I am looking for any Gray's that have already been tested for DNA matches. While you may have already been notified of any DNA matches, you probably were not notified if you did not match with another Gray line. I would like to make an ongoing list for the present day descendants of all Gray's that have been DNA tested so we can identify those Gray's who do not match our particular Gray line.
My DNA information:
My earliest know ancestor is Jeremiah Gray born about 1774 (reportedly on Long Island, New York) and death was in 1828 in Meigs County, Ohio.
Known DNA matches are the line of Captain William Gray born 1724 NY and death in 1828 in New Brunswick, Canada and the line of John Wesley Gray born 1845 TN and death in 1934 OK (possibly the son of Franklin Gray born 1822 TN, but this is not certain).
If you have been DNA tested with Family Tree DNA and were not notifed as a match with my Gray lines, I would be interested in sharing information so our research efforts do not include each others work, If you were not DNA tested with FTDNA ... I would be interested in sharing DNA results to see if we might be a match.
My goal is that each of us can focus our efforts in finding our ancestors ... and not invest unnecessary time in dead-end research.
