DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH AND ELIZABETH FRANKLIN

It was passed on to Naomi [ADAIR] HENDRICKSON from Ida Spencer HICKERSON that [#273.] Malinda Jane FRANKLIN wanted descendants to remember that she was a fifth cousin of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. The “Portrait and Biographical Album” of Greene County, Ohio, lists George SHIGLEY, Jr., and calls attention that his mother [Malinda’s Aunt] [#252] Olivet [FRANKLIN] SHIGLEY was of “English descent, and a descendant of the family to which the famous philosopher, Benjamin Franklin, belonged.” A cousin, [#532.] Ann MALLETT, reported it had been handed down to her that they were related to the FRANKLIN that caught lightning in a jar!

DNA travels with language, the names, which carry the Y-DNA are Anglo-Saxon, like the name Ewald/Elwald for me which has R-U106 a proto-germanic DNA. The name ‘John’ is used predominately on the Scottish-English border. Anglo-Saxon place name localities correlate well where the name ‘John’ is utilized as a forname. Before people having two or more names they had a single one, which evolved into forenames and surnames. With these names traveled the Y-DNA. Mine with the Anglo-Saxon variant of Elwald, given the meaning of ‘elk (moose) of the forest’. It seem like it is with some indigenous American Nations names of what wildlife are names after like ‘wolf’, ‘bear’, and ‘elk (moose)’ were also utilized by the Anglo-Saxon, indigenous European people. https://nvk.genealogy.net/map/1890:wolf https://wolfeducationinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/GermanyWolfMap.png The migration of the name coincides with the individual, called ‘John’ or ‘Wolf’, and that correlation seems to correlate well with European Anglo-Saxon, name places. https://www.peopleofthebritishisles.org/ Has shown strong support in their studies that People of the British Isles have a strong percent of Anglo-Saxon in them.

How does this pertain to Northumberland?

“The Kingdom of Northumbria was a medieval Anglian kingdom in what is now Northern England and south-east Scotland. The name derives from the Old English Norþan-hymbre meaning “the people or province north of the Humber”, which reflects the approximate southern limit to the kingdom’s territory, the Humber Estuary.” Wikipedia Before Roxburghshire, and Northumberland the name was Danish ‘Northumbria’. At this time the name ‘John’ was likely utilized as a personal name without surname, which came up from today’s southern Poland-Germany region, where the Anglo-Saxon have traveled out of. So the personal of ‘John’, became not a surname, but the promenade for names in the northern region of Northumbria (Lotia-Northumberland), and when the border between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland was placed it was placed across families utilizing the name ‘John’ as a personal name then a forename.

Another example; In this case unique to their surname, these Anderson, Gordon, and Grant are related, likely adopted there surnames near the same time and place. Though it is felt the Anderson name migrated through East Anglia, the Grant surname is from Grantham, and the Gordon surname came from an estate/barony, on the Scottish side of the border likely https://canmore.org.uk/site/64234/lochinvar-castle Lochinvar (lake inward?), with a castle on an island, under water because it became a dammed reservoir. But they the Anderson, Gordon, and Grant are related.

My Anderson connection is through my 8th great grandfather Thomas Reynard Anderson (1640-1690) in Charles City, Virginia, through his son Henry. My Gordon connection is through my 13th and 15th great grandfather, George Gordon (1430-1501), my 16th great grandfather, William Gordon (1440- ? ), my 15th great grandfather, John Gordon (1445-1517), my 13th great grandfather, James Gordon (1500-1547), and my 14th great grandfather, Robert Gordon (1475-1525), These are on different lines. My Grant connection is through my 10th great grandfather, John Grant (1573-1640), and my 11th great grandfather, George Grant (1534-1596).

