There are now 10 documented and direct male descendants of William Gowin (born about 1732) who married Anester Unknown that have taken part in Y-DNA testing and all areconfirmed relations.Nine of those descendants are posted at the McGowan DNA Project at Family Tree DNA and they descend through three documented sons of William & Anester.Their Y-DNA Haplogroup is I2b1a1 with a rare subclade of SNP L369.This SNP is believed to be indigenous to SW Scotland having been found there for over 5,000 years.The results can be seen at the following: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/McGowan/default.aspx?section=yresultshttp://www.familytreedna.com/public/McGowan/default.aspx?section=yresults
Many of these same descendants have also participated in autosomal DNA with no common results on any same chromosome related to Native American, African, Asian, or other ethnicity outside of European.
