Mapping the Presidential Adams related lines via DNA

I ran across this chart http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jswdna/adamschart... from the larger DNA mapping project of potentially related Adams lines here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jswdna/adamsresul...
and thought it might be a fun little project to figure out the genealogies of the DNA "proven" lines here on geni. William William Adams, of Trent & Somerton 1555 ap Richard ap John is a direct yDNA ancestor of William Lysander Adams according to my research, so I'll tie that in to what I've found on geni and elsewhere in terms of the family tree of A114 and then work my way from left to right.

Here's the A114 line, basically... though there are a lot of side branches which can be filled in, particularly since three of the children of William R. Adams, Sr. married three Brown siblings.

Helen Keller descended from a branch of the Adams family related to the A114 line

oops, the A114 line has been refuted genetically, something I didn't see when I did all the work above. I suspect the weak link may be Benjamin Adams