Though do not think out 29th chief Margaret Eliott of Redheugh, has considered anymore raids done towards Hexham lately. The Elliot, and Nixon, consider Northumberland a part of there Border Homelands. Since my many great Clement’s Hob (Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliot) was exiled from both Kingdoms, in 1607, never considered the kingdoms represented by the Union-Jack as home, but do consider the Armstrong, Elliott, Nixon, and Crozier as family. Had difficulties with a Nixon about a half century ago, when he tried to get rid of an Armstrong on the moon. The heart of Sir James Douglas is next to the heart of ‘Angus’ Archibald ‘Bell the Cat’ Douglas who passed the lands of Redheugh and Larriston, to chieftain Robert Elwald in the fifteenth century and now our 29th chief Margaret lives on them. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Sasine_deed_1484_for_Robert_Elwald_%28Elliot%29%2C_Redheugh%2C_Larriston%2C_Hartsgarth.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Encased_hearts_of_Sir_James_Douglas_%26_Archibald_Douglas,_St_Bride%27s_Church,_Douglas,_South_Lanarkshire.jpg The Elliot Clan by Newcastleton Primary School | Scots Language Project 2018, Mar 24, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0LvU-EISTU Margaret Eliott, likely thinks I am some sort of ‘vagabound’.

Considering where the Dettmann are from, taking a big chance showing a picture of my relatives to the admin. Basically, some of the older adopted names are from animals, and the Wolf is an example. Like the wolf, man is also a predator of the elk (moose). It is said that the moose are following ancient trails to get to their ancient lands in Germany east of Berlin, where the ‘wald’, German for forest is. The only thing I can figure out is that the bull/father elk/moose, retains it’s historical history down it’s Y-DNA of the fathers, and the cow/mothers elk/moose, retains it’s historical history down it’s mtDNA of the mothers. That way they can get together and produce autosomal combo calf. To get a name such as Elwald/Elliot of Proto-Germanic R-U106 Y-DNA, which refers to as ‘elk (moose) of the forest’, there has to it seems to be ‘elk (moose) in the forest’, where that surname came from. The closest German name I have been able to find near the name ‘Elwald’, is the name ‘Ewald’, and there is a concentration of the surname ‘Ewald’, where the elk (moose) are crossing over from Poland into Germany.

James M. Irvine admin to FTDNA Clan Irwin surname, has a great statement I’m finding accurate; “With a combination of diligence, intuition, peer guidance, genealogical awareness and luck rather than a sophisticated knowledge of biology or mathematics I show that 37 STR markers are often quite sufficient to identify genetic families/surname branches, and one or two SNP Panel tests can be a very cost-effective follow-up to take many testees to near the forefront of this exciting application of citizen science.

Prompted by one of my Y67 match’s confirmation that his line traces to Denmark, and also by the fact that I know of a group of Wilkinsons in Coquetdale in Northumberland from at least the late 1300s, I decided to research the Viking history in Northumbria. I found this website which is pretty informative. https://englandsnortheast.co.uk/VikingNorthumbria.html But most interesting to me was this passage fairly early on: “For seven decades the Vikings would continue raiding the coast of Britain and it seemed inevitable that they would eventually launch a full scale invasion of our shores. This is precisely what occurred in the year 866, when a huge army of Danes invaded East Anglia from their well established bases in the Low Countries of the Continent. They arrived under the leadership of Ivar the Boneless and his brothers, Halfdene and Hubba and after camping the winter, turned their attention to Northumbria.” Two things are interesting to me as U152>L2>Z367>L20. First, obviously that these were Danish Vikings since my match traces to Denmark (I know of at least two other unrelated L20s who also trace to Denmark). Second, that they launched the invasion from strongholds in “the Low Countries”, i.e. what is now Netherlands and Belgium. This is worth noting because there are pockets of U152 that are in the 20% and higher range in these areas. In my opinion this adds to the possibility that my paternal line arrived with these Danes. Although, as previously noted by Dr. Faux in his research and analysis, if the Jutland Cimbri of the classical era were also U152>L20, then its possible we were already there as Brittonic Celts too. We know of at least two ancient Viking remains that were recently confirmed U152>L20. A Viking connection to these subclades undoubtedly exists. The question remains, are the Vikings my paternal line’s vector into the British Isles? Only additional testing will get us the answers we seek. Hopefully more of the lines who remained in the old country will test as well.

