Group 1 - Participants P-2, P-5, P-8, P-11, and P-13.  The Group 1 participants represent descendants of the Worcester Co, MD (or “Eastern Shore”) Perdues.  They are a different family from the Virginia Perdues/Pardues, as shown by the DNA results.  The common ancestor of all of the Maryland Perdues appears to be John Perdue, b ca 1675; d 1744.  He appears to have had two documented sons, George (b ca 1720) and John (b ca 1725).  However, it seems necessary to postulate at least one more son, perhaps named James, in order to account for all of the Perdues showing up in the tax and census records in the 1770-90 period in Worcester Co, MD.  This Perdue family is summarized in the book, Our Family Heritage:  The Perdues of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, by Edward M. Perdue, Gateway Press, Baltimore, 1988.

Group 2 - Participants P-1, P-3, P-4, P-7, P-10, P-14, P-15, P-16, P-17, P-18, P-19, P-20, and P-24.  The common ancestor for all of this group was probably the father or grandfather of three Perdues who appear in the early Virginia records, John, Richard, and William.  There are no records connecting these three Perdues, but the DNA evidence shows that two participants whose lines go back to Chesterfield Co, VA, and who are not descended from John Perdue, match those who are descended from John.  This supports the idea, but does not prove, that John, Richard, and William were brothers (for example, they could have been first cousins).
