A descendant of James Otis Clark has joined the project with a 100% match to several "Moffitt" and "Moffett" samples. Clark families with origins in Randolph County, North Carolina or vicinity may be interested in this participant's results.
24 April 2006 - An article by Donald Moffitt appeared in the Encore section of the Wall Street Journal on Monday, 24 April 2006. The article, title "Missing Links" relates to the DNA testing of male descendants of Robert Moffitt and his children who settled in North Carolina in 1760. It also refers to an associated group of Moffetts living in colonial Virginia and a mysterious Mr Rutherford who appears to be related to both groups. This article is especially relevant to project members whose results fall into the NW Irish Moffat sub-group (see Project Results).
