Kelly suggested I relate the story of how I and my cousins found each other through this project. So here goes. Pictured at right is John Wheaton, who was born in Cape May County, NJ, in 1818 and died in Warren, RI, in 1897. He is our common great-grandfather, so we are second cousins. To […]

“Like those of other living things, our structure, development, and behavior rise from a genetic foundation sunk in an environmental context.” p.16 ‘The Power of Place’ by Winifred Gallagher 1993 (note before the advent of consumer DNA testing) It has been some time since I promised to expand upon my trip to England in April […]

There is so much that has happened in the last month, but in this post I will cut to the chase. Although this specifically addresses Group B it shows what is possible with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of the Y chromosome for all of our groups. (Both Group B and Group C have NGS testing!) A […]

UPDATES Adam tested negative for FGC22526 & FGC22529. This either means that these SNPS occurred downstream of a common ancestor of Michael and Adam or that Adam is not of Obadiah branch. For instance if these mutations occurred in Joseph 4 of Obadiah 3, 2, Robert 1 and the common ancestor was Obadiah 3, 2, […]

You can see thatWHEATON is more highly represented overall thanWHEADON and there is some overlap. WhereasWHEDDON appears in locations widely spread with theclear cut highest portion near Bridgewater, Somerset. Across the […]

Closing in on Robert WHEATON’s homeland

GROUP B: the origins of Robert WHEATON For me searching for Robert’s origins have been a nearly life long quest. Aside from my speculation we have DNA matches with the HANCOCKS from South Molton, DEVON and the HOWELLS from Newport Wales. One of our two New SNPS: FGC22538 is shared by: DOOTZ 1200 Transylvania Saxons […]
