Hi, Jim,
Have any of the descendants of Abraham DAIN / DANE / DAYNE / DEAN participated in the Y-DNA tests? Abraham was of Casco, ME, before he m. 22/27 Dec. 1671, New London, CT, Sarah PEAKE, dau/o Wm. My last DANE ancestor was Deborah DANE (24 Mar. 1791, PA - 15 Je. 1869, Bishopville, Morgan Co., OH) who m. Adam SHANER and also lived in Muskingum Co., OH.
I have quite a few Maryland records. Who do you think was father of James, b. ca. 1775?
