Could Thomas Jefferson's DNA Trail Reveal Middle-Eastern Origins?

Thomas Jefferson and the rest of the Jefferson clan in the British Isles may have descended from a Phoenician merchant family that set up a trading post up there.

Maybe the Lebanese (many of whom trace their ancestry to the Phoenicians) will get more interested in Jefferson’s thought if they realize he may share a direct, fairly recent common patrilineal ancestor.

And, of course, the finding lends a whole new meaning to the phrase “Americans of Middle Eastern descent”!
