New information on our John Hale. I discovered through DNA research that my 2nd great-grandfather John Hale (born 1815 Wythe County, VA; died about 1877 Magoffin County, KY) father is Michael Aker (born 1766 Somerset County, PA; died 1833 Wythe County, VA. This has been confirmed by a DNA analyst at DNA Detectives. I have not yet confirmed who John Hale's mother is, I can't find enough matches with Michael Aker's wife Catherine Hepner to do a DNA analysis on her. Michael Aker may have had a liaison with another woman in his community in Wythe County, VA. I'll let you know if I find anything.
Have you had a DNA test done, either Y-DNA or autosomal?
