DNA What We Know:

If I’m reading this correctly, our common ancestor is R-FT115175 was in 1550 CE (1296-1706) which is the parent group from which R-FT115690 CE mutated from.  R-FT115690 is the parent of R-FT116536 which mutated in 1750 CE (1657-1857).  We have 2 persons with R-FT116536 and they trace to Patrick Hays 1705-1790 in PA. We have 2 persons with R-FT116590 who trace their ancestry to (highly suspected) John Hays 1674-1750 in VA. Thus any person doing research on their Hays line who matches an ancestor in the line of the 4 listed can be reasonably certain (barring any errors in the lists) that they are from the Patrick Hays or John Hays lines.
