Hi William, the only test that might show a connection to Gen. Posey through your wife would be the new Family Finder test with FTDNA.It costs about $289 I think.They could tell you.You can order it on line.www.familytreedna.comIt would have to be done on your wife or if her parent who is descended from that line is alive, then that person would be better.Her father would be the best if he is a Posey.If so he could do the yDNA test which would be the best.If her mother is alive and is the descendant then she could get the Family Finder test. The further you get from the ancestor the harder it is to prove a link.
If your sons get the yDNA test that wouldn't show anything but Thornhill matches.The Family Finder test might show the relationship but being one more generation removed, it might not.
