Has anyone from the family of William Carroll whose genealogy is shown at the following
site taken the DNA test?

Several early genealogists decided that Jesse of Duplin/Sampson County, NC was the
youngest son of this William. Serious dating of land transactions and the age of his
oldest child, etc. proved that was wrong. However, it got written up that way in such
things as the Sampson County Heritage Book and in newspaper articles written by a college
history professor. It would be good if the DNA could be compared to see if there may have
been a relationship at all with this family.
Our cluster of similar profiles for the Sampson County Carrolls now has six members who
match 35/37 or better. Two of those have thus far not established any paper trail showing
a connection to Sampson County.
I think the project now has enough members to make a good database for comparison.
Researchers in years to come will be greatful to you who became the pioneers of the
project.
