Your observation: Kit 26040 is a different matter. Once we accept that 26040 and 25569 have James C. Queen as the most distant confirmed ancestor, then there is no way that Reubin and Moses could have had a Pa with the 18, then one of the grandsons end up with the 17 (don't go on about parallel mutations). It is just not consistent. I would argue that for 26040, we need to confirm the documentary record back to the most distant confirmed ancestor, and would be willing to argue that at some point things aren't so confirmed, and maybe one of these sponsors is playing with a speculative deck. My response... The donor of 26040 is not willing to confirm a lineage to James C. Queen. More research is needed on this lineage. Thus, my tentative exclusion of this kit from the James C. Queen/old Moses Queen lineage. Gene

I just reloaded the lineage version of the page showing an outcome when certain assumptions are taken out of the mix for arguments sake. Focus on the orange and purple colored text on lines 36 to 44 of the websheet. Rolla -----Original Message----- From: queen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:queen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of O.
