John,
Thank you for the input. However, I believe that James and Thomas have been proven brothers using Y-DNA testing. Worse luck for me... A Hope descendent, whom I KNOW is related to William of Liberty Co, GA. He and I have the same lineage and his Y-DNA does not match that of James. I will double check Y-DNA for James and Thomas, but I wrote it in my files and it is probably true.
BTW: He really "smelled" good because another grandson of William had in obit that his "granfather was born in PA and migrated to Liberty Co, GA".
I found two wills in Charleston Co, SC, where William was reportedly born. One for John died 1880 and one for John died 1728.I think his father was named John, because he named his eldest son John. [email protected]
