Deborah,
Sorry to take so long to follow up... I tried to read a little about DNA research, and most looked geek to me. From what I've read, you are right about it being a male line, and not just a male descendant.
The reason I asked was this… while my father, my son, my cousin, and my nephews are descendants of William Beck Ochiltree, they are from a female line (Ayalita Ochiltree).
Am I wrong in saying that there is NO known existing male line from William Beck Ochiltree? William Beck Ochiltree had 5 sons… Thomas, David, William Jr., Dunkan, Lamar, and Nathan. Only Thomas and William Jr. lived to be adults, and I don’t have any record that either of them had children. Am I wrong?
I hope so, as otherwise that would nullify possiblities of the DNA research.
