Beverly,
This is a video with step-by-step instructions for downloading your raw DNA from Ancestry & uploading it to Gedmatch. If you have any trouble with the process, let me know.?

So John Daniel was still alive in 1830? I'll have to go back to the census records & look. I'm curious, how do we know that John was married to someone named Avis? I've never seen any documentation for that.
Kevin, I really like WikiTree, & also FamilySearch.org, for the most part. WikiTree requires documentation for anything that is put on there, so I like that. It makes me feel as if they really strive for accuracy. I have seen some mistakes on FamilySearch, but I do like searching there for documentation that I can't find on Ancestry. I really like Ancestry for the DNA matches. When I first started working on my family tree, I knew who all four of my grandparents were & about half of my great grandparents. That was it. With the help of DNA, I've been able to figure out a lot more of my tree. And sometimes when I have a match on Gedmatch, I can find their tree on Ancestry, which helps me figure things out. Both Gedmatch & FamilySearchDNA are great for being able to pinpoint where on which chromosomes my DNA matches & I match, which has also helped me to figure out some of my family tree.
