I'm the descendant (KKUTA) of John Leigh 1792 - 1867. The "c" can now be removed from "c1792" I tested for 67 markers, not 66 as given in the description. One marker came back "null" which I think means I don't have that marker at all so no value can be assigned to it. I remember having difficulty noting that when sending my marker values to ysearch so perhaps that's why the 66 is shown instead of 67. I now believe that my surname "Leigh" came from a female ancestor, Phoebe Leigh, mother of John Leigh 1792-1867, who gave birth to John as a "singlewoman." My evidence for this belief is all circumstantial, but there's a lot of it.
