Comment on Archelous Craft 1749-1853 by Stacy
Oh boy where do I start our families DNA comes back Craft sharing a ggg grandfather. I hate to stir the pot but we are Mulatto.. A C Craft was in the area at the time of conception. I believe that A C Craft 35 years old in 1900 has an affair with my gg grandmother she was a Mixed raced woman that went by the name of Lou.. Their Children’s name were Herbert, Paralee, and Minerva..
My cousin and I are at a slight disagreement which can be fixed if she can find Samuel Craft married to a Margaret Hartman and his dad William Craft married to a Sarah Alwood/Alward.. I feel these people are cousins. I just cant find the connections.. I do know with 100% certainty that A C Craft(Archelous) he was married to Larue and they were in Hawkins county at the time Herbert Ewing was born he took on his mothers name.. Can anyone help me..
Thank you

Comment on The things that keep me up at night… by layne.vanover@gmail.com
Peggie is my 4x great grandmother. I have been trying for 17 years to solve the mystery of her last name. Is it truly her maiden name, meaning all of the children were illegitimate? Was she married to a Montgomery before she shacked up with James Howard (who is, by the way, listed as the father of my 3x great grandfather Thomas Montgomery’s death certificate)? Has anyone located her death certificate to verify her father’s name?

Comment on Bio of William V Adkins of 1689 by Elizabeth Garner
Your post mentions Mary Polly Adkins who had several children out of wedlock by a Harley. It looks like DNA is pointing to Jacob Stover Jr, son of Jacob Stover and Sarah Boone (sister to George Boone, Daniel Boone’s father).

Hello Sheila, I found your site through a search for Poteets of Baltimore County, Maryland. I’m the manager of an autosomal and Y-DNA project focusing on the Rhodes/Whitaker/Poteet/McComas/Standiford lines originating from there.
We have some excellent leads, but we’re attempting to fill out our knowledge of the Poteet lineages and better understand our numerous Poteet DNA cousin matches.
If this line still interests you, you’re welcome to join us for conversation at

You might want to do ftdna.com’s Family Finder DNA test, about $100 or so, and I’d also do the ancestry.com test, at about the same price range. I gained 500 Family connections, my Wife 2,000, well woth it.

Comment on Adkins by Kelly
My great grandmother’s name is Grace Adkins, her father is Albert Leonard Adkins and her mother is Lethe Carpenter, Adkins. I am having a hard time finding out about my great, great grandparents. My Great grandmother is a West Virginia pioneer who married Charles Ace Randolph. That part of my family was easy to trace, but our Adkins family is confusing? If you can please help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Your cousin Kelly.

I don’t ever remember coming to this site in 2009 asking about Duval Porter……he was my grandfather’s uncle. He was a poet and I have his book ‘Sunset Poems’, as does a cousin of mine. I just found his death certificate on line and found that he wrote a poem ‘Pittsylvania’ and it was included in a book, ‘The History of Pittsylvania County’, in 1929, after his death.

Comment on Chief Cornstalk: Shawnee Lineage by Deana Friend Allen
After further Internet research and getting in touch with family members
I’ve been informed not to use any of the information in Don Green’s books. My family line is in Shawnee Heritage VII and we know for a fact dates he has listed a incorrect, marriages are incorrect and he has children listed belonging to the wrong parents. Guess it’s a good thing I decided to do some extra investigating on my own. Also he has my 7th great grandmother listed as Sarah “Bokavar” listed as Shawnee when there is no proof, other than a fictional novel. Bokavar was not her surname and purely made up for the purpose of the novel. My line runs from Isreal Friend in case anyone was wondering. Also there is conflicting info on as to who Sarah’s parents would have been as the dates do not match up for her to belong to Cornstalk or the other man that Don Green claims is her father.
I was also informed there are no state or federally recognized bands of Shawnee in the state of Ohio.

Comment on Chief Cornstalk: Shawnee Lineage by Geoff
Everyone on this blog should take a DNA test to see if they are part Native American. The Cornstalk stories are pure fantasy. I was glad to see I have ancestors from the Middle East and Mali mixed in. It was more acceptable in the 1800s to be part Native American so all of these stories were invented out of whole cloth.

Comment on Chief Cornstalk: Shawnee Lineage by Nancey Boseman
Dear Deana, Thank you for your post. You are such a blessings. I have tried to complete my moms, turning 96 on 5/27/16, family tree. I too am from the line of Israel Friend and I agree with you that much of the information on Israel and Sarah are not correct because the dates do not match up. I would love share the information you have documented and maybe together we could piece together a strong maybe. If you feel so inclined, please email me @ nanceyboseman@yahoo.com. Thank you. I did do the DAR documentation from our line and mom is a proud member of DAR. I am more than willing to share this information with anyone interested. Happy Mother’s Day. Nancey Nester Boseman

Comment on Chief Cornstalk: Shawnee Lineage by Theresa Caparco
I for one did have a DNA test done for my son, Cornstalk’s 6th great grandson.My son is 5% Native blood. And we know that to be Shawnee blood line from his fathers side and Mohawk from my line.I also took a DNA test and I showed 2% Native blood, that being Mohawk of the 5 Nations Deseronto, Canada. This tells us that my son inherited more of his DNA make up from his father than of me.My son descends from Chief Cornstalk through his daughter, Blue Sky.These stories are true based on family oral stories…my son’s DNA backs up those stories.So shut the F up!Theresa CaparcoFor Lorenzo Clark of theCornstalk-Adkins-Watson-ClarkFamily lines of WVAnd the Closs/Claus family lines of Canada.

I didn’t mean to offend you or anyone else. Some of the Cornstalk stories are true but many are not. My uncle swears that we are direct descendants of Cornstalk but we are not. The only way for people to verify their own history is a DNA test.

Comment on Chief Cornstalk: Shawnee Lineage by John C.
A Cornstalk decendant would be how much Indian? Its at least six generations back… Now assuming Cornstalk was 100% NA which he wasn’t. That’s 100, 50, 25,12.5, 6.25, 3.12… That’s also assuming that DNA is inherited in perfectly devided increments, which it isn’t…. Don’t rely to much on DNA to prove who you are… Also don’t be so disrespectful to your Elders…
