To the right there are six screenshots of a mutually matching group except for Mumma and Reynolds. But Reif has two matches and I have one and the 3 seem to be related to each other. Reif and I also match two different Reynolds who seem to be related to each other. Reif also has a Robinson match and I have a few of them. My Robinson connection is most likely Ar10 John Armistead who is on my maternal grandmother's paternal line, but Robinson is also a Sept of Clann Gunn, of which I have Wilson and Jamison.

There may be one pair of common ancestors for all of us or there may be two or more ancestors on different sides that some of share Ronnie Reynolds is a double descendant of John Workman, brother of James Workman Wo6 who is in my paternal grandmother's maternal line.
Wahle also has Kentucky ancestors.
Roach has Walker ancestors, which I have in collateral lines more particularly off my quadruple Taylor lines all of which are in my maternal grandmother's quarter and are typified by the short match to the right of the break on chromosome 12. Wahle's match there is just to the right of the usual Taylor range and may my Gilbert DNA on my paternal chr 12 instead of on my maternal chr 12.

However Reif's screenshots show a match of four with her on chr 7 and of the fifth and two of these four on chr 2.
The very short match to the left of the break also occurs in many of my matches, in particular Taylor descendants but it may come in on some other line farther down on Taylor.

Sharon Peach says a Cress ancestor in the Terrill/Tyrell line was Jane Melisa Terrill born about 1845 in Vermont, USA to David Terrill (b. about 1815 VT) and Emelia/Emma C. Unknown (born about 1816 VT). Jane had two brothers – William H. Terrill and Henry Terrill (also born in VT). Jane M Terrill married Robert S. McLean in Hancock CO, IL. They eventually moved to Kansas.
The shorter matches of Cress with Stapleton, Burke and Day on chr 1, 10 and 12 indicate common ancestors for the five of us. The lack of a match for Malone with any of the others except Cress makes me ask if they both match each other or whether one is on my paternal chromosome and the other on my maternal one.
Geraldine Burke shows an Armistead which I have in my Carter line. As this is a rather singular family name, I would expect Stapleton and Day to have Armisteads somewhere too.

The other matches between 2 or three of them on other chromosomes seem to establish mutual ancestry.
Hyatt also has some Brereton ancestors, although mine are much farther back. And he hs two Hobson lines, while I also have a maternal Hobson lines off my Cary line about G10. He also has Fry in London, while my Frye came from Alsace. He has a Garland of Delaware, mine from Virginia. He has a Womack line, as does another match of mine, although I do not. He also has a Humphries and Harris line. He has a Bledsoe line that an Anne Jennings married into, while my Jennings family has a Katherine Jennings b about 1770 marrying Benjamin Bledsoe. His Anne may be an unnamed daughter of unaccounted for one Te7-2 in my pedigree. His Tyrrell line may be related to them too, but there are other findings. and his Burrill/Burrell might be related to my Burwells, as might his Wests.
Tye is also a descendant of Richmond Terrell by his son William and grandson, John Terrell, who married Elizabeth Harrison, dau of Nathaniel Harrison and Mary Cary.

But to the right, we see that Tye also shares a match with me and two Nowegians Dahling and Nordbye on chr 1 while sharing a short match with one of the two Hvidstens on chr 15. This seems to be due to either descent from Scottish-Viking clans or English-Norman descent or from the Taylor-Swinderby marriage which turns up 4 times in my maternal grandmother's ancestry and is discussed below under chr 12 and chr 22 in connection with a match with the Norwegian, Terje Myhrvold.

To the far right we see Hyatt's perspective: I have a definitive common match group of Brock, Eaton, Jury, Lauer and Brixhoff. Lauer shows Taylor ancestry and Edwards ancestry and the match with her on chr 22 looks like it is from Margaret Swinderby, the wife of Thomas Taylor. My double Pope line has an Edwards marrying in on a collateral line which would not bring a common ancestor, but if a Tucker or Pope married into her Edwards line it would. so we may expect such a marriage in her ancestry. Brock shows , also ancestors of my Popes. Tucker/Allerton ancestry.
The long match with Eaton and Brixhoff on chr 2 is, however, most phenominal: the former's father was of Cherokee descent while the latter shows a decent from Jane Rolfe, the granddaughter of Pocahontas. As my maternal grandfather's Bland/Pope line also has two Duncan/Gallop/Bryant/Wahanganoche lines we are looking at a possible DNA confirmation of William Deyo's theory that Chief Wahanganoche did indeed marry a grandchild of Pocahontas and Kocoum. Whether Eaton's match is somewhere off my line of descent or off Brixhoff's or off some Cherokee assimilation of Potawomack survivors or from earlier intermarriage among these tribes remains to be seen. Before drawing any conclusions, a look at the genes involved is necessary to evaluate whether they are actually native American Powhatan or in reality Caucasian. Then other possibilities of common ancestors have to be ruled out. The length of the matching segment is phnenominally long for a distance of 13 generations to Pocahontas.
To the far right we see more matches in the this possible Powhatan segment on chr 2 as well as the typical Taylor segment of chr 12.

To the right Day is compared with Davidson and Davis

To the right the names offered by Stewart Nelson are Nelson, Thomas and Dye which occur in some collateral lines and Brooks twice directly in my maternal grandmother’s quarter. Williams is a direct ancestor in my maternal grandfather’s paternal 8th. I suspect there is also a connection between this Williams and the George Williams who married Jean/Jane Pope b 1699/1715 d Apr 1732 in Overwarton Parish, Stafford Co Va

The match with him on chr 22 has been associated with Viking descent via the marriage of Thomas Taylor to the Danish Margaret Swinderby, but also via various Scottish clans of Viking descent, in my case Cumming.

Donachie shares many of my maternal grandmother's lines, moat closely Fontaine more likely seen on chr 6, but also Sprigg and Nuthall, which may be the match on chr 5.

