Perhaps I did not explain myself. My great-grandfather was said to be a direct male y-DNA descendant of Cornstalk but several in the family have tested and the haplogroup is African, not Native American. At least in our family, the Ailstock family, a Cornstalk myth has persisted for multiple generations. My guess this is true for others as well. Family stories, even if old, are not necessarily accurate. This is not disrespectful, it is seeking truth over myth.
