Dear Shasta,
The answer is:
Yes! Male descendants of Daniel would have the same yDNA as Daniel.
With possible occasional insertions and deletions in the yDNA over
time. These are spontaneous or induced mutations in the nucleotide
sequence of the yDNA; they commonly occur, and they guarantee
variation in our gene pool. Here is a very good article about this
phenomenon.

By the way Steve, your career?should make you an excellent
genealogist. I've always wished I had become a detective - what a
great background to do genealogy that would be!?

If a son of Daniel, in Scotland, including an illigitimate son, or
a son of
Daniel's son, Daniel Jr, were to have gone to Wales in the period
between
1630-1650 or later, and took up a family of his own, which family
eventually
left Wales for the new world, in the early 1700's, would they have
the same DNA
as Daniel?
No double talk, no hum and haw; no genealogy clattering, just YES
or NO. I'm
sure you will evade the question, because it would shoot down your
"hoax and
fictional myth" theory that you are want to hold on to.
On the other hand, if you answer yes, then there is your possible
answer as to
why the decendants of Richard, son of Isaac, would match Daniel's
DNA. In your
answer to me, you stated, "Coincidentally, Daniel Jr is known to
have had many
children that are not yet identified ...". In 60 years or so, it
is not only
possible but perhaps totally consistent with the time for a son to
have gone to
Wales, fathered a son named Isaac, who fathered Richard, Elisha,
and possibly
others, who came to America independently from Daniel's other
direct lineage.
If you agree that it is, in fact, POSSIBLE, perhaps this would be a
good time to
revise your well hammered out position that dozens of Robbins
researchers are
frauds and, perhaps there is another explanation for the DNA
connections.
