Jacob Tapscott

I had a nice email from Ben Ames calling my attention to a yDNA match I had to his uncle on Family Tree DNA. With the information Ben gave me I was able to fit his line into the Tapscott family tree (see the tree "Descendants of Henry Tapscott the Immigrant" on Ancestry.com). Ben is descended from Jacob Tapscott, one of the Clark County Illinois Tapscotts. I am descended from Jacob's brother William Tapscott. We are both of the Edney line.
