John Ellis of Sandwich: DNA breakthrough

oops.I forgot to finish a sentence:
"The DNA results show a 25-marker match, differing only at DYS 447, between the descendant of Levi Ellis and the descendant of a Henry Ellis. There is therefore a 90% chance that the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of these was born after 1490."
(This is significant, because John Ellis of Sandwich was b. ABT 1569 and Robert Ellis of Lincoln was b. ABT 1550.There is a 90% probablity, therefore, that their MRCA was b. within two generations before this.)
