    I'm sure that he did.  If he'd found people to talk to in Ireland they'd have told him the biggest myths.  I have the same problem with my Lowe line.

     

    I have all the Bucks County PA literature and am corresponding with Bob Erskine (father was a McKinstry), who is actively and thoroughly researching the line.  Nathan's father is not known.   I think that for the parents of Alexander Sr we have a line of Alexanders stretching into infinity but I'm vague on that.   Bob also has a mythological line that leads to Roger.   Since Alexander Sr and Nathan strongly appeared to be cousins, it's likely they had the same grandfather or atleast great grandfather.

    Martin, Family Tree DNA is having a sale through Thursday; 37 Y DNA markers for $119.  Independent of joining the project, which I hope you would do anyhow.  

     

    A descendant of Alexander b 1708, of the Bucks County McKinstry's, has tested, and if a descendant of Nathan would test, that would be great!    The Alexander descendant matched one of the New England families (the only one that so far tested).   But the two markers differing in McKinstry's are unpredictable, and we need to see how they are behaving in the family groups to get a better handle on how long ago their common ancestor lived.