Further to the right: Crandall shows Randall, Stephenson, Strange, Wade, West

To the right, she finds only Hamilton - another Fontaine descendant descended from William Maury Fontaine - as a common match.

Michael Williams shows also Harris and Davenport as common ancestors: the former is a great grandmother for me, the latter far more remote. The Williams are probably also Pope descendants via George Williams who married Jean/Jane Pope b 1699/1715 d Apr 1732 in Overwarton Parish Va.

Only feed back from these test persons will resolve whether these matches are on the same chromosome of that number or some on my maternal chromosome and some on the paternal.

Richard Edward Chancey’s tree offers only Williams, Carter, Wright as names for a common ancestor with me, and all fairly remote, which is not surprising with the comparatively short matching segment. Wright I have paternally the others maternally. He may descend from George Williams who married Jean/Jane Pope b 1699/1715 d Apr 1732 in Overwarton Parish Va.

Thomas Barnes shows a Garland in his maternal line, which I have in a few places, but again rather remote among both maternal grandparents. A more complete tree might reveal other names though. Both my parents were from Kentucky too.

Lisa Kay Hughes ventures no names other than Hughes, which does occur in a few collateral lines of my maternal grandmother’s family. And Margaret Elaine Brixhoff’s short list fails to ring a bell with me.

We will probably have to wait until another match or two turns up with more complete pedigrees.

There is a DNA match on chromosome 2 with Michael Cory Hyatt together with about 9 other samples all with varying degrees of segment overlapping. His extensive family tree offers many possible sources. The Wilson line may have a common ancestor in England though apparently not in Virginia. I have several Brereton connections far back in England. Hobson and West are the only other names we have in common with Samuel Eaton. My Frye line came over PA from Alsace. We also share Garland with another of these. And I have 3 Moores, Humphries, Harris,.

Arnstein Ingulf Olsen shows only a few rather Scandanavian names, which could be my Margaret Swinderby born in Copenhagen or along any of my Norman lines, which Michael Hyatt obviously has as well, snd hence Samuel Eaton too. The extension of the latter's chr 2 match to the left

Michael George Mackey has a short list of names that do not fit in with the others, although I have a McKay among my Prathers, and Elkins as a collateral line of my Patawomeck pedigree.

At present it seems that the right part of the matches goes back to Taylor and Swinderby while the left part is a regrouping around the Carter - Cary marriage or the Nicholas - Smith marriage or the Nicholas - Prather marriage which goes back maternally to my only McKay.

If this is all on my maternal side then the match on 4 with Eaton probably is too

Daniel Francis Smith matches me an several others on chr 22 in a range suspected of being inherited from the thomas Taylor/Margaret Swinderby marriage s.b. On chr 2 he seems to match Hyatt and Mackey and on chr 7 he seems to match Arlene Rose Taylor

Bruce and Tye match each other

Michael V Rogers shows his male line and the names of their spouses, the first being Vera louise Sutton, the secon Callie Pearl Green.

I do have Suttons and Greenes in various places 12 to 25 generations back, but the two other maternal line may have other names in maternal branchings as well.

My Maternal grandfather’s mother was a Harris of Bagdad Ky. But I cannot see your family names, nor for Darlene Faye Hatch, nor Betty Jean Markus. 

James Miller Ross shows a splendid array of Scottish names that do not match mine except for Miller in Fauquier Co Va about 1740, where my Harris line may have come from and where I have a Miller on the maternal side of Kenton about 1730.

My maternal grandfather’s mother was a Harris of Bagdad Ky. But I cannot see your family names, nor for Darlene Faye Smotherman, nor Betty Jean Markus.

James Miller Ross shows a splendid array of Scottish names that do not match mine except for Miller in Fauquier Co Va about 1740, where my Harris line may have come from and where I have a Miller on the maternal side of Kenton about 1730.

To ther right are several comparisons matching me on chr 3, the long match with Sears indicates a closer relationship than with Bittner and Lowe Stephanie Harris with a short match ther for Dirker.

The matches on chr 12 and 22 reveal Taylor (or alternatively Gilbert) and respectively Taylor/Swinderby descent. And Dickerson does show Taylor ancestry as well as Terrell (this seems to be the longer match along chr 11), Carter, Bruce, Payne, Wade, Cooke and Smith plus my collaterals Pendleton, Scrope, Page, Harrison, Walton, Reynolds, Page and Edwards.
Sears shows a number of names that might match directly or collaterally: Anderson, Andrews, Frye, Harris, Howard, Lawrence, Mayo, Miller, Mitchell, Montgomery, Molines, Payne, Reed, Richmond, Scott?, Smith, Southworth, Stevenson, Stiles, Stockton, Stratton, Thurston, Traylor, Webb, West, Wilson. Of these Frye, on my side, was in Switzerland then Alsace and after the revocation of the Edict of Nante went to Pennsylvania. Other branches of the family may have moved to Prussia or Eastern Europe. My paternal Gilbert family of French Hugenot origin was in Sinsheim Germany after where some branches stayed while my branch came to Pennsylvania and still others may have moved to southern Russia or Poland and assimilated similarly. His Edward Thurston b 1617 Cambridge m Elizabeth Mott may be nephew of my double ancestor, Malachias Thruston; his Anderson line has a Spencer Beverly Anderson, while I have several collateral Annderson lines but have not been able to establish either of these highly likely connections. Spencer as a first name also indicates a descent from the family of this name, and I have a paternal Workman ancestor of this name I have not been able to trace to them yet and a double Jennings line, that definitely have Payne roots and that I suspect of descending from the Jannings family in England related to the Spencers.

Kilian shows Cline from Alsace which is the area where both Gilbert and Frye passed through.
The short matches on chr 12 have been associated with Taylor descent on my maternal side and Gilbert on my paternal side.

