Mary, Carol is NOT related to the SLAGLE family of Wayne Co., KY. Carol as well as I are related to Henry SLAGLE, b. 1765, m. Christina KELCHNER, of Shenandoah, Wythe, Washington, and Scott Cos., VA, Sullivan Co., TN, and also lived in NC for several years. I am Administrator of the SLAGLE Y-DNA Project through Family Tree DNA. These are the results so far. The above Henry SLAGLE and Frederick SLAGLE of Rowan, Lincoln, & Yancey Co., NC, have a common ancestor. One participant from Henry SLAGLE and one participant from Frederick SLAGLE have upgraded to a 37-marker Y-DNA Test. The Wayne Co., KY, SLAGLE line is believed to be descended from Peter SLAGLE of Rowan Co., NC, through son John SLAGLE. Son Peter was also in Wayne Co., KY, and then went on to Scott Co., IL. Son Abraham left Rowan Co., NC and went to Wythe Co., VA, in 1808-09. A descendant of son Abraham is a participant in the SLAGLE Y-DNA Project. This descendant was a perfect 25/25 marker Y-DNA match with several participants who are descended from John Christian SCHLEGEL, b. abt 1710, of Berks Co., PA. Peter may in fact be a son of Johann Christian SCHLEGEL who disappeared from the Berks Co., PA records after 1774. The participant who is descended from Peter SLAGLE through son Abraham and one of the participants who is descended from John Christian SCHLEGEL have upgraded to a 37-marker Y-DNA test. Time Frame of the Common Ancestor - Y-DNA - 12 markers - 25 markers - 37 marker tests. The 12/12 match is 50% probability is 14 generations and 90% probability is 48 generations. The 25/25 match is 50% probability is 7 generations and 90% probability is 23 generations. A 37/37 match, the time frame of the Common Ancestor at 50% probability is 4.7 generations and 90% probability is 16 generations. The SLAGLE Y-DNA Project was established to determine the common ancestors of the early SLAGLE families living in Colonial America. If your SLAGLE family has been in the U.S. by or prior to the Revolutionary War and you are a direct SLAGLE male descendant, you are invited to participate. Some of the variations of the name of SLAGLE are SLAGGLE, SLAGEL, SLAGLEY, SCHLEGEL, SCHLOEGEL. Diane Slagle Sheridan
