New DNA Matches with Ancestor Hints at ANCESTRY

OK. Pushed into a new family by Ancestry DNA. Now I am supposedly part of the Pleasant Howard and Abigail Wright group. They are connected to the Swafford/Lee families through the Howards, but I am not sure closely enough for the amount of DNA we share.

I was able to cross reference and found Raphael Francis Andrews and did some work with our mutual matches.

Looking at our Generational Matix got me wondering, why are there no 3rd generation people?  I have 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 but no 3's. 

I am gonna have to run some tests and see if that is significant. If there were out of wedlock children, that might make sense or very small families. I also expect that the immigrants are going to limit the number of generational matches I should get, but the families that have been in the country for hundreds of years should be pretty flush.