Stafan Froehlich writes "Peter Penner is my grandfather (father's father). I have three Mennonite lines (paternal Penner/ Peters) and my mother`s Mother (Rempel). The ancestors of my Froehlich grandfather were protestants and lived in Volhyn; Ukraine, and in Poland. I know little of my grandfathers paternal ancestors. His grandparents (Peter Penner (1855-?) and Helene Enns) were born in the Mennonite Molotschna, Ukraine, before the moved to Siberia. The surname Penner comes from the Netherlands. 80 % of the Mennonite Penner are related to each other. The y-dna haplogroup indicates, that our ancestor came from Spain or Northafrica to the Netherlands. About my grandfather's mothers (Helene Penner, nee Janzen), I know much more. A Johann Janzen was married to Anna Buller. The Buller line lived in the Mennonite Przechowka (westprussia) congregation 200 years. Heinrich Buller (1580) moved from Switzerland about Moravia to Przechowa, Westprussia. My other Mennonite ancestors from Przechowa (Cornelsen/ Unruh, Richerts) came from the Netherlands. (Schmidt/ Becker/ Fuhrmann) were Lutheran protestants in Westprussia before they become Mennonites. At Family finder I have no direct match to Lewis, Shortridge, Fenshaw, McCrimmon, Armstrong and Waren.".

To the far right there are three screenshot with Briley, Foehlich, Gray, Graybeal L´Heveder Olsen Nicholson and Penner.
Penner has a Krehbiel but not Grabeal and a different Briley and a different Nicholson, that is three pairs who seem to be related to each other but do not match us both.
Unfortunately, the ancestral data on these is as yet still insufficient to determine common ancestors.

Austin Jerry Ray has only Willson as bell ringer among the 10 names he shows. While I have Wilson as a maternal line off Cary. If this is the source the other two must have some connection here too. But there is David Hamilton Wilson as a collateral line in the Frye pedigree who married Elizabeth Davis Ewalt 1818-1897, which seems more likely, especially as her sisters also married his apparent brothers, as well as her brother married the three brother's sister, among another dozen Frye - Wilson liasons in this pedigree.

Elizabeth Smith has Buchanon and Thurston and her Nees may be my Neaves. Buchanon is the mother of my aforesaid Smith and Thurston is a variant of Thruston which come in two genertions later on my Nicholas line.

For Van Edward Garrett there is also little offered (coincidence that my paternal grandmother’s father was named after US Congressman Garrett Davis – no relation) but his Garret ancestor married a Walton while my paternal great grandmother Susan Jane Mitchell was the daughter of Charlotte Hester, whose presumed aunt married a Walton and they moved from Virginia to the area of Brooksville Ky. I believe the next generation of that family was in Illinois. So this match seems to be on the second of chromosome pair 4, which might explain some of these overlappings.

Some information from David Allen Ralls would help too, as would from Gaylord David Alfrey and Elena Marie Lasker.

Maria L Doyle shows a few names, but none help me.

I have found the name Austin as a collateral line of my double Pope line as well as in the Bland/Pope part of the pedigree (2 of my gr grandfather, Thomas Pope Bland's sisters married Austins).

Laur's paternal line shows only Lawr in Ontario, where I have no ancestors. But Neitzer in Darmstadt rings a geographical historical bell. My maternal grandfather’s grandmother was a Jamison and her line includes the Calvinist Frye family driven from Alsace by Louis XIV to Pennsylvania. But not all Alsatian Protestants left for America and siblings may have preferred the shorter trip across the Rhine where countless Hugenots were gratefully received after the 30 Years War had reduced the German population from 24 million in 1618 to only 6 million in 1648. This is, of course, only one possibility.

Scott Matthew Hamp offers no names except showing that he comes from Flint very near my hometown of Saginaw, but my parents were from Kentucky.

Georgia Kay Cannady offers a few more names that ring no bells, except Texas, which goes with Austin.

Wayne Gayle Austin offers the names Williams, Taylor, Duncan and Miller that ring bells. My Taylor pedigree does show a Robert Taylor b c.1715 VA d 1807 NC m Susannah Anderson. He probably had more than the one son I have included in the pedigree. My immigrant Duncan at www.multiwords.de/genealogy/Du9 James Duncan.html had 4 whom I have no further information on, anyone of whom may have been the father of his Moses Duncan. There is no Moses farther down in my tree for this time. There is a Williams farther down on my Duncan line and then up the Withers line to Jennings and then Williams. This all comes down to my maternal grandfather’s father. This (if the match with you is from Frye) makes it conceivable that genes of both his parents regrouped here to for the longer group of segments that these matches are showing up on chr . Austin may also ba a descendant of George Williams who married Jean/Jane Pope b 1699/1715 d Apr 1732 in Overwarton Parish Va.

To the right Webber is compared with Doyle, Straub, Wandell and Dirker.

Wandell has Priscilla Foote as ancestor, whom I guess to have been a sister of my John Foote b about 1600.

The short matches on chr 1, 10 , 11, 15, 16 and 19 seem to confirm a match of all on the same side, while the characteristic match of Doyle and Drabold on 12 indicate a descent from Rowland Taylor, the martyr, on my mother's side, unless that is a coincidental match in the same range on my father's side too.

On the right

But Wandell has Priscilla Foote as ancestor, whom I guess to have been a sister of my John Foote b about 1600. I also presume that the match on chr 4 comes from the Foote line, as may the one on chr 9. So it remains to learn whether these two matches come over my maternal grandfather's Pope/Foote line or over my maternal grandmother's Pope/Foote line.

To the right we see Cartwright's long match with me also seems to be longer than that of Cannady, and she seems to match Carlisle on 15. But she shows no name in common with my ancestors or collateral lines, although some of hers are also from Kentucky, as mine are.

Dondero has Mitchell, Brown, Smith and Ward ancestors, and White is collateral for me.

Cartwright has Johnson, Carter, Cook, Moore and Richardson ancestors, the latter is rather remote for me and might show as a very short matching segment. Johnson is a collateral line of my multiple Reade lines, 3 Moore women of no know relationship married into three lines in my maternal grandmother's quarter. She also has Carter and Richardson and ther is Cook on my paternal grandfather's side and collaterally on my maternal grandmother's side

To the far right there is a screenshot including a new match with Vaughn, who is a known descendant of John Smith Prather Pr7-4 and Elizabeth Nuthall, a double collateral line of mine, and hence 6th and 7th cousin. Consequently this longer segment in the middle of the right part of chr 4 seems to be Prather/Nuthall DNA.

