Hello Janie May:
My surname is Proffitt. My G G Grandfather is identified as Young McKindred Proffitt, born abt 1824 in TN and died probably about 1890-95 near O'Fallon, IL. Abt 3 yrs ago, we did a DNA test and found that we have a 37 marker match to several Douglases but no paternal Proffitts. One Young Elmore Douglas of Sullivan Co., TN married an Elizabeth Proffitt, daughter of George and Nancy Proffitt, Members of Young Proffitt's wife's (Jane Chester Patterson) family also settled there. We cannot find proof of YM Proffitt's parents. 2 questions: Does the name "McKindred" appear in your trees? Can you help me find the proofs for the William David Wilkey who is William Proffitt's illegitimate son? Finally, am I correct that this William Proffitt was descended from Sylvester Proffitt and not David Proffitt of London?
