prove or disprove this, please reply. If they were sisters, then it helps prove our assumption that these two CARSON sisters were married to two MAXWELL brothers. Recent DNA results indicate that Henry MAXWELL and Nathaniel MAXWELL are very closely related. Since their estimated birthdates are just eleven years apart, they could be brothers. And since they both had wives named CARSON, it would indicate that two brothers in one family married two sisters in another family....a very common practice in the 1700s and 1800s. What leads to this conclusion? In the MAXWELL FAMILY DNA STUDY, a living male descendant from each of the above couples (Henry Maxwell m. Agnes Carson and Nathanial Maxwell m. Esther Carson) provided DNA samples. These two Y-chromosome samples matched exactly for the first 12 markers (loci). An additional analysis (refined "high resolution" test)was made and the two samples also matched exactly on a 25-marker test. FamilyTreeMakerDNA statistical studies show that these two donors are certainly related and that they share a common ancestor in the past seven (probability 50%) generations. In other words, Henry and Nathaniel could be brothers and their father (name unknown through standard genealogical processes) could be the common ancestor. This is new and exciting inofrmation as both of these lines seem to be at and "brickwall" and have been thoroughly researched and revisited many times over the years! Both FTDNA and the Maxwell DNA Study have the policy of not releasing the name of DNA donors, however, the DNA scores can be released with a coded donor number. Please visit our website, and your comments on the above are invited. http://hometown.aol.com/dnamaxwell/myhomepage/index.html Additional info: As of this date we have not had a UNEXPECTED 25/25 match in the Maxwell DNA study...till now. We have had 25/25 matches in genealogically proven lines to verify the reliability of the lab and the results.

Thanks, Don this should be very helpful for those who believe in new idea's. Just remember before the internet how hard it was to do this type research. Who would of ever thought a computer could help research our family lines. My grandfather never believed men walked on the moon, go figure.....................from the time of Adam to the early 1900's men walked, sailed, rode an animal, now me are walking on the moon waving the flag.
