Participant #128807 (Frank D. Kent) has taken a 37 marker yDNA test and genetically matches the following Kent males(listed in order of estimated genetic distance, then by established descendants). (10 Sep. 2017)
Established descendant of Samuel Sampson Charles Kent, b Jun 1834 Pike Co., GA d 1902 Sargent, Coweta, GA m 1) Unknown; 2) Georgia Anna MILES:
• A genetic match of 11 out of 12 markers (a 1-step difference) with BOTH Participants #489014 (H. Kent) and Participant #317071 (W. Kent). FTDNA’s TIP Calculator estimates a 45.86% chance of a common male ancestor within 8 generations, 64.04% chance of a common male ancestor within 12 generations, and a 89.46% chance of a common male ancestor within 24 generations.

• A genetic match of 13 out of 37 markers (a 14-step difference) with Participant #351714 (J. Kent). FTDNA’s TIP Calculator estimates a zero percent chance of a common male ancestor within 6 generations, less than a 1% percent chance of a common male ancestor within 12 generations, 22.73% percent chance of a common male ancestor within 24 generations.

Family relationships closer than at the second cousin level will not be listed in this section and the “centiMorgans” in common should only include segments of 5.0 or more. (13 Aug. 2017)

  The above atDNA is NOT a potential triangulation group and appears to be from "opposite" sides of the chromosomes (e.g. one connection is from maternal side of participant's family and the other side is from the paternal side of the participant's family).

y-DNA Matching Between Members (Male Only Test)
Participant #446455 (Rondy Braswell) has taken a 37 marker yDNA test and genetically matches the following Kent males (listed in order of estimated genetic distance, then by established descendants). (13 Sep. 2017)
Established descendants of William Kent, Sr. , b c 1783 NC d c 1870 m Sarah "Sally" KENT at Wilkes, GA:
• A genetic match of 37 out of 37 markers (a zero-step difference) with Participant #73106 (S.D. Kent for J. Baucom). FTDNA’s “TIP” Calculator estimates a 83.49% chance of a common male ancestor within 4 generations, 93.29% chance of a common male ancestor within 6 generations, and a 97.28% chance of a common male ancestor within 8 generations.


• A genetic match of 37 out of 37 markers (a zero-step difference) with Participant #342694 (J. Kent for Chris Chamberlain). FTDNA’s “TIP” Calculator estimates a 83.49% chance of a common male ancestor within 4 generations, 93.29% chance of a common male ancestor within 6 generations, and a 97.28% chance of a common male ancestor within 8 generations.


• A genetic match of 36 out of 37 markers (a one-step difference) with Participant #542491 (M. Kent).
