An update some of the branches of Charles County McPherson's have been tested (two). My uncle John Wesley McPherson and Venus Routh's nephew (and brother to Beth Frost) Scott McPherson have tested for Daniel's branch if we could find someone from Richard's line (brother to Alexander) that would be great. Beth, Venus and I are working hard to sort out some recent developments in these families. I believe someone has tested for William's branch as well. It would be very useful for another descendant of William to test if there is one out there not from the same family member. There is a McPherson DNA Surname Group at www.familytreedna.com that has started sorting McPherson branches through DNA I believe there are over 50 participants at this point. We have found some interesting information from this DNA study concerning Charles County, Maryland McPherson's. Anyone interested in helping sort out the branches of Charles County and anyone with any questions feel free to contact me, I will be happy to share what we have found so far.