Allegiance, for Border Reivers By GRAHAM HEATHCOTE FEB. 11, 1996 12 AM ASSOCIATED PRESS CARLISLE, England — Ever suspected that your ancestors were robbers who terrorized the border between England and Scotland? Armstrong, Elliot, Graham, Irvine, Johnstone, Kerr, Maxwell, Nixon and Scott were among the families who rode, feuded, fought and plundered over the border area for 350 years. All the family names of the Border Reivers, whose first allegiance was to their family’s surname, are on a list kept in Carlisle, on the English side of the border. From the 14th to the 17th centuries, the border was a turbulent place. Raiders stole cattle and women, burned homes and farms and killed rivals without mercy. From surviving documents such as court and property records and tenure agreements, researchers have identified 74 family names from that region in the 16th and 17th centuries. Some names have changed over the years: Johnstone becoming Johnson, for example. Reive, meaning to plunder or rob, comes from the dialect of the Scottish Lowlands and borders. “The folk memory of the Reivers has passed away, but their stories survive in the border ballads,” said David Clarke, senior curator of Tullie House Museum. “We have music about them and [the novelist Sir Walter] Scott collected a lot about them and put them into his novels.” The museum has made an audio-visual show about Reivers the centerpiece of a $7.5-million restoration. The bell that rang to warn Carlisle townspeople of raids is in the museum. Images of galloping horse riders, lookouts, panic-stricken settlers and torched homes and forts are projected on a 30-foot screen. Voices intone the fear of women waiting for raids: “The Reivers are riding to take what we stole from them that had been ours before.” The border with Scotland is nine miles north of Carlisle, but in Reiver times it wasn’t so definite. “North of Carlisle were the debatable lands, territory which was declared to belong to neither Scotland nor England,” Clarke said. “The Reivers operated on both sides of the border. “It was peat moss and bog country, a huge tract of wet and desolate moorland at the head of the Solway Firth,” he said. “You had to know your way around it or you would have got lost and died. Nowadays it’s mostly quarried for peat or drained for farming. “Carlisle is a border city and changed hands between the English and Scots several times in the Middle Ages, so the museum took up the Reivers as a very interesting episode,” he said. “It’s become one of our main attractions.” Clarke said the Reiver story is still little known despite George MacDonald Fraser’s novel, “The Steel Bonnets.” Fraser was astonished by the Reiver connections he saw in a photograph of Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon and evangelist Billy Graham together at Nixon’s inauguration. Johnson’s visage and figure were straight from Dumfriesshire, where everyone was familiar with such lined and leathery faces, large heads and rangy, rather loose-jointed frames, Fraser said. The Graham features were less common but still familiar, while Nixon was the perfect example of the Anglo-Scottish frontier: blunt, heavy features, dark complexion, burly body and an air of dour hardness. Fraser said all three heads would fit perfectly under a steel bonnet. “The Reivers were thieves, but warriors as well, and without allegiance to anyone outside their clan. Any English or Scottish king going to war here needed the Reivers on his side,” said Chris Dobson, a Carlisle city official. He said the Reivers were eventually repressed, deported, killed or compelled to emigrate under threat of imprisonment and that many ended up in Ireland. Haydn Charlsworth specializes in researching family histories around Carlisle and has traced Reiver connections for American clients. “Once you get back to the 16th century, it’s pretty difficult to make strong links, but the Armstrongs are well documented, and the Johnstones,” Charlsworth said. https://archive.org/details/chroniclesofarms00arms/page/n13 https://books.google.com/books/about/The_History_of_Liddesdale_Eskdale_Ewesda.html?id=nFr7oQEACAAJ https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Clan-Johnston.mp4 https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Maguire-Armstrong-Elliott-Johnston-Fermanagh-surname-distribution-map-1.jpg Armstrong and Maguire marrying of Ulster Plantation, County Fermanagh, Ireland. https://d3tije9h5o4l4c.cloudfront.net/social-photos/3296539?dpr=2&fit=max&h=856&w=590 I Remain Unvanquished!: The Incredible 1,000-year History of the Armstrong Family by William Stephenson publisher; Great Northern Pulp & Paper Group Limited, 1989 – Canada – 183 pages “Men who carried arms were liable to be called up by the sheriff so there are records of them.” Visitors can get a “Reivers Car Trail” leaflet in Carlisle to guide them through 80 miles of Reiver country.

