Research Notes

His son John's line used the surname McDaniel.

Most of his son Eli's line used the surname McDonald

There has been an unsourced mention that this profile's middle name was Robinson.

This profile seems to be well-documented forward in time with primary evidence and respectable autosomal DNA. However, the parents look very iffy indeed. I can find no primary evidence at all, especially for connection back to the old world, even more so given the social class of the purported father. That said, the Y chromosomal DNA for FTDNA kit 897567 does match the profile (FGCLR579) (as do I) which has previously been tentatively attributed to Dunnyveg. The purported father of this profile is traditionally attributed to Dunnyveg with little if any quibbles. Thus, the DNA evidence suggests a diligent search for primary evidence supporting the purported parents of this profile.
