Thank you Doug for your insight and ideas that will develop into a working data base.  After reasoning with the Beasley/Beezley/Beesley yDNA results and the actual mutation rates, I feel that your Blue Group are very close to a common ancestor.  Very Close!  New Bern was a very important step for our research and the Family Tree DNA data base is as important.  While in New Bern, we cleared a lot of mis-info within our group which will clear the way for a true linage for each group.  The Beasley's of Essex County, VA in the 1750's are of the R1a1 Haplogroup and not in our ball park of yDNA or no way related in 1000's of years. 

I know that the Green Group which is my Austin Beasley Sr's group goes back to the year he was born or 1755 and then Austin Sr. buying land in Duplin County, NC in 1776.  Until we have someone in England/Ireland/Scotland with the surname Beesley/Beasley/Beezley who will take the yDNA test, my line starts there so what I can do to help your Blue Group search is to continue looking for early leads and try to piece the linage info of our group as it comes across my screen.

Many of the Blue Group thought that their ties were in Craven County, NC with John Beasley b: c1685 d: 1755.  Former SC Governor David M. Beasley comes from John Beasley's line found in Darlington, SC who was thought to be the son of Solomon Beesley Sr. b: c1707 d: 1791 Craven County, NC but I now think and per what I had found, David's - John was born in VA and not the Beasley Island Beasley's.  Gary's - Beasley's of Covington County, AL start of with Edmond Beasley b: 1749 through his son Solomon Beasley b: 1772.  I think that Edmond was born in VA or northern NC so I do think that VA in the 1600's holds the key to your common ancestor.  Former AL Lt. Gov. Jere Beasley comes from John Giles Beasley's brother William Martin Beasley through Richard Beasley of NC.  We had thought that Richard came from William Beasley of Essex County, VA b: 1634 England who was in VA in 1658 and all 3 of these Beasley's share your yDNA.  Now with the R1b1 yDNA test result found in Essex County, VA, in 1750 this opens a new arena but we still don't know.  From 1658 to 1750 is 92 years of people being shipped across the Atlantic.
