Hi Folks, We have another result from a participant who claims descent from George Newton (b. 1742). He is a type "O", and therefore matches another participant whose claimed descent is from Isaac Newton (b. 1735). So this result lends support to the contention that George and Isaac were brothers. Of course they could have been more remote cousins and they still would likely have matched. Also, the type "O" folks are right in the middle of one of the most common DNA types, so maybe it was coincidence. Anyway, there is still nothing to suggest the Duplin folks descended from Richard Newton of Marlboro/Sudbury, as none of those claims have ever matched the fairly established type "J" of Richard Newton. But there is another issue, and which I am hoping to get feedback from this list.... I am interested in the questioned Isaac Newton in the subject line given above; Isaac Newton, son of Isaac, son of George Newton born 1742. We have two participants claiming descent from this Isaac. But one calls him Isaac Milton Newton (born 1822), and the other calls him William Isaac Newton (born 09 Jun 1809). The one from William Isaac Newton is type "M", so I would strike the entry, but "M" is only two mutations away from "O", so maybe I should wait. Also, I don't want to link the type "O"s like this (prematurely), since it may be an action that is hard to undo. I would like it very much if anyone could prove or disprove either or both parentages of these "Isaac"s NEWTON. Surely Isaac Newton (son of George) did not have two sons named Isaac, did he?
