Ezekiel Harrelson family
I got to thinking about the DNA project and wondering why there might be a Harrelson line from Denmark and one from England. I thought of two possibilities for Ezekiel Harrelson as a different line, but don't know if such speculation could ever be proven. Knowing that there are always things that families never discuss, is it possible that Ezekiel's Harrelson parentage (either him or an ancestor) came through his mother instead of his father? Children born out of wedlock often took the mother's last name, especially if the father was not in the picture. The DNA tests are through the father, not the mother so this may be why the line shows England.
The other possibility is that Ezekiel or his ancestor was adopted by the Harrelson family. If this is the case, his actual parentage might never be known.
Has anyone looked into these possibilities and how might they be looked into?
