Jim, This is Lee Powell from Garland (kit 107720) "T" group. We have found an extremely interesting person that might help us solve this massive confusion in the T/R1b1 debate. A fellow named Ed Corlew called me today and told me of a relative of his named Charles Paxton Powell, Jr, living in Hopkinsville, Ky, very near to where my GGfather lived in the same time period. This is interesting because of the name Paxton. My Great Grandfather was Dr James Paxton Powell, and this is the second time in history I have heard the name Paxton. We have long studied what the significance of the name Paxton, because it is so uncommon. Ed feels strongly that we are related and we need this Charles Paxton Powell to do a DNA test. Problem is, he is poor and can't afford the test. Since we are in a discounted price period, Ed and I, and probably Pat Springer, and maybe others would be glad to contribute to having Charles tested. My question to you Jim is, do we have any funds available to help someone like this out? This would be a super time to test him (with the discounted price). Would you please let me and Ed know what might be available. We are trying to see if indeed Charles Paxton Powell might be a fellow "T", or not. Ed Corlew's email is: egc153@juno.com Would you (and anyone else on here that might have any input) please get back to Ed and I and let us know is help is available and what we would need to do to get Charles Paxton Powell tested to at least the 37 level? We are eager to find this connection, and Ed gave me a ton of surnames that fit our family so closely, there has to be a connection here. Thanks and keep up the great work you do. Sincerely, Lee Powell "T" kit 107720 Powell site. --- On Fri, 11/16/12, Jim Barrett <parino@flash.net> wrote: From: Jim Barrett <parino@flash.net> Subject: [POWELL-DNA] Logan Cheek To: powell-dna@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, November 16, 2012, 1:08 PM To know if there is a possible connection we would need to know the Haplogroug of his Powell ancestor. I am assuming that his paternal line is Cheek. If this is correct neither his Haplogroup nor his Haplotype would have any meaning to men with a Powell paternal line. If you are related to Robert Powell from Culpeper, and Sarah Taylor his information could be helpful.

Lee and Ed, Each project has a general fund set up by FTDNA and anyone can donate to it. Go to http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Powell/ and scroll down below the ISOGG seal to find the link. Donations can be made by credit card or invoice. In this case we would need the donations to be made by credit card to be sure we had the funds before the sale ends. My preferred way of doing this is to have the kit sent to the person to provide the sample and have them return it. Lee or Ed should place the order now. Once the kit has been returned and the funds are in place I notify FTDNA to apply money from the fund to the kit. This way we don't pay for the kit and then not get it back. If the order is placed using this link the person is automatically added to the Powell project http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?code=E35819&Group=Powell FTDNA does not dun anyone to pay for a kit. They don't send it to the lab until they have there money so they are only out postage and the cost of the kit. In 2010 I abstracted a Powell research paper and sent it to anyone interested and asked that those who found it helpful/interesting make a donation to the fund. There is still $30 in the fund which I will donate to you effort if we can get enough added to pay for the Y-DNA37 kit. I'll keep anyone interested informed of the balance if they send me their e-mail address. Unless someone asks to be kept in the loop the rest of the messages on this topic will be sent to Lee and Ed. Lab Tour - To see what I saw when I took the lab tour at FTDNA got to the bottom of http://www.genebygene.com/ Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
