However, Eleanor is said to have been the mother of Thomas Evans b. 1710 d. 1774. His direct Y-chromosome passed from male to male is White, and typical for Wales.
Perhaps, Eleanor had a son with a slave, and that was Morris, and had another son with a Welsh man, white, and that was Evans, but both sons used the Evans name.
Any comments? I am from the THomas Evans 1710-1774.

Look at the FIRST group which includes Morris Evans.
Sept. 19, 2011-DW For years, it was thought that MORRIS EVANS may have been of Welsh descent, but a few days ago I was contacted by a direct descendant who had DNA tests done and it was proved that the family was of African descent. Following is the portion of the message discussing the results: "Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2011 12:33 PM Subject: Regarding the Ancestral Origins of Morris Evans (b. 1675) My name is G. Evans. I am a direct descendant of Morris Evans as follows: Morris (b.1675) Charles (b. 1696) Richard (b. 1740) Richard (b. 1776) Fielding (b. 1812) George (b. 1853) Charles Robert (b. 1889) George Maze (b. 1915) Preston (b. 1933) I am the 7x great grandson of Morris (b. 1675) and his direct patrilineal descendant. As a result, I carry a near identical y-chromosome package. I recently had a Y-Chromosome DNA test done. The results of that test were unambiguous. I am positive for a SNP marker that indicates that my patrilineal line originates in West Africa and specifies my haplogroup as E1B1a. Heavy concentrations of this haplogroup are found among the Mandenka and Yoruba. I also had a mitochondrial DNA test done that indicated an admixture that is 73% African (Mandenka/Yuroba) and 27% European (Orkney Islands/Scots, Eastern European). This mixture obviously represents genetic contributions from both of my parents. These results indicate that Morris (b. 1675) was of African descent on his father's side. His father could have not been English/Welsh... ...I am also willing to share the test results with you as documentation. The testing was done by Family Tree DNA, the premier firm in this field." 2 3 Change Date: 11 Apr 2016 at 15:52:08
