Y-DNA tests have shown that James Dudley Smothers (the descendant of Samuel Smothers who replied to your post) and I share a common direct-line male ancestor...presumedly named Smothers.We are not yet sure who that person is, but it must have been some male back in the 1700's or earlier as I have traced my line back to Edmond Smothers, b abt 1784 NC.
Anyway, if James' ancestor Samuel Smothers really was a brother to Jourdin Smothers, then you will be interested to know that I have some DNA test results that indicate I am part Native American.It has to come from my father as my mother was German (with German parents).I am having further DNA testing done now to see if there is a direct line male Native American in my ancestry, e.g., perhaps Edmond Smothers or his father, etc.
