• Notes

  He left descendants with the haplogroup E-MF104747. That haplogroup doesn't meet up with a common to all but those who descended from his son Alexander, till what is predicted by FTDNA to be around the year 1440-1450 with a common ancestor to all the other lines with Big Y results that go back to E-BY5775. That means most people who believe they descend from Rev. Alexander, DO NOT.
