while it speculates about different parents for Hugh Reynolds, of Pittsylvania also provides dna evidence that Hugh is *not* descended from Richard II and Mary Anderson, in part based on Y-line haplogroup provided by reported descendants of Hugh. I realize that this family line from Richard is full of contradictory/incomplete evidence. Is there any good counter-evidence that he is in fact Richard's son?
