She uses the records of St. Peters and the wills to back up what she has printed. What did the DNA test show? Rachel Well, short of buying the book, that isn't going to satisfy my desire to see documentation :) I suppose I was asking what specific records cement the John 1693 as son of the earlier John. Not sure how to answer your question about what did the DNA Test show, because I'm not sure exactly what you are expecting in the way of an answer. We have nobody with documented descent from the father John (m Sarah Cocke) in the Project, so we cannot compare his DNA to the John 1693. What the DNA has shown is that the following lineages are definitely genetic matches: John Webb III (04/27/1693 Henrico Co., VA.- 04/27/1736, Henrico Co., VA.) William Smith Webb Sr. (19 Jan 1775 Franklin Co, VA - 1836 Sumner Co, TN) Henry Webb (1788, PA - 11/2/1868, Elizabethtown, Bartholomew County, IN) Jacob Webb (03/24/1807, Tazewell County, VA - 04/27/1856) Gabriel W. Webb (1822, Choptack, Hawkins Co, TN-1913, Jefferson City,Jefferson Co, TN) D. P. Webb (1914, Dry Creek, Raleigh Co, WV-1988, Lynchburg, VA) There are some other lineages which are "close," but not close enough to call as definitely genetically related. They may have a common ancestor further back in time, or we simply may not have the intervening haplotype which ties them to this group. Anne
