Welcome to the Quigley Doyle Family Tree website. I have recently been using Y-DNA (paternal line) testing to find the father of my maternal 3rd Great Grandfather, George H. M. Walker (b. 1793 , Rutherford Co., NC – d. 1852, Wayne Co., TN). Surprisingly, it appears to be a Burnett, not a Walker, as explained here: Is a Burnett the Father of George H. M. Walker?. Additional Y-DNA testing is in progress, but currently the data indicate that a son of Jesse Burnett (b. ~1733, Brunswick Co., VA – d. aft 1829, Rutherford Co., NC) is the man (Placeholder) Burnett who created my “Walker” line with my 4th Great Grandmother, Mary (Polly) Moore (b. 1768, Mecklenburg Co., NC – d. bef 1857, Wayne Co., TN). Jesse Burnett’s sons are my current research focus.