Armstrong, Bell, Carr, and Crozier, has strong linking to Elliott. Looking from the English side of the border easier to spot. Families are of the border region, when the border is identified it puts them on both sides. Can utilized ‘hot spot’ locality software to see how well it identifies localities. https://named.publicprofiler.org/ Area you describe the Curruther at https://elwald.com/carruthers-i-m253-y-dna/, most are I-M253 Y-DNA. For Crozier which lived near the Larriston Elliot at Ricarton http://clancrozier.com/ Descended from a most notorious border reiver; Clementis Hobs (ie Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliott). https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Clemementis-Hob-hand.jpg https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Clementis-Hob-William-Douglas-Cavers-Gledstanes-Coklaw1.jpg https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Crosar-of-Stobs-and-Agerstoneshields.png http://clancrozier.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Nixon-with-Crozier-Elliott.jpg https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Karruthers-Carruthers.png Go way back with the Armstrong https://gorrenberry.com/rich-rucker-clan-armstrong-dna-question/ Basically you have Anglican-Borderers.

Mark, if you had a map of Scotland with all the clans listed on it, I could throw a dart at it blindfolded and hit a clan that I’m related to. However, it was kind of thrilling when I went to Scotland in 2005, I’m in Dumfries and Galloway riding in a “King” bus (my father’s mother was a King, though her line was from Ireland when a truck bearing the Armstrong name (my dad was born in Armstrong, Illinois) came tootling down the road.

If anyone on here is in Northumberland and knows any Wilkinsons in Northumberland, please pass my email jcmaxwilkinson@gmail.com on to them. I know there were Wilkinsons in Coquetdale at least as of late 1300s. I was reading through Northumbrian history and was interested to learn that for a time Northumbria extended all the way north into Lothian and included Edinburgh. Lothian would have been part of the Celtic Old North prior to that. My one non-family Wilkinson match (Y37, all the further he tested) traces to East Lothian. He’s not refined his haplogroup past M269, so I don’t know if he’s also U152>L20. Assuming that he is, and assuming our lines converge in Lothian somewhere before 1700, the question becomes were we pre-Anglo Saxon Celts (U152 presumably implies that, presumably La Tene Votadini tribe assuming the line remained in that region) or were we an uncommon U152 Anglo Saxon (or later Dane) line? There were Wilkinsons in the Border counties and Lothians in Scotland at least as of the 1500s too. Did they migrate from Northumbria or vice versa? Hopefully further research and maybe some ancient DNA will eventually solve the mystery.

Mark Elliott
September 24 @ 9:08am
Since only about one sixth of those tested by FTDNA with the Gresham surname do not match my first twelve markers, it is most likely especially being from Norfolk that your ancestor matched my first twelve markers as far as the Y-DNA is concerned. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gresham_Grissom?iframe=yresults, and his surname came from a place in Norfolk called Gresham, where there is a moated castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham_Castle of about the early fourteenth century called Gresham Castle. Bec/Becc/Beck (Anglo-Saxon for ‘brook’) is nearby, also from that era and is moated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_Hall “An early resident of Bec was Alanus Elfwold (1248).[5]” (my many great)

Am related to Carl Finch. Match him exactly in twenty-five markers. The names you find are Finn, Finnie, Finrock, and Finch. The Finch is from Fitzherbert, it is likely that the names began from the region of Fenlands referred to as the Fenns, many islands, drained in 1650 at the time of Cromwell. So Fenns became the surname Finn, which became in some cases Finch, Finnie, and may be with question Finrock, and the Chronicles of the Armstrong have the Elwald -Elliot, located at Crowland (Croyland) of the Fenns. https://archive.org/details/chroniclesofarms00arms/page/n13

