Something interesting came up recently. I had a phonecall from Sherrol Landon of Idaho. He carries the Landon name and his earliest KNOWN ancestor was John Landon of southern Ohio. He and many cousins have tried to connect John into the earlier eastern US Landon families. Several years ago he (and I agree) thought he just may be descended from William Landon of the NJ family. It would have to be through Wm's second wife, Catherine. There are some good reasons for this possibility but no proof can be found so far.
So Sherrol has decided to try DNA. He asked if I had an address for any direct male descendant of William Landon. Even though online genealogy is a great step forward for researchers, we all have the problem of constantly changing online addresses. My addresses are almost all out of date.
Can anyone help? Any direct male descendants of William Landon of NJ? I would be interested to hear of others who have already tried DNA genealogy and what conclusions they have come to.
