I would suggest that there are Carys in IofW/Shmptn and in Surry/Sussex.   As to going upon the mans land for ANY private purpose, it is necessary that you gain the permission of the owner (or lessee/renter) if the owner is not occupying the place.  As to the DNA that might be retrieved by sinking a small hole and bringing up some of the remnants of him, I have NO knowledge.


Genealogy without documentation is nothing.

  Subject: [VA-ROOTS] DNA


  Speaking of DNA: I have a brick wall with my ancestry of the Nansemond
  County Area. I have documentation back to 1745 with the Cary's that were
  living in this area; unfortunatly Nansemond is a burnt county.

  Mylles Cary is the immigrant that I have long suspected is the lineage for
  the Nansemond County Cary's, but I need proof. Mylles is buried at the
  site of his Windmill Point plantation, but I'm not sure how I would go
  about getting a sample of his DNA for analysis.

  His tomb sits on private property, and I'm not certain what steps I would
  need to do to undertake this task. Is there an organization that will
  perform this task for historical infomation, would I need some kind of
  legal approval?

  Suggestions???
