D. (Sr.) lineage line, where EVERYONE KNOWS that for yrs. that was where they belonged, and certainly Thelma's book does not do much in helping explain how they got there in the first place AND her book has for yrs. been taken as the gospel on Wm. D. (Sr.)! Of course no one every did the research (like her brother did) on old Alex.(Jr.) & Jane when they had the living sources, and since his lineage line is so unknown and unsettled, (other then what is in the Kyle Collection in Knoxville, TN) we both are out here on a limb that could get sawed off........ so I'm more then willing to change chapters, but not at this time as I want the 3,000 pages out and comments coming in, BUT at some future date, maybe we can be more sure of the "blood" dna between Samuel and James B. O., tho to me "cousins" would be the best way to explain it, as I just can't get my mind around a solution that would say they had the same mother!!!!
