[Hooper] New Absalom Hooper DNA results.

[Clay Hooper]

 From Anne Goodwin:

Exciting news! A bunch of us Hooper researchers have A LOT of new 
relatives for this holiday season!

Recently completed Y-DNA testing proves Absalom Hooper (the pioneer of 
middle Tennessee) is of same lineage as are James Hooper (Indian 
fighter) and Absalom Hooper (the Revolutionary War soldier for South 
Carolina and Georgia).

Clay Hooper will post the results from a 25-marker test for participant 
John Hooper in the DNA table [Table 1] at his website
http://www.hooperconnections.com/dnatable.html

These results are a perfect match with what we've determined - via 
multiple testing of male descendants - must be the prototypical pattern 
for the James/Jesse/Absalom and his brother Clemmons/younger Andrew and 
younger Absalom Hooper lines.

This information is very suggestive that all of the men named Absalom or 
Absolom or Absolam or Absolem Hooper and born in the southern US before 
1850 were blood relatives. The DNA from this most recent participant 
John Hooper represents the y-DNA from the earliest of the now known 
Absaloms.

Many thanks to the Hooper DNA group for allowing me to make this 
announcement.