She does not share the characteristic Taylor segment near the break on chr 12, but Desrage does, with whom she does seem to share a different very short as well as with Dunkin on 12. She also seems to match Dollar on 1 and slightly overlap on 10, who in turn seems to overlap with Dondero on 10, who seems to match Donachie on 3.

Dunkin seems to match Dollar on 16, Dondero on 11 and Donachie on 5 - a range that is longer with both Barrus testees as shown below.

Possible connection Brown, Moore, Taylor

Jennifer Isbell shows a Roland Taylor walker after a long line of Walkers rather inexplicably, but my Taylor pedigree shows the marriage of a Taylor daughter into the Walkers. But she also shows Nichols, which might be my Nicholas line. And there is a Randall and a Robinson here which I also have in my Nicholas quarter. She also has a Moore line, a Harris, Harrison and Brown, all rather remote.

Multiple common ancestors with David Paul Tye can be positively identified: Richmond Terrell and Mary Elizabeth Waters as well as his Harrisons and Carys. Then I see a Montague, which I have a little farther back, and he definitely has my Taylors. I suspect his Hubbs of connecting with my Hobbs before leaving England. Further there is Keen which I have with my Jennings line.

I believe the segments you have in common with David Paul Tye are from Taylor/Harrison and that the part outside your match range is a regroup with Terrell or Hobbs/Hubbs.

Harold Bruce Tanner shows only the names Tanner and Brown, so the latter also has to be considered as a source for the common ancestor(s).

To the right a comparison of the Wallaces with two Whites and Taylor. Mike Wallace has a double White line. This Scottish name is likely to have some relationship to Clan Gunn.

Second to the right, we hav Rice in this comparison, who has Wilson and Drury among her ancestors as well as Davis, which may be a collateral line by my Washington cousins. But her Allison, Roberts and Lindsey lines are also likely to connection with Clan Gunn somewhere back around 1500 AD.

Third to the right, Morgan is likely to be Welsh but shows no details of ancestry.

The short match to the right of the break on 12 has been identified elswhere as DNA inheritance from the martyr, Rowland Taylor.
Tannya Cooper Witter shares two lines of descent from my Terrill pedigree and one of these ancestors married John Henry Grant who descended from my Taylor pedigree, from which I have two descents, making her a quadruple 6th or 7th cousin. The longer match on 5 is more likely Terrill DNA, which indicates the ancestor in common with Boles is probably off a Terrell line.

Hence anyone matching both of us on any gene is likely to have an ancestor along one of these four lines of descent or earlier.

To the right is another comparison with Berryman, Bittner, Boles and Boucher with Straub, a known Taylor and Terrell descendant. Berryman has both the characteristic match on chr 12 for Taylor and on chr 22 for Swinderby while some of his other matches with my that do not fall under Terrell and Taylor seem attributable to my Berryman line, which none of the others seem to share.

To the right we have four schreenshots taken from Witter's perspective clarifying which matches we have in common. The 2 Bakers do not occur in her list although her father was of a line that matches the Y DNA of the Bakers.

Witter, Tye, Straub and Boles are all known Terrell descendants.

Five of us seem to match on chr 2.

For different matches on chromosome 5 Cecil has the same pedigree as the multiple common ancestors with David Paul Tye. Positively identified: Richmond Terrell and Mary Elizabeth Waters as well as his Harrisons and Carys. Then Montague, which I have a little farther back, and Taylor. As seen above with Witter, there seem to be multiple Terrill/Taylor possibilities in this match range. Cecil's Hubbs opossibly my Hobbs before leaving England. Witter also shows two Hubbs descents

Furthermore, there is Keen which I have with my Jennings line.

The match with Masterson in two of Cecil's three match ranges along 5 leads me to suspect that as many as three ancestors may be represented by these three ranges.

To the right we have feed-back from Witter showing much longer overlapping matches with Straub and Boles on chr 5 indicating that the thre are more closely related to each other than to me on the first, then coparing Rice, Day and Morgan with the two of us, and comparing Wallace, Nichols, Williams and Shortridge with us.

To the right Burke shows Smith but otherwise only Virginia and Kentucky names that have geography in common with mine.
Burgess has a Withers line of Stafford Co., VA. Ann Withers married Henry Mauzy. One of their supposed sons is Peter Mauzy Sr. (1751-1841), who died in Fleming Co., KY. Peter's daughter, Elizabeth, married Henry Burgess, his 4th great-grandfather (My mother has at least 8 lines to them or their ancestors). His names Andrews, Harris, Withers, Wilson and Courtney offer possibilities, with second being the nearest on my part.
Burns shows only Brown as a name in common with my ancestors via my mother's Pope lines to Original Brown or over James Brown.
Buell shows Taylor (but lacks the characteristic match on chr12 discussed elsewhere on this site) and Brown.

On the other hand the triple Fontaine descent of Shinvar goes back 10 generations to the common ancestor, and my match on chr 17 with both her and Howle - presuming my relation with her is on my mother's side - is more likely from an earlier Fontaine marriage than Aaron Fontaine/Barbara Terrell.

The Minor brothers share one descent on my paternal grandfather's quarter from Kenton/Griffith and one on my maternal grandfather's side from Harris/Jamison/Frye and I suspect there are other collateral descents from their Minor line, since this name occurs in earlier collateral lines of my maternal grandmother's.

The short match segment to the right of the break on chr 12 with Cox, Stevens and O'Guin is a range, where over half a dozen known Taylor descendants and many others match me, so I believe this indicates a descent from the martyr, Rowland Taylor

The short match with Bowen and Stevens on chr 12 indicates a descent from the martyr Rowland Taylor.

