Y-Chromosome DNA for tracing male genetic line. Y-Haplogroup R1b1c9 (R1b1b2g) mtDNA Haplogroup T1 Y-DNA tests for three descendants of John Robertson are in the FamilyTreeDNA and Ysearch databases. There were many Robertsons in early Kentucky from different families, some Scot and some English or Welsh. Surnames often are the same in unrelated families. The Y-DNA from descendents of other Robertson families when compared with ours adds to our understanding of the documented history by either confirming or eliminating ancestral relative candidates. Please contact me if you know of any Robertson who is descended from early KY, NC, VA and has had the Y-DNA test done. That can quickly rule in or out any male of being in our direct line.