https://www.rootstech.org/video/you-can-do-dna John Wilkinson 20 minutes ago “Thanks Mark. I know how to name search FF matches. I was just wondering if there are any known autosomal markers identified in recent study that could be searched for in individual FTDNA results, regardless of surname, they may be there but I cant find them.” How family members are being successful at family history; 1.The family knows best. 2.Listen to others, especially of the opposite sex, to make family. 3.Do not in a family search, get rid of the in-laws (Xs), though you may want to. 4.Families fight, and likely not just one answer is correct, in the history. 5.If the family’s history is done properly one does not get to pick their ancestors. The ladies presented themselves at Roots Tech in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2015. In 2020 it is in Salt Lake City, Utah; https://www.rootstech.org/salt-lake FTDNA is not as oriented as these ladies being Latter Day Saints, going to Brigham Young University. Do not tell those Mormons this but Brigham Young is an Anglo-Scottish Borderer name. One does not put the cart ahead of the horse, meaning the genealogy comes first like in the many established autosomal sites, like ‘the guide team’, and in genealogy; YOU CAN DO DNA, it is not rocket science. FTDNA have to realize that their SNP subclades are beginning to reach into genealogical time for some researchers, which are going back far in time with their Y-DNA. The prehistoric does not cut it for genealogy, of the ‘so called’ DNA experts, the ones which share family knowledge with families, then applying DNA, are circumventing these DNA ‘experts’. Until they realize the first statement ‘family knows best’, they will never be able to do family history-genealogy. The Guide Team started with family history-genealogy, the family, and are now putting the genetics to it. FTDNA can destroy their own future, even though the numbers are there to integrate them into family history, when family history is being done they allow their felt to be ‘superior’ knowledge base supersede and smother the family history which is being developed, not becoming integrated into that which has properly been successful in finding history of families for centuries. Been for my own family able to integrate FTDNA Y-DNA, with place names, and census surname concentrations of Y-DNA quite successfully. Some FTDNA blogs have excluded me from doing so. The guide team which has done the Roots Tech video in 2015, going cross corporate, and showing advantages among the different autosomal corporations, have done it quite successfully. If FTDNA drops the prehistoric, and the superseding of family information, but integrates their Y-DNA test into the family data base it is felt going downstream, but a cluster not testing a “Big-Y”, but just testing the SNPs which are in time reaching further into genealogical time I feel they will be much more successful with family genealogists using Y-DNA. Roots Tech 2020 is again in Salt Lake City, Utah; https://www.rootstech.org/salt-lake

It is true that Y-DNA tests like BigY are beginning to find SNPs that occurred in genealogical time, but in general there is very little help within the Y-Line from Family Finder matches if the relationship is beyond fourth cousin, or 5 generations.

To do proper genealogy, you need all the different DNA types as well as the paper trails to verify it. Yes, DNA is a foundation, but if all you know is your surname and you get back 500 years, you could have a couple thousand people with your surname to which you are related, but which one is your direct ancestor? That is where the paper trail comes in. I have found people who were 5th to remote cousins with Family Finder, and I have multiple connections with them. The record so far is 13 separate connections ranging from 7th great grandparents to 23rd great grandparents. All FF said was that we were related.

To have a link I built come to the very top of 1.9 million results in a Bing search of ‘Brigham DNA’. If the Brigham (BYU) DNA people are hitting that link, what does it say about someone which doesn’t, are they really a family research genealogist? Yes, FTDNA Y-DNA is quite useful in the hands of a genealogist, integrated with other tools which they have developed, but not to the ones which kick people off their blogs for doing family history.

Mark ElliottMark Elliott
September 23 @ 8:43pm
Genealogy is sharing of family history, and from my perspective it seems like the ones without the Y-DNA are better at doing this. Because the ones with the Y-DNA, try to supersede, I beginning to feel like I am stuck with a pot of gold I am trying to share but sometimes no one wants it. Thought their is this Lucio Gomes from Brazil, using an English translator, to translate from Portuguese to be in the English FTDNA blogs. Has indigenous South American blood in him. You will find that he has been in the Dunbar activity feed with a cowboy admin near Dallas. This is part what we came up with; https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Dunbar-1024×533.jpg Both our families fought against Cromwell, his at The Battle of Dunbar, and ended up in Brazil, and mine in the Battle of Worcester and ended up in Massachusetts Colony ‘transported as Scottish POW slaves’. Dunbar has been through many battles, therefore the surname Dubar is dispersed, the Cockburn, adopting their surname from the same Y-DNA pool are not dispersed like the Dunbar, because they did not go through the battles the Dunbar did. This is just one small example of the use of Y-DNA.