To the right a recent match with Donachie who recognizes Hamilton as a known Fontaine descendant. Donachie is a born Sprigg and shares numerous lines of descent with me, the nearest being Fontaine.

Farther to the right Nay shows names indicating possible matches along the following lines: Beverley, Withers, Mitchell, Jennings, Payne, Robinson, Tucker, Waters, Webb, Wilson, Williams, Wright and/or Howard, and herr Foley and Anderson lines may connect with my Bland/Duncan/Gallop/Bryant/Arroyah/Wahanganoche/Powhatan line.

A George Williams married my double 9th great aunt, Jean/Jane Pope b 1699/1715 d Apr 1732 in Overwarton Parish Va, and both had numerous progeny.

The eorge Williams who married Jean/Jane Pope b 1699/1715 d Apr 1732 in Overwarton Parish Va and had numerous progeny with her is a likely source for some of these matches.

To the right Borroughs,B-W, Callison and Campbell show no names, but Burks shows Anderson (many matches showing that and I have a collateral line over my Mother Bland/Duncan/Gallop/Bryant/Arroyah/Wahanganoche leading to them, which also seems to fit with Callison), Williams for me is not far off this line, Thornton is a collateral line among my maternal grandmother's ancestors, as is Clark, and Taylor appears 4 times among her ancestors.
Burks has the characteristic match on chr 22 with me for the Taylor/Swinderby line but does not have the one to the right of the break on chr 12 characteristic for descendants of Rowland Taylor, which Campbell does. But this would be on my maternal chromosome as discussed elsewhere on this page, while there are also matches along this range of my paternal chromosome which I attribute to Gilbert. The matches on chr 3, 6, 7 10 and 15 indicate that all have some ancestor in common, provided, of course, that they all match each other. If not, some are on my paternal side and the others on my maternal side. So I need feedback on this.

There are several possibilities for this other than the open paternal line, which seems to be from Kansas, where I have distant paternal cousins. First there are Hammonds in collateral lines of my Dorseys, then a Singleton rather far back among my Taylors. And a Wildebank also rather far back among the lines I share with the Washingtons, and Andersons among collateral lines where I have a descent from the Patawomeck Chief Wahanganoche and presumably also Pocahontas. Finally, Evans is a Welsh patronymic turned into a family when any son of a Welshman named Evan got involved with AngloSaxon burocracy, and I have several Welsh lines.

Unfortunately Van Stephan Borroughs offers no names, which could help narrow down this broad field of possilities of a commen ancestor.

My matches with Adin David Mumma and Malcolm C Campbell do not seem to have anything to do with the above match zone. The former seems to be my Bland/Harris/Jamison/Frye line which was in the German speaking community of Pennsylvania too.

McLaurin neé Perry has helped here with a screenshot of the the five names on my list of matches with whom she also matches. Her Perry research had run up against a brickwall. But Perry happens to be the only name we have in common. My double Thruston line goes back to Susannah Perry b d . There is also the earlier 2nd marriage of her father-in-law to Mary Perry, albeit with no known collateral line . But this was most likely the same Perry family due to geographical and social proximity.

to the right we see that while Smith does not share the short match on chr 12 for Taylor he does show the typical match on chr 22 for Taylor/Swinderby.

The significance of the short match of all on chr 7 still has to be determined, but Smith's family has always been in the British Ilses and especially in the Northwest of England and has Eleanor Armistead b about 1795 in Hutton Roof about 63 miles from Kirk Deighton. So it looks like it is either Armistead or Taylor DNA. Smith has noted that "I notice that some of the Taylors in the Taylor/Swinderby line have links to Carlisle, and we have some paternal ancestry from the city and it's surrounding area. I also have a distant Danish cousin on 23andMe who shares 6cM both with me and my brother. His paternal grandmother shares 5cM with me and 0cM with Daniel".

Alexander's McIntosh is likely to connect with the maternal line of William Cumming. So the longer match on chr 7 seems to be McIntosh DNA

The Nordic match on chr 22, see below, seems to be Swinderby or Danish DNA, while this DNA on 12 may actually be from the martyr, Rowland Taylor, or his wife.

Above there was also much discussion of the George Williams who married Jane/Jean Pope and their numerous progeny.

McLaurin also has Perry and Wyatt ancestors.

To the right the first two are also compared with two Nelsons and Nichols and there are matches on chr 1, 2, 3, 5, 12 with Taylor, 15, 21 and most interesting on 22 seemingly with Myhrvold again.

Farther to the right the firt three of these are compared with Nottingham and Nuckolls

According to Michael Crain , I was the only match out of the six persons in my comparison, he could find on John Martin Crain's chromosome browser, which clarifies that this match is not on the same chromosome of pair number 8 as the others.

Of the many names listed by John Martain Crain I have only Walton and Walker but only in collateral lines. Walton is off Hester/Mitchell/Hester (two unrelated Hester lines – different haplogroups), while there are a number of connections between Walker and Taylor rather far back.

So we should find one of these names in the Burgess family. And I would expect to find a Crain ancestor tying onto either a Duncan or one of the ealier maternal lines like Gallop, Bryant, Arroyah, Wahanganoche, or Powhatan.

The match with Lisa Janine Cloud probably

Michael Richard McNeely has Duncan, Gallop and Bryant among his ancestors, so the small matches he and Crain have on 8 and 2 seem to be from this line.

John Scot Robinson’s list of names zeros in: while I do have Robinson in the line Bland/Nicholas/Carter/Armistead/Robinson, I also have two Pope lines that converge above the branching Bland/Pope/Duncan. But he also has a Taylor. My McConnell was a branch off MacDonald rather far back. Although this match does not cover the range of the others it does border on it, and the border might be the break in regrouping.
The shorter matches on chromosomes 2, 5, 10, 12, 13 and 18 indicate that there are a common ancestors on one side of my family for all but Lisa Cloud, who has more convincing matches on the following screen shot. As Duncan and Gallop are on my maternal side, the relation to Lisa Cloud must be on my paternal side.

