This page is organized by ahnentafel number, based on which ancestor(s) is most relevant for a specific DNA result.
Thus, Y-DNA results are organized under the most distant known male ancestor from whom that Y-DNA originated. For example, a male-line descendant of 96William Smith has provided a Y-DNA sample, and the results are described under the heading "96William Smith," regardless how many generations have passed between 96William Smith and this descendant. Below, the names of ancestors for whom
Likewise, mitochondrial DNA is organized under the most distant known female ancestor from whom that mitochondrial DNA originated. Below, ancestors with
On the other hand, autosomal DNA results are discussed under the most recent ancestor(s) from whom that autosomal DNA originated (but ignoring very recent ancestors whose identity is secret and not discussed on this website). For example, the same male-line descendant of 96William Smith (mentioned above) also provided an autosomal DNA sample, but the results are instead discussed under the heading "12Henry I. Smith and 13Oma Mae Collins," i.e. the parents of the man who provided the DNA sample, since these are his most recent ancestors discussed on this website. Below, ancestors with

My father has autosomal DNA test results. His sample has numerous matches with DNA cousins; some of the most recent common ancestors reflected by these matches include 16George W. Knight, 17Alice Knight, 20Joseph Preston Geiger, 21Mattie Copeland, 36William M. Thigpen, 37Serena Williams, 46Rhoden Tant, 47Narcissa Black, 70Gilford Bedgood, 71Lucinda ___, 84James Copeland, 85Matilda Rabun, 90Benjamin Burton Black, 91Elizabeth Sutton, 92John G. Tant, 93Rebecca Hill, 144Melancton Thigpen, 164Thomas Davis, 165Cemantha McLendon, 170Renson Rabun, and 174Thomas B. Logue.
This sample helped to prove that 19Sallie Williams' mother is 39Elizabeth Norris, that 160Jeremiah Geiger's father is 320Abraham Geiger, and that 174Thomas B. Logue's parents are 348James Logue and 349Frances Hunter.
I have a copy of the raw autosomal DNA results. If you have a compelling genealogical interest, suspect you may be related, and want to compare results manually, contact me. 
The sample has fairly close matches to samples from two descendants of Carolyn Jean Willis (FamilySearch, FindAGrave, sketch of Carolyn's lineage), but I can't identify a most recent common ancestor (MRCA). These two matches are summarized in the table below. A partial Leeds analysis suggests that the MRCA may be on 8Bryant Knight's ancestral line, and this hypothesis is further strengthened by a triangulated 21.9 cM segment on chromosome 4 that is common to my father, Crystal Lancaster (another known descendant of 8Bryant Knight and 9Julia Thigpen; lineage), and Derrick Phillips (see below).

A son of 12Henry I. Smith and 13Oma Mae Collins has autosomal DNA test results on FamilyTreeDNA, kit #50817. As of this writing (April 2023), the closest match is 123 cM, but I have made no effort to determine where the relationship lies.
I have a copy of the raw autosomal DNA results. If you have a compelling genealogical interest, suspect you may be related, and want to compare results manually, contact me.
In addition, I have 23andMe data, including autosomal results, from my maternal grandfather (who is a brother of the above-noted son of 12Henry I. Smith and 13Oma Mae Collins, who provided FamilyTreeDNA kit #50817). If you have a compelling genealogical interest, suspect you may be related, and want to compare results manually, contact me.
My maternal grandmother has autosomal DNA test results. Her sample has numerous matches with DNA cousins; some of the most recent common ancestors reflected by these matches include 28Hiram Wesley Brown, 56Henry O. Brown, 60John R. Dunkin, 61Ailcy Catherine Garner, 62Isaac W. Brown, 63Sophronia A. Waldrip, 57Margaret Ada Haynes, 116John W. T. Parlier, 117Mary Duckett, 488Charles Garner, 489Ann Darnell, and 932William Douthit.
This sample helped to prove that 121Edith Reid's parents are 242Henry Reid and 243Edith Harrison, and that 123Sarah McGraw's father is 246Ephraim McGraw.

A proven male-line descendant of 96William Smith (more specifically, a son of 12Henry I. Smith) has Y-DNA test results:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50817 | 111 | spreadsheet | R-P25 a.k.a. R-M343 | as on this website; the most recent relevant ancestor is 12Henry Irvin Smith | link 1link 2 (Look under "R-M269 Smith Group GRP-R-M269- 88.") |
As of this writing (May 2023), there are two close matches at the 111-marker level: FTDNA kits 484409 (two different markers) and 358161 (one different marker). 484409 states that his earliest known Smith ancestor is William Smith (1786 - 21 March 1851). 358161 states that his is John Austin Smith (c1780 - 1838).
In addition, I have 23andMe data, including Y-DNA results, from my maternal grandfather (who is a brother of the above-noted son of 13Oma Mae Collins, who provided FamilyTreeDNA kit #50817). The results further specify that his paternal haplogroup is R-L1. If you have a compelling genealogical interest, suspect you may be related, and want to compare results manually, contact me.

In addition to my father, three self-declared male-line descendants of 512John Knight also have Y-DNA test results:

There is a proposal that 512John's father is James, son of Captain Peter Knight; see the evidence thereof. As noted on the evidence page, FamilyTreeDNA kit #265313 belongs to an alleged male-line descendant of this Captain Peter, but sadly I'm unable to verify his lineage due to a gap in the paper trail.
