Marilyn,
I don't know if you remember but the people from familytree DNA never sent me anything
about who Samuel matches. At one point you had said that he matched someone. How do I log
onto the Callison website? I am not familiar with that test that you mentioned. How do I
find out about it?

Good morning all, Just wanted to pass something along that
is probably coincidental but interesting. FamilytreeDNA has
a new test called family finder -- rather expensive- but I
decided to have my brother's sample tested that they have on
file. It is supposed to test paternal and maternal lines
back to 2nd great grandparents. So basically, you draw a
tree backwards to include yourself, 2 parents, 4
grandparents, 8 great grandparents and 16 great great
grandparents -- it tests for those 16 surnames. There is a
50 % accuracy rate for those 16 surnames. I only had two
matches and so far have found no connection BUT in one of
the matches -- he connects back to McCORKLE in Augusta Co.,
VA and in the other one she connects to a McCLURE but does
not have her line back as early as we do. Now what is
interesting in case you forgot -- there has been some
discussion about John Callison SR being married to Martha
McCorkle -- in her father's will, she was named as Martha
Calhison. So th!
is idea needs to be revisited on the off chance that we
carry McCorkle DNA. Has anyone else had this test done esp.
anyone from John and Jane to see if you matched this same
gentleman. Sadly, the email that he submitted -- is not
current so I have cannot get in touch with him. Even though
McClure and McCorkle are not in the 16 surnames that my tree
suggests (they are earlier generations) the McClure match
said that the ones that she was able to confirm on her
matches were all earlier that those 16 surnames. Martha
McCorkle's father was Samuel and we know of no Samuel that
was the son of John Callison Sr but we know of later
Samuel's that we cannot attach to anyone either.
Interesting, huh? Take care. Marilyn