Burgess shows a Withers line, as do I closely related to Duncan, so all but Cloud seem to be on my maternal grandfather's paternal side, except that Burgess also shows a Courtney, while my maternal grandmother has a few rather ancient de Courtenay lines so that a shorter match from one of these ancestors cannot be entirely ruled out. To be borne in mind is that while the common de Courtenay ancestor was back 19 or more generations ago, the intermarriages of the collateral lines in this family were to about 50 % or more with other families from whom my grandmother multiply descended.

My Hesters do include a Searl line that daughtered out and is too recent to offer plausible common ancestors.

It is hard to say whether these five are different parts of a longer one the one common ancestor had or whether they smaller segments regrouped from several ancestors. I would guess that the latter is more likely and that I have different more distant ancestors in common with each of you.

I have a Mitchell line in my paternal great grandmother.

Caroline Melissa Braxton Rober also has Singleton which I have far back along my double Taylor line, also a Housden of my double Thruston line, O’Brien rather far back somewhere. Then in collateral lines I have Braxton and Taliaferro. As the latter are nearer I would expect the common ancestor to be over one of these collateral  lines.

Robert Lawrence Dyson’s Taylors do not seem related to mine. My Frye line had a Hess in it and was in Worms until 1689. Further back I have a few Beauchamp lines maternally. There is also a Payne line among my Jennings and Robinson in my Armistead line as well as Jett off my Gallop/Bryant/Arroyah/Wahanganoche/Powhatan line and a Wright line. There was also a Newton off my Pope/Foote/Berryman line, and a West off my Nicholas/Carter/Ludlow/Windsor/Blount/Etchingham line.

Robert Lee Smith offers no other names to work with.

Neither does Charles Preston Ponton, but I do have Pestons in a collateral Nicholas line:

To the right Steven Freeman shows both Taylor and Gilbert ancestors, so the match to the right of the break on chr 12 may be both Gilbert on my paternal side and Taylor on my maternal side.
Froehlich shows almost entirely Prussian and Polish ancestors, so I believe the relationship is with my French Hugenot Gilberts who spent a generation in Simsheim after the 30 Years War. Many Hugenots moved to other areas of Germany in this period leading up to and following the Revocation of the Edit of Nante.
Felts shows a Wyatt ancestor from Holland. This sounds like a refugee after Wyatt's Rebellion who fled Tudor England, probably a son or brother of Sir Thomas Wyatt.
Two of the Freemans show the typical Taylor/Swinderby match on chr 22, so they must share Taylor ancestors.

On the right White matches Magril who shows the names Bland, Howard, Anderson, Davis

As discussed elsewhere on this page, the short match to the right of the break on chr 12 is Taylor DNA on my maternal side or Gilbert paternally. The match on chr 22 is Taylor/Swinderby mternally, but possibly Viking paternally, as McConnell is a name shift from MacDonald and The founder of Clan MacDonald was of Irish-Viking descent.

Your Drewry Eliza Ann Brown might be of the family of my Original Brown, whom you find in my early Pope files, see Index below. But more striking is the Drury connection which I have multiply more anciently and have another match elsewhere. Then Elizabeth BYRON Elliott has an unusual middle name that rings a similar bell. Cosby I have collaterally in two lines in particular Prather,  as well as Walker coming off my Taylors. Then I also have a rather ancient Cromwell line = ?Crowell, and there is a Perry in my double Thruston line.

Benny Bess Crandall shows the names West, Strange, Franklin and Wade, which I have as ancestors 10 to 25 generations back, but Lewis collaterally more recently.

Sue Nelson Lessenberry’s gedcom file also offer a number of possibilities. Nelson occurs collaterally in a few lines in Va, Williams in direct line there too, Goldsmith is rather ancient in my line, Randolph collaterally but paired with Willoughb I suspect a connection there, Wilson direct, Thornton collateral, Savage multiply ancient, Dye collaterally. Sisson is bingo on my Pope line. I cannot find her Richard Bolling among my collateral Bollings, but these are intertwined with Randolphs, so that smidgeon on 22 might be Patawomeck blood. www.multiwords.de/genealogy/Ja10 Keziah Arroyah.html , Brooks is also among my early Popes and Warren more anciently. Thomas in collateral lines.

Willis Albert Adkins shows Harris and Fry, which I have in my maternal grandfather’s mother’s descent, which I presume to be the match on 11 because it does not go in the direction of the others. Baker occurs among the ancestors of other matches I have. Gray is a more ancient ancestor, Morgan is a collateral line off my Buckners.

Steven Clemens covers the match with Willis and overlaps a little more the first two and covers the same range as Sue. Here I see the names a Blount of Soddington, Hobbs, and Jameson (which I have between Harris and Frye). Millikan ( ?a variant spelling of the collateral line I have off my paternal McConnells), Moore which I have thrice maternally and collaterally in a paternal first cousin. Sessions might be Sisson, see above. Smith twice maternally, Stratton anciently, Thornton collaterally, Warren, Williams, Wilson and Wright.

To the right is a comparison of Clemens with conner, Cooley, Cooper and Coster. All but Cooper have a very short match to the left of the break on 12 which I have not identified yet, but to the right of it and on chr 22 are the characteristic matches for Taylor (alternatively for Gilbert) or for Taylor/Swinderby discussed elsewhere on this page.

Farther to the right Clemens is also compared with Coulam, Cox, Crain and Crandall. Crandall name Randall of Anne Arundel Co Md, which I also have although rather remote. Clemens and Coulam seem to be Taylor (or Gilbert) descendants. The other matches on chr 2, 5, 10 16 and 18 seem to tie all together.

To the far right there are comparisons of Clemens, Hedgepeth and Crandall with both my Hidsten matches. The le Blount ancestors were of Swedish descent, which offers an explanation for the short match on chr 10 between Clemens and one Hvidsten. But I have another longer match on chr 10 with both Hvidstens, which does not seem to come from a common ancestor full 30 generations ago.

