Hello Hooper Researchers ~

Did I get your attention?  I've just posted new DNA results on the 
Hooper DNA Table that add to the mystery of a block of matching 
results.  You can currently find them on lines 2-14 through 2-20 (lines 
move as new results are added).  They are highlighted in green.  The 
block has the following HOOPERs listed:  Charles, Thomas, Wesley, Abram 
& George - AND - William HOPPER and John POWELL.  They're all matching 
within the required number of mutations or less to definitely be related 
to a common ancestor. 

Naturally the Hopper and Powell relatives are wondering how this could 
be.  One of you savvy genealogists out there may hold the key to their 
mystery!  Who can figure out how they're connected?  (A couple notes of 
interest may also be that the Jasper Powell (1833) had a brother who has 
descendants that have also tested through another company and are exact 
matches to Miles Powell - so that gives clue to the mystery of 
connection being prior to 1833.  Also, notice "Tillman" born 1837 in the 
first Hooper group listed.  The Powell family also have a "Tillman" 
Powell born 1834 - maybe another clue.)

Well, there you have it - a big mystery - who can solve it first?
