- This DNA line claims to connect to the two Samuels (jr. and Sr.) of Floyd Co., KY. through a 3rd younger Samuel L Dennis, b 1789. However researchers on the KY lines have provided information about this "Samuel L." I only have three desendants for Samuel Jr. with two of those males: Mathias b. 1798 and John Y (Yocum). b. 1801 .
