      the dna profile for two matching descendants from George Pack of Montgomery County, Maryland. The link is:
      http://www.familytreedna.com/public/pack/default.aspx?section=yresults

      If a person can locate a male surname Pack descendant from William Pack Sr., obtain a test, and compare the results to files number 23124 and 59406 we can possibly prove that William Pack Sr. was descended from George Pack, pre our reserach. A match would prove a relationship.
      ===
      Danny Pack, a direct descendent of our Thomas Pack b 1805 line, recently received his yDNA results. He appears to me to be an exact match to 23124 & 59406 of the George Pack 1700-1754 family.

      Thomas is found in Burke co, NC; McMinn co, TN; Union co, GA; Cherokee co NC; Polk co, TN; Shooting Creek, Cherokee co, NC. His first wife was Artilissie Millie Hawkins. His second wife was Elizabeth McGlothen (Eliza McAllister). My fact sheet on Thomas is: http://person.ancestry.com/tree/80301507/person/44422143710/facts
