I completed a DNA test for my mothers, mothers, mothers etc., line, and the results are surprising. The line I traced is the wife of my ancestor Charles Lewis, who was a Free Person of Color in Colonial Virginia. Charles, and his brother Ambrose joined the Revolutionary War out of Fredericksburg. The DNA Test I took came back 87% European, 8% Native American, and 5% African. I am surprised that my ancestor, who was a Mulatto would be 87% European. I certainly thought she would be more Native, African or a mixture of all three. I have been in contact with some of my DNA Cousins, who are assisting me in finding other European ancestors. The countries my cousins are found in is Germany, France, Estonia, and England (Wales). I do not know what my ancestors surname was but those contacting me have mentioned Cocke, Webb, Blevins, and Bolling. The area that these ancesters lived in is now Wythe County. My Revolutionary War ancestor, Charles Lewis owned property in the City of Richmond, and Henrico County. His wife, Susanna is mentioned in some of the deeds I have (they purchased property in Rockets Land in the City of Richmond). However, I am not certain that this Susanna is the mother of Nancy (Charles daughter, and my direct ancestor). Anyway, it is all quite interesting, and I am communicating with a DNA cousin who lives near Perth Australia.
