The speculation about possible new knowledge about a potential origin and
lineage for John of Middlesex is interesting but may be premature. Has anyone
considered the following?

The DNA results obtained to-date seem to show a group of four (4) who share a
common ancestor. Three (3) of these claim decent from John of Middlesex and
another has documented a decent from Shropshire England. The results do not
show who that common ancestor may be.

There is a single person, #6281, who claims decent from John of Middlesex whose
DNA results show he is NOT part of the above group. He is depicted on the DNA
Results page as Group 1. The above four are depicted as Group 2.

Who is to say which Group is TRULY descended from John of Middlesex?

Is it not possible that #6281 is the only one TRULY descended from him?

How strong is the evidence of the three (3) above who claim this decent? Is the
evidence for #6281 stronger?

What happens when three (3) future participants fall into Group 1?

Can we make any firm conclusions about his origins or lineage on so small a
group?