To the right we have a comparison of three Bakers, Hegerhorst and Hedgepeth. Hedgepeth shows Perry, Randall and Taylor ancestors. While Hegerhorst shows only Hobbs as a possible connection and also has Jane Baker as a match. My maternal grandmother's maternal line with mitochondrial DNA established runs through Hobbs/Cumming/Coppage/Bayse/Taylor.

The match on 22 shared by very many on this page is also shared by a Norwegian, Terje Myhrvold and also frequently by descendants of Thomas Taylor and Margaret Swinderby b in Copenhagen. It is also shared by people of Scottish descent and not of the Taylor family. As the Vikings were all over Scotland and most clans were in part their descendants, we seem to have a gene segment that has carried over relatively free of regrouping since early Viking times.

The two short matches near the break on chr 12 also seem to have a Taylor connection.

the significance of the other short matches has yet to be clarified, but the longer matches with Dell Baker on chr 4 and Hedgepeth on chr 10 speak for closer relationships. In the latter case we also have the name Randall which seems to be the DNA source for this longer match.

Hence Farmer Clemens and Crandall are likely to be Berryman/Newton descendants if they also have White as a match. If not the match with them has to be on my paternal chromosome.

The short range of coincidence between Farmer and White can mean that the common ancestor is either a Newton or a Berryman or just a different range of chr regrouping inheritance or different common ancestors for this range.
My inherited segment from Berryman/Newton may cover the entire span in common with Crandall or other ancestors may be involved here.
With 8 generations between me and Berryman/Newton the segment span seems unusually long for even a double descent.

The short match to the right of the break on chr 12 has been identified as Taylor DNA (alternatively for a paternal chr match as Gilbert DNA), as discussed elsewhere on this page. The Taylors in early Virginia were geographically close to the Berrymans, so the match on chr 12 with White, Farmer and Clemens leads us to expect a Taylor descent for them too.

The match with Jordan on chr 12 raises the question whether the matches on chr 10 with both Jordan and Crandall might be Taylor DNA or from some other ancestor along one of my maternal grandmother's 4 Taylor descents.

The match on chr 7 with Tye, Armstrong, Brock and Waren may be one or two different common ancestors.

Waren has several rather short matches, and as many as 5 on chr 12, only the one to the right of the break on chr 12 has been identified as Taylor of Virgina

To the right, besides showing several Norwegian, Polish and French Canadian names, the Hvidstens show Webb, Fontaine, Gilbert, Woodward, Wright, Wyckoff and Paine, and they show a relatively long match on chr 10 indicating nearer relationship. Comparison with both Webbs in my list revealed nothing, But Jordan does show a long match here as well as another short one that seems to match Shortridge and Welsh, they show no names that help clarify the significance of the match, nor do Ponton or Ralls.

To the right Farmer's match with me on chr 10 does not coincide with my matches there with Drabold, Ellis, Ewing and Fanshaw. But all share the characteristic match on chr 12 for Taylor. The other short matches on chr 2, 5 6, 14 and 15 indicate some common ancestry. Farmer offers Carter as a possible name in common.
Of the nnames shown by Ellis I have a few Reade line, remote Savage and Warren, 3 Moore lines, one Wilson direct and another collateral, and collateral Harrison and Anderson lines. Except for Anderson and one Wilson, these and the Taylors are in my maternal grandmother's quarter.
Drabold's long list offers only Harris. This is my maternal grandfather's mother, whose maternal line continues to Jameson/Frye, which has Wilson collaterally, while his paternal side has two Duncan/Gallop/Bryant/Arroyah/Wahanganoche line that has the collateral Andersons.

Harris has Overton and Dabney ancestors, I have the former directly and the latter collaterally in a few lines.

Thismatch is probably our common Dorsey ancestors,  on my mother’s side making you an 8th cousin. 

With Willis Adkins I also have a match on chr 10 that seems to be on my father’s side, so I suspect there is no match between the two of you and that the match with him is just coincidentally on the other 11 of the pair in this range. Please check in your chromosome browser, if he is among your matches here.

Dickerson shows a Frances Taylor b 26 Jan 1714 m William Stone, while my Taylor pedigree has a Frances Taylor b 1714 with no details on marriage and children.

Pennington shows Harris and Anderson as ancestors, which I have as a collateral line off Duncan/Gallop/Bryant/Arroyah/Wahanganoche.

Bowen also shows Anderson and Moore.

Further to the right, two on my Harris matches have been added to the Pennington - Webb - Bowen comparison with apparent matches chr 1, 6, 10, 12 and 16 suggesting relationship.

Even further right two more Harris matched have been added. The results indicate there is Harris DNA involved in these various double and triple match ranges.

Still further to the right Pennington and Bowen are compared with three Andersons, and there do seem to be common ancestors involved, who must be Potawomack and Powhatan Indians, unless I have another Anderson connection as yet unknown or some other ancestors are involved. Here Bowen and Sandra Andersonboth show the same typical Taylor match to the right of the break on chr 12.

While the matches to the left of the break on chr 12 seem to be Harris DNA,the one with McNichols to the right of the break has otherwise been determined to incicate descent from the martyr, Rowland Taylor.

Cress claims to have Terrill/Tyrell ancestors.

To the right Howle shows the names Stanley, Webb, West, White and Boone, all of which I have as either remote ancestors or in collateral lines.

Hegerhorst shows only Prussian ancestors, so the match with him would seem to be Gilbert due to the short match on chr 12. But He does show the typical match on chr 22 for the Taylor/Swinderby descent, so the match on chr seems to be Taylor as well.
Hartness shows few names but he does show the Carolinas, whither many a Taylor went. So he is likely to find some Taylors by the time he gets back to 1750, in fact it might be faster for him to follow down on the loose ends in my Taylor pedigree.

To the right we see more of same match on 12 but also a second short match range on chr 12 to the left and on chr 7, 8 and 13

Butler's ancestors were all born on the British Ilses, so the common ancestors go back more than 300 years.

