As noted above many of my surnames have DNA tested in Y Surname Projects. My paternal line Franklin surname is haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1b4.(ISOGG correct haplogroup is R1b1a2a1a1b3b, also known as L21+ CTS6919+). While my maternal line haplogroup is K1a4 and documentation for me on my mt line runs as Byrd, Sullivan, Sullivan, Wilson, Christmas. .