The primary purposes of this Society, which is headquartered in Redheugh, are to preserve the history and traditions of the Clan, and to promote a spirit of kinship among its members. In the words of Sir Arthur, “the tie is essentially a family one, transcending national boundaries and disregarding distinctions of age, sex, wealth or status. Thus our Clan Society is more than a club and more even than what is generally understood by a ‘Society’. It is above all, a family association and has been formed for those of us who feel that this ancient tie is of special interest and value to our modern world.” https://www.elliotclan.com/history/ https://elwald.com/clan-elliot-29th-chief-margaret-eliott-of-redhuegh-stobs/ Takes a lot of research to go 29 generations down my Y-DNA.

Finding in this group; “Michael STELL, b. 1530, d. 9 Feb 1589 England” where ‘Stell’, is more like the ‘Stelle’, spelling of Germany, though the name ‘Steele’, has similarities to it. On the English side of the Border it seems though the name ‘Steele’ is prevalent that it is spelled also ‘Steele’. There are a number of Germans carrying the Y-DNA, so it is felt that the word ‘stelle’, which produced the names ‘Steele’, ‘Stell’, ‘Steel’, migrated with the Anglo-Saxons, to Anglia, Yorkshire, the Scottish Borders, onto Ulster then The Colonies with the Border Elwald-Ellott. It is basically felt to mean a place name, meaning a narrowing in a stream or river, where, fish can be trapped.

Brigham (bridge home, of East Riding, Yorkshire), Young (Border way of naming Young Dand ‘Ellot’), of the Later Day Saints, has opened to the public, surname search of immigrants. “The Immigrant Ancestors Project, sponsored by the Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University, uses emigration registers to locate information about the birthplaces of immigrants in their native countries, which is not found in the port registers and naturalization documents in the destination countries. Volunteers working with scholars and researchers at Brigham Young University are creating a database of millions of immigrants based on these emigration registers.” http://immigrants.byu.edu/ They also find, FTDNA as surnames are concerned search tool quite useful. Note there are about ten thousand people named ‘Brigham’, as opposed to about a million named ‘Young’, so many more ‘Young’, than ‘Brigham’, are found in FTDNA groups https://forebears.io/surnames https://www.familytreedna.com/group-project-search?sType=ew&Searchname2=Brigham&search=Brigham https://www.familytreedna.com/group-project-search?sType=ew&Searchname2=Brigham&search=Young Northumberland group; “152 Brigham 6”, but lists no Young.

Mark, the Border Elliotts are from the line of R-L21>S193. As you are from R-U106>S16361 it is likely that your Elliott line comes through a female Elliott, whose partner was killed in battle. In other words you do not descend from the Elliott Border chiefs in direct male line.
Mark Elliott
September 1 @ 6:08pm
First of all you are referencing R-L21>L193, where abover 37% of the Elliot of the Redheugh-Larriston region are from, but I am from Gorrenberry and definitely note not of the chieftain Redhuegh line which branched off at Robert Elwald 9. Robert Elwald 10 acquired the lands of Redheugh and Larriston which contain the R-L193 DNA, likely brought down by the Douglas from Angus, migration to the valley of Glendinning where the R-L193 Glendinning, and Little are from in accordance with James V. Elliott Clade A-1 study. Gorrenberry is not of Redheugh, that is why Gorrenberry did not adopt the Redheugh shield/arms of 1566. Redheugh is the chieftain line, not Gorrenberry. https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/A1-Clade-Report.pdf

I agree Mark. Scott of Satchells mentions 12 great families. If they were all of the same DNA line I would think he would say ONE great family. I’m sure there was a lot of intermarrying amongst them but there had to be several Y-DNA lines. Lot of I haplogroup Elliotts also.

A great statement ‘2 decimal places (e.g. 96.73%) misleading:’ With FTDNA, not making the number of measured years per generation available shows their understanding of mathematics. The above shows that James M. Irvine, has a strong understanding of the mathematics when it is being applied to genealogical research. Numbers am familiar with are 30 and 25 years a generation. At 30±5 and at 25±2½, but will be utilizing a higher more mathematically precise at the units digit e.g. 27±½. For the mathematics to be correct the precision of the answer can not be more than the precision of the input. To get an answer such as 96.73% is mathematically correct, this shows the level of mathematical knowledge which FTDNA is utilizing.

