DNA TEST DESCEND FROM EDWARD OF WEYMOUTH
I have been deadended in my search for ancestors for several years.My gggrandfather Nathan Bates b. 1795/6 somewhere in VT married Charity Tempel b. 1801/2 NY.Disregard entries in Rootsweb that show Nathan's father was also Nathan b. 1770, and that his grandfather was Ebeneezer.They are incorrect as Nathan did not have a son named Nathan.My DNA Test shows that I descend from Elder Edward Bate of Weymouth.I believe that his ggrandson Joseph Jr. through Edward Jr. and Joseph Sr. migrated to VT and possibly one of his children might be my Nathan's father.Possibly other siblings/cousins of Joseph Jr. also migrated to VT and are ancestors of my Nathan.Anyone that can give me any clues/information to solve this mystery please contact me.Anything will be greatly appreciated even if it eliminates certain Bates Lines to make my search easier.Thank you.
