John William Golden (Golding) Richard Golden from Ardstraw

Was John William Golden senior  1675 -1749 Tyrone the father of John Golden and Richard Golden?

Here in the USA me and my blood uncle have genetically tested positive for Tyrone county Ireland. We also have it from family lore that thats were we are from. Also that a Richard Golden aka Golding was our ancestor from Ireland in the 1700's.  If the above John and Richard were brothers it could be that one of them was the Grandfather of a Richard Golden born in 1815 in upstate South Carolina USA, 5 to 20 miles from Georgia, results below. I have been searching Richard of the 1700's and have not made a definate connection. I hope I can find more about John Golden, he may be our Richard of 1815's grandfather.

I am Helen Golden Cole, in my 60's,. My uncle is Paul Golden Junior in his 80's. I live in Oconee County  South Carolina, my uncle lives in Atlanta GA. Finding out the actual city, Ardstraw, is facinating. Tried to paste what I have found so far, and no go.

More research is needed on these Goldens. Other than family lore from a genealogy informally published in the 1980s, there is no evidence or any genealogy older than the 1980s indicating that the Richard Golding/Golden line came from either Ardstraw, Ireland or from anywhere in Ireland.

Extensive YDNA testing has been done on these Goldens and related Golden families. These are YDNA haplotype 'G2a' Goldens. There is a secondary line of Goldens that do claim descent from John William Golden 1725-1801 and that is the Mark Golden line born c1762 in Georgia. Family lore and a number of genealogies claim that John William Golden came from Virginia, and may have born a Gwaltney (Gualmey, Gualney). The Gwaltneys are of Welsh descent and the G2a YDNA of male Goldens from this line very closely identify with a small area in Wales. 

The area of Virginia where the Gwaltneys and John William Golden alledgely came from was heavily settled by Welsh settlers, to include my own family. It was not uncommon among Welsh males to take on whatever name they wanted.

While I am a Golden, am not a G2a but a R1b, my line arrived in Virginia as Keelings. I am however related to the G2a Goldens via intermarriage and constantly in contact with several of their family historians.
