	A number of factors have confounded genealogists trying to prove his ancestry. One of these factors was that Col. William adopted a coat of the arms of the Westmorland family, suggesting a relationship~~. However, this has since been proven to be incorrect~~. In the back of the book "Claiborne of Virginia: Descendants of Colonel William Claiborne: the first eight generations" by John Frederick Dorman there is a letter from the College of Arms in England which states, definitively, that the College of Arms never formally issued a grant of arms of Col. William. This casts doubt on the connection to Westmorland. The DNA evidence severs all ideas of a ''genetic'' connection to the Westmorland family.

The DNA evidence severs all ideas of a ''genetic'' connection to the Westmorland family, however it does not rule out the possibility that Col. William or his father was adopted by the Westmorland family.

	To explain the DNA evidence in detail would take many paragraphs, so I will go in depth on that topic on a separate page. For the purpose of this page, I will summarize: Col. William's family is of haplogroup I-M170 and the Westmorland group is haplogroup R-M269~~. If that's confusing, dont worry, Ill explain in detail later~~. The important thing to know right now is that the Most Recent Common Ancestor for these two families lived appximately 50,000 years ago. Given a 25 year generation span, that's 2,000 generations ago.		To explain the DNA evidence in detail would take many paragraphs, so I will go in depth on that topic on a separate page.
