Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Marriage James Taylor and Martha Pedan, 13 Mar 1868
« on: Tuesday 26 February 19 23:07 GMT (UK) »
We have now 3 Padens in the US who have matching YDNA tests. One traces back to a John Henry Peden b 1813 from Coleraine, Londonderry and settled in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. My particular Paden line goes from John PADEN b. 20 Dec 1767 ? Londonderry to Frederick Co, Maryland. I have found a James bc1790 with a son Hugh b 1815 who married at Aghadowey to Jane Reid. Anyone with info on early PADENS/PEDENS please feel free to contact me. The YDNA shows a connection to Clan Mclaren and Clan Colquohon near the Firth of Clyde, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs of Scotland. I could not find much in the early 1700's.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Beginner's Guide to Genetic Genealogy (DNA Testing for Genealogy)

Here is alink to a journal article where this is noted.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2766043/
My husband has the most mutations in the Wheaton project in his haplotype and he also comes from a long line of older fathers and younger wives;-) Some families or haplotypes are more prone to mutations than average and the whole DNA lottery is just that. As they say " mutations happen when they happen."
The are simply replication errors and they happen randomly. Which means some families won't get any and some will get more than their fair share. The deep ancestry is interesting too!
I like to think if DNA as the encyclopedia of life stories of all our ancestors and where they have been.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Beginner's Guide to Genetic Genealogy (DNA Testing for Genealogy)
« on: Wednesday 18 September 13 12:53 BST (UK) »
I have an online Beginner's Guide to Genetic Genealogy that is really for beginners: http://tinyurl.com/geneticgenealogyguide
There are currently 14 Lessons and more may be added. I wrote these in response to repeated requests on the DNA Newbie List. I thought I would post here. These are FREE online and there is no homework
They are my gift back to the greater genealogy community.
They start from the beginning and try to make a complex subject understandable without too much jargon. Hope they help someone!

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA KIT to WHEATONs and possibly HANCOCK of North Devon
« on: Wednesday 27 February 13 15:22 GMT (UK) »
That is absolutely beautiful. I will eventually post on my blog with attribution with your permission. Gorgeous piece of history.
I believe that is the best part of genealogy and Gentic genealogy....to bring the past back to life and a growing admiration of those forebears who make our lives possible.
With the different groups of WHEATONs represented above we have the following early groups represented
7,500 years ago the Ancient Celts who peopled Devon
2,500 years ago the Alpine Celts who moved from the mountains of Northern Italy to the Plains of Salisbury and then West.
More recently then incursions by the Saxons and Vikings
All represented by different WHEATON groups in DEVON.

I am happy to help where I can. This link to Wheatons in Devon may be helpful to you.
http://www.wheatonjk.co.uk/devon2.htm
If you know of a living male Wheaton in your family we can help establish which Wheaton line you connect to. The test prices have been lowered to $39 for a 12 marker test. Eventually if Ancestry.com opens up their autosomal test to the UK market it may also prove helpful for you in connecting not only with your Wheaton line but all of your lines.
There's tons of information on the earliest Wheatons on my website.

You are likely related to the earliest Wheaton who was Mayor of Exeter for many years.

A bit of an update. We have established 4, probably 5 WHEATON / WHEADON lines in Devon and Somerset.
The WHEADON line is DNA related to the DEANs of Chard and Crewkerne areas of Somerset and Axminster of Devon.
There is a WHEATON line from Exeter. This may be the oldest reaching back to 1298.
There is a WHEATON line from Coldridge and surrounding parishes of Devon which goes back to the 1500's
There is a WHEATON line from Brixham, Devon. which were mariners.
There is a WHEATON line from the Sidmouth area.
And finally there is a Hancock from South Molton who matches with a large group of American Wheatons whose progenitor immigrated in the 1600's.
More information on progenitors here

And DNA testing here.
