David J. Miller, I

DNA findings

Descendants of two children of David Miller have been found to have a 7th-cousin-level DNA match and chromosome overlap in common with a Hoeck/Hamme family of York County, Pennsylvania, headed by Johann Jacob Hake . These children are Elizabeth Hochstetler and Joseph D. Miller . The family dates are such that the Hoeck child who produced these descendants would have been born between 1750 and 1765.

Since no such ancestor can be found in the current tree of David Miller, it appears that the tree is wrong in some fundamental way.