THE GUIDE TEAM, and I know that genealogy is not rocket science. YOU CAN DO DNA. FTDNA showed me that their mathematics was incorrect, with their TIP calculator, by using measured 30 years a generation, a number which has only one significant digit, and coming up with percents to the nearest hundredth, which is mathematically impossible. In genealogy, if you give me information, on top is THE FAMILY KNOWS BEST. Next one needs a different perspective, and to make family one must listen to the sex opposite of you. That especially goes in genealogy. Genealogy, is based on multiple estimations. For my DNA, for the surnames, Gresham (Grisham, Grissom), Cave, and Scarborough (likely Scorborough, UK, but Scarborough, UK is close enough), am matching the first twelve markers. These are places along the North Sea which Scandinavians came into. The Normans and Scandinavians fought at Hastings carrying similar autosomal DNA, in accordance to the PoBI project. As with the Church of Latter Day Saints, two philosophies exist, one of kings with kings in authority, and one of borderers which just pitch in. Similar to the difference between their first and second president, of the Church of Later Day Saints. Brigham Young is the border reiver. For genealogy it is a pitch-in and a sharing, when authority intervenes, or ‘in-laws’ are kicked out it does not work. Now people you are sharing information among family these are the ones doing genealogy. With all surnames people are likely to be from different regions. With ‘Gresham’ (Grisham, Grissom), most likely from Gresham, Norfolk, East Anglia, England. With ‘Cave’, also having French origins, not so much. With ‘Scarborough’, it could be ‘Scorborough’ also which is closer to ‘Cave’, but both are in the same region. Over time there will be some NPE, among them. Y-DNA reaches way back in time, and the SNP are beginning to reach into the era of genealogical researchers like you and I. On the first marker a ’14’ is rare, and there are higher proportions of first marker 14’s for Gresham, Norfolk, and Scarborough. Gresham is a place name it ends with ‘ham’, and Scarborough, is a place name it ends with ‘borough’ originally ‘burgh’, as in Edinburgh, but pronounce the same. Cave is likely a place name after a family, of Cave, likely a Norman name, and could by also a place name in France, but those ending in ‘ham’, and ‘borough’, are of names originating in the today’s England. So for people who have a first marker ’14’, and match the first twelve markers with mine for the names Gresham, Cave, and Scarborough, when their surname adoption came about they were from that locality, like Cottingham. Webster’s ‘cot’, a small house or Brigham, a ‘bridge house’. It should be noted the name is sometimes written “John de Doe” where ‘de’ means of, and in time is dropped, the name then becomes “John Doe”. If searching names as in Google Books, one may search “de Doe”, if it exists in that manner, try to find it on a map, the recent ones first, then older ones. If the mapping locality corresponds with census concentration data software, then it likely originate in that locality. Brigham and Cottingham are localities of East Riding, Yorkshire and show ‘hot spots’ https://named.publicprofiler.org/ at their respective localities, so I can say if you have the surname Brigham or Cottingham, and are Y-DNA matching on the first twelve markers a number of people with that surname then you are certainly most likely from that locality. If your Cave relatives, match my first 12 Y-DNA markers then they received their surname from the region of N&S Cave, East Riding Yorkshire.

My closest Cave is my 10th great grandmother, Mary Cave (1556-1593), daughter of my 11th great grandfather, Anthony Cave (1517-1558). Anthony lived and died in Buckinghamshire, England. Mary was born in Buckinghamshire and died in Essex. She married Jerome Weston.

Belinda Dettmann 1 hour ago Mark, the Border Elliotts are from the line of R-L21>S193. As you are from R-U106>S16361 it is likely that your Elliott line comes through a female Elliott, whose partner was killed in battle. In other words you do not descend from the Elliott Border chiefs in direct male line. You are not a genealogist, because you will not go to Google Images and put in “Brigham DNA”. You will not read the links which go with the first four images, and you will refer to a second generation genealogist-engineer, who has been doing genealogy for more than a half century as a lair about ones own Y-DNA line, when the first rule of genealogy in order to even be considered a genealogist the family is correct. Dad’s research was FTDNA correct to 28 Mar 1692, record of Daniel Elliott of the Salem Witch trials. Yet if I am today to present results most accurately, someone will say of not my family who has not worked in the applied world as a math science, computer, engineering fields as and engineer, instructor at secondary and university level, and as with the authorities of the witch trials did with Daniel’s testimony make a lie out of the truth. By doing this at the time of Daniel Elliot, nineteen innocent people were hung and one was crushed. Genetic-genealogists, from/of Brigham Young University are scrutinizing the data-documentation I have shared and will come to there own results, like highly qualified people in the genetic genealogical sciences do.

