Note that although these SNPs indicate a descent from a specific individual, in most cases there may be other lines of descent from this individual which do not carry the SNP. The exception is S781, since Sir John Stewart of Bonkyl has been confirmed as a SNP progenitor, therefore all his male line descendants should carry the SNP.