I have Butler among my Washington ancestors and two Brown lines.

My Richardson line is 13 generations back.

Brown also has Bridges (the name of a second husband of my Mary Sisson) and Brown is also in this Pope branch of mine.

The shorter match of Armstrong, McCrimmon and Waren on chr 12 seemingly coinciding with part of the longer one there of Froehlich and Penner is probably an optical illusion and on my paternal chr 12 because this is the characteristic range for Taylor descendants and must be on my maternal chromosome, although any one of them could be of Gilbert descent and hence be on my father's side.
Since both Gilbert and Taylor were adamant Protestants and at the forefront of opposition to Rome, it would not be surprising to find that they both have a common descent from either Wycliff or Jan Hus or their supporters. Indeed the Frye/Jameson/Harris/Bland descent does have a Huss branch as well, which I have as yet to follow up on. With most of the unrecanting Hussites having been driven out of Bohemia in the 15th/16th centuries, it would not be at all surprizing to find that some of them found their way to South Russia as well.

To the right are additional comparisons with Wallace, Brock, Greybeal, Walters, Greene and Haddow showing other possible matches on chr 5, 6 7, 8 10 and 20 that might identify common ancestors, if all tested match each other.

The two short matches on chr 3 lead me to suspect that White and Williams may share a descent from Taylor too, but were just regrouped out of the chr 12 match. Although entirely different lines of descent may be involved here.

Williams shows an Armstrong ancestor, which is the name of one of my matches, two Griffith ancestors in Virginia from whence mine came too, a line of Duncans that goes back to Scotland without crossing mine, as well as Robinson and Strange also rather farther back.

White may be a collateral line off of Tanny Cooper Witter's Whites.

The longer match on chr 13 is also shown for Morgan on the following screen shot. We need feedback on this to clarify whether this is paternal or maternal relationship for each from my peprspective.

But Callison, Drewry and Dales do seem to be mutually related. While Mattei and McNichols do not seem to share a relationship with them, so I expect to find their ancestors on my paternal side.

To the right Drewry shows Williams as an ancestor, so comparisons have been made with four of my matches. The matches on chr 2, 3, 4, 6 do yield support for remote relationship.

If Ingalls and Reynolds do not see Greene Gerber and Nelson as matches then these matches with Greene et. 1l. are on my respective maternal chromosomes, otherwise they are likely to also be Workman descendants.

The short match to the right ofthe break on chr 12 has been identified elsewhere on the page as a descent from the Martyr, Rowland Taylor.

I suspect that your paternal line Nuckolls may have actually been Nicholas, my maternal grandmother’s family which goes back to 1250 in Roundway Wilts England. You might want to compare your Y DNA with Nicholas/Nichols. Unfortunately I have not been able to get my nearer Nicholas relatives to participate yet, but a fifth cousin has.

Secondly Lawrence has William Willoughby as an ancestor who was probably a brother or cousin of my immigrant Thomas Willoughby.

Although James Francis Smith seems to have a short matching segment with the four others, I believe it is probably ont my other other Chromosome 16, since nowhere else does he show as matching any of the others, while Gatewood and iser do coincide with their matches on Chr. 5.

To the right We compare Pennington, two Andersons and a Harris (who are discussed above at chr 11) with Lowry and Gatewood. The match on chr 16 and the one to the left of the break on chr 12 as well as those on chr 5 and 10 indicate common ancesters somewhere, while Anderson and Harris seem to be likely names.

None of Goodwin's ancestor ring a bell with me.

However, the feedback from Grudziecki that both he and Goodwin share the same genes on chr 17 and that there are probably matches of less than 1+ cM with two Taylors. Taken together with the matches with other Taylor descendants shown here and on chr 22 and 12, I conclude that both Grudzieki and Goodwin are Taylor descendants.

Besser seems to share matches with Lewis and me on chr 3 or respectively with Shelton and me on chr 3. And Lewis and Shelton seem share the same genes on chr 17 and that there are probably matches of less than 1+ cM with two Taylors.

Allen and Carnes also include Buchanon, Reade, Stith, Smith, Stratton and Walker among their ancestors. These names all occur on my maternal side as ancestors or collateral lines and may account for some shorter matches.

Then 4 of us have a short match on one, where Bert Cooper is just next to this range.

However Cooper Witter has two lines of Terrill descent plus a maternal between our mutual ancestor, Richmond Terrell, and her solomon Terrell leading to my double Taylor line branch making her a sextuple 6th to 9th cousin. Threee generations farther back than her Solomon Terrill Jr. this line also connects with a Cary line which I cannot find in my data but may connect. Interesting about Witter is also that she has a White pedigree, a name that shows up among other matches of mine as family or middle name.
The short match on chr 12 where a number of Taylor descendants match me leads me to believe there is also a common Taylor ancestor somewhere.

The Taylor DNA I have inherited seems to be on chr 7 and 12, see above.

Manning shows only a few names, of whom I have Newton on my double Pope/Foote/Berryman/Newton line, but I expect she will find a Taylor/Swinderby line in time. The Manning /Lutter match on chr 6 (if they match each other here) seems to be maternally with me over Cumming or paternally over Cook.

To the right, Stewart of South Africa, with whom the common ancestors must also be before 1700 in the British Ilses shows STEWART of SCOTLAND, HARRIS of IRELAND, WEST and WILSON Stewart has apparent matches on chr 17 with Lutter, on chr 5 with Steven and on chr 10 with Myhrvold. The latter seems to be of Scottish - Viking origin, as my Scottish lines are so numerous and Viking descendants are among most Scottish clans.

The matches to the right of the break on 12 indicate a descent from the martyr, Rowland Taylor.

The matches with Rayburn and Tye on chr 5 seem to indicate a near common ancestor with them, as do the matches on chr 13 with Mahon and Marlowe.

I do have Berryman along both my maternal lines via Pope/Foote/Berryman.