Above gives a map locality for Anders to have a census concentration at the southern part of the border in both Germany and Poland. Anders is the base prefix for names Andersen, Anderson, and Andersson. Andersen showing strength in Denmark. It is felt with surname adoption it is kind of like putting a drop of food die in water, the concentration is likely near where it began, though it spreads all over northwest Europe, like the above shows for Anders.

The Redheugh shield/arms adopted about 1566 the ‘elwand’. An elwand is a standard sixteenth century measurement of lenght, which name is biblical, but many christian nations would have an elwand of various length, England 45 imperial inches, and Scotland a hair more not being on the English standard than 37 inches. The belt of Orion is noted to be the “king’s ell/eln/el”. Guess the king of England was fatter than the king of Scotland. The Elwald split, Gorrenberry to Ulster at time of Border Pacification (genocide), for a genocidal flag “The Union Jack”, which has separated our family like borders have separated them for over four centuries. Then ‘transported as slaves to the colonies’ Hamiltonian POW Royalist Charles II, Scots fighting the forces of Cromwell at Worcester, in the Cromwellian Civil. Those Tories trying to make a border in Ireland, my patriotic rebellious ancestors would around 1776 just string them up. The “elwand” symbolizes the Elwald of Redheugh and Gorrenberry, and says, ‘by measurement, not by words’.

Fitting to my line which supported Queen Marie Stuart of Scotland at Langholm 1569 with a bunch of other reivers of the West and Middle Scottish Marches, and were in on the rescue of Kinmont Willie Armstrong, with the Bells, from Carlisle Castle with Auld Walt of Harden in 1596. That Scrope took him on a truth day and Kinmont Willie needed to be rescue, so he could live out his days in his tower on the River Sark, near the Scots Dike, and be buried in Morton Kirk (church) cemetery there.

Gary Bradley, A lot of times the name Broadley, will evolve into Bradley, which is likely in your case, but there is a name locality near Broadley called Bradley, but others in England such as a North Bradley down south, so this leads me to believe since you brought it foreword the name originate from Broadley. Broadley, Whitworth, UK, fits the description and locality. If you are matching by Y-DNA people with the name Broadley, then most likely your name was Broadley of this locality, because it is most likely that the name would take away a letter ‘o’ than add it. Broadley is from the Anglo-Broadlee, which means a valley broad on the lee-leeward east side and steep on the windward west side this is the locality Broadley is located in.

When ‘Declaration of Abroath c.1320’ the border was place, it was place between existing families. These families had loyalties to each other more so than their respective kingdoms. The borderlands were a self governing body onto themselves, and the border dukes Buccleuch, Cessford (Roxburghe), and Northumberland, sustained the land. Today they still try to protect the land, instead of subdividing it. It is felt that Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland is doing the best job of it so far, but he is one of singularity on the English side of the border, where Buccleuch and Roxburghe are on the Scottish side of the border. All these families are interconnected through marriages. Previous to a border pacification and a United Kingdom, these families were the main managers of the borderlands. Though the Duke of Northumberland is doing a good job on his side of the border in preservation of the lands for borderers, the Dukes of Buccleuch, and Roxburghe, have to deal with the Scottish Ministry, which would like to own a wind farm corporations, and destroy any concept of a National Scottish Peace Park in conjunction with the Northumberland National Park on the English side of the border. As more and more people around the world search their genealogy, and find they are of border families, and at border pacification, the making of the Middle Shires was intended for preservation of both sides of the border, these families tracing their lines will not wonder whether the Duke of Northumberland is preserving the English side of the border but will be concerned about the desecration, of their ancestral lands by the Scottish Ministry, not allowing the Dukes of Buccleuch and Roxburghe to protect their lands for ancestors returning to visit from abroad to their family homelands.
