Y DNA cannot be used in this fashion.

Y DNA cannot prove a connection to Roger Daniel if his Y DNA is not proved. What this group could prove at the time the chart was published was, as I recall, that several men could be traced back to North Carolina, I think, in the mid 1700s and their descendants shared their Y DNA. No one could make a jump back to Virginia, using primary records, though, much less to Warwick County, VA where Roger Daniel resided. I don't recall all of the details since the chart does not seem to be available any more. I think I made a copy but it is buried in my files.

There was another group about the same time which was in the same boat trying to claim ancestry from the John Daniels of York County, VA.

Y DNA evidence must be supported by primary records to establish ancestry. In some cases a well reasoned argument based on primary records where absolute proof does not exist may be used, but that must be carefully constructed.

I am confused, is Woodson M. Daniel's ancestor claimed to be William Daniel of Middlesex, VA or Roger Daniel of Warick, VA?
