Thanks Kiltaglassan & lmgnz (Linda)

Linda, thanks for clearing that up. What I want to do is create a few trees with Colhoun family's of Donegal, preferably not Y-dna R-lines and pad them out where possible and attempt to find a female name line connection. I have read Brian's post and wounded if this was the same family hence my inquiry as to where you have been tested. But if we were I think you would have been well on this by now. I live in hope I will get a Autosomal stretch to 1750's -> coming from Ireland and can built a bigger picture. I have done this before with my partner who was rumoured to be a descendant of major general William Heath. I managed to map multiple DNA back to his descendants so all you need is a hint to go on and then prove it with DNA. I assume if I do achieve this, it will work out well for everybody else on the E-FT350465 line. I'm still trying to map as much common DNA with other Colquhoun cousins as possible, eliminating any Colhoun links. So far there is only one stubborn line that goes to Robert Murphy 🧬 DNA CONNECTION B:7 Apr 1798 Limerick, Ireland. But I cant link all these matches (some even common with my son) to the Colquhoun tree. Its possible its a Maternal side and doesn't link to Colhouns of ireland at all. But until I find that new tester to bring it all together its going to be a hard slog. I am still of the opinion it was probably a traveling Colquhoun and a illegitimate child to Anne Murray Widow B:abt 1796 Raphoe, Donegal, Ireland
D:21 Jul 1862 Cockle Creek, New South Wales, Australia.
Thanks again for all your help Linda.

@lmgnz (Linda)
I am interested in your story of the Colhouns of Londonderry.

I'm not sure how to get in contact with you. You are some of my story.

The Colquhoun / Colhoun STOREY, goes back to Ireland dating 1779.
Here (for now) it ends, not knowing where John Colquhoun/Colhoun (convict) b. 1820 Raphoe, Lisclamerty, County Donegal and his mother Ann Murray (Mothers maiden name Earl) B. Abt 1780 Raphoe, Donegal, Ireland (also a chicken/fowl/foul stealing convict) came from after they were sent to Australia in 1839 on separate ships.
 
 
We have many Colhoun ancestors in Ireland & Calhouns in the US but no way of knowing how they quite literally missed the boat.
 
I am Y-DNA tested E-M35 Haplogroup E-FT350465 (est 500 year ago link) Currently researching a link using DNA back to somewhere around Rev Alexander Colhoun of Crosh House estate B.1662 or directly further back to Sir John, XIII Colquhoun, 15th Laird of Luss, Lord of Dumbarton B:1523 Scotland.
