Does anyone have any NESBITT family members in their database that lived in the Augusta, GA area 1850 - 1910? My name is Blackstone, but my Y-chromosome DNA is linked to the NESBITT lineage. My guess is that this is from illegitimacy or adoption. It could be that the parents of a male NESWBITT child died and the child was raised by a Blackstone family and the child took on the Blackstone surname. Here are a few of my Blackstone ancestors:

James Coleman Blackstone (spoke Indian)
b. July 22, 1863, Augusta, GA
d. March 10, 1933, Augusta, GA
married to Susan "Suzie" Ann Hutto

Zephaniah M. "Dock", "Zeptha" Blackstone (gunsmith to Native Americans)
Richmond Factory Guards, Barney's Company(Civil War), Augusta, GA
b. 1837, GA
d. After 1890
1'st wife: Behethlan "Hetty" ELLIS
2nd wife: Amanda E. Thomas, Columbia County, GA

Any help would be appreciated.

James (Jim) Otto Blackstone III
