Genetic Genealogy / DNA testing

The following people have tested their DNA for genealogical purposes:

Kris Hewitt Stewart (23andMe, FTDNA, Gedmatch, MyHeritage, AncestryDNA)

Brandon Gilby (23andMe, FTDNA, MyHeritage, Gedmatch)

Sandra Foster (23andMe, FTDNA, MyHeritage, Gedmatch)

Tiffany Hewitt (23andMe, FTDNA, MyHeritage, Gedmatch)

Samuel Knox (23andMe, FTDNA, MyHeritage, Gedmatch)

We would love for more people who are descendants of Robert Knox and Martha Pedan to test there as well so we can identify the segments of DNA that we have inherited from this couple.
