Pat,
Good points. The difficulty is not that they don't match with Jacob's line
but that they match another line who does not appear geographically close
and that line traces somewhat to a different ancestor.
I'm scratching my head....

I find your research results quite interesting, in that some of the paper
tracing goes back to a certain male Carmack, but the DNA does not. Now, is
it possible that there may have been a little hanky-panky going on back
then?? I say this because after exploring my own family line, I discovered
dear ole' grandpaw went exploring on the sly. They didn't have birth
control, and who's to say who a child may have had for a biological daddy???
I have another ggggrandmother whose sister gave birth twice to children
belonging to my ggggrandfather. At least, this is one thing to consider
when the paper trail and the DNA trail do not match. Keep in mind, they
weren't all saints! (All in good humor)
