It appears they may fall under different haplogroups, indicating not all of them are actually patrilinal descendants of Francis West. One grouping of three individuals has someone taking the FamilyFinder test and has been found to be positive for R1b-U106, while a second grouping of five individuals has one person taking Y111 STR test and plugging in the 111 Y STRs into the [https://nevgen.org NevGen Haplogroup Predictor tool] (set for R1b) gives a result of: R1b-U152>L2>Z49>Z142>Z150>CTS9490 with a 67.67% probability. There is a third grouping of two individuals who have only tested Y37 STR predicted to fall under R1b-M269.
