How valuable would it be to have my son tested when we don't know for sure

Tay, is the arrangement Callison/Aston and then all Astons? The way that I
understand it, your son would not prove a Callison line because the marriages
that took place after Charles and Rebecca would introduce more maternal lines.
In fact, let me think this out, I suspect that I was incorrect yesterday also
about you being a match with another female line from Elisha because you
descend from a male child of Rebecca. Wouldn't you like to just go back and have all
of these people have both males and females so that 150 years later we could
have fun with all of this. You are in the same situation that I am in -- a
female descending from a male line but I do have known male relatives who would
be direct lines back to John and theoretically James and Isabella. Wouldn't
that be a hoot to get my line tested and find out that we did not match with say,
a line from William, or Moses or Absolom etc etc etc. Take care all
