Need additional YDNA testers for John Smith/Isabella Drake and downlines
There are a lot of references for children of John Smith/Isabella Drake, (Watertown Massachusetts) but according to one of the YDNA testers who believes he may descend from Daniel Smith m Elizabeth Rogers , who *may* be a son of John, there is a question about whether John Smith/Drake only had two children when he died in 1663; Isabella Leavitt and Annabella Barsham. Reference is The American Genealogist", Vol. 61, p.20-31, Jan-Apr 1985, by Robert Charles Anderson. (I have not seen the article, if someone has it, please post or send it to info@smithsworldwide.org). Daniel Smith is said to have had only one son, Daniel, who married Mary Grant (see references on these pages)
At issue is whether Daniel Smith, who, again, is a *possible* son of Smith/Drake is also a brother to Thomas Smith/Mary Knapp. There is apparently a document that names Thomas Smith as a brother and John Knapp as an uncle to Daniel. At this point, assuming that is true, there is a YDNA conflict between a tester who claims Thomas Smith and YDNA testers who believe Daniel is the ancestor, through Oliver Smith b 1730 New London CT d Orange County, Vermont. m Zermiah Bingham.
Looking for anyone, in particular male Smith descendants of any of the above lines to do DNA tests (YDNA tests for males, autosomal for anyone else) , along with a provable descent line, to compare and attempt to sort this out. October 9, 2020

Autosomal Group What is an Autosomal Group?	If you have some known autosomal Smith matches already in the Smith DNA Project for this line, please let us know and we'll add to the group. Also,if the matches are not part of the Smith Official DNA Project at FamiliyTreeDNA, ask them to join; they can do an autosomal transfer if the DNA test was done with most other vendors
