Re: Nehemiah / John Daniels Families in SW Pennsylvania 1800

 

From what I have looked at, John Daniels name was originally Donnell.??It was changed in the 1840 census.? So, maybe that will help you to find additional information.? This is what I found along time ago while researching my Daniels family in Pennsylvania

John Daniels b.1775 Cecil Twp. Washington Co. PA. His parents were John Donnell b.1749 and Rebecca Evans b. ABT 1752. (The names is listed as Daniels in the 1840 Census).Married in Washington PA. ABT 1789 to Experience Moore b.1779 PA. Her parents were Samuel & Experience (Randolph) Moore.12 Children: Rebecca J. b. 1800, Henry b.1803, John b.22 Aug. 1804, Jesse Frederick b.1808, Clement W. b.7 July 1811, Pierce B. b.29 June 1812, William Harrison b.1817, Abraham b.17 June 1820, James b.

Re: Gini Meeker

Hi William,
The best data on this line that I have seen is a report written by a professional genealogist in the UK who was focused on the William Daniel/Dorothy Forth line. As I recall, she determined that this line became extinct with their children who did not have descendants. The report is a hard copy in my storage room. I am slowly excavating my way to several four drawer file cabinets in that room as I am downsizing. I will publish it, on line, when I find it.

We did have a Cheshire Daniel in the Daniel Y DNA project a decade or so ago, but he never filled out the Ancestor field in his profile so I do not know which kit was his. He has been silent for several years and I lost all of my electronic files from that period to a computer crash. He never had a match to any other Daniel man in the project. He and his family still lived in Cheshire.

Hi Kevin,?

Just a quick query, if you recall my family descends from the Daniels at Over Tabley and Cheshire.?

I was wondering if throughout your time researching you had come across anyone who may have more information on them ? Really looking for any leads whatsoever as have been struggling a bit to find a descendant of the Cheshire Daniels/ De Anyers , as am on the hunt for some more historical info on them.?

Thanks?

William?

Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

 

BTW, I have not heard back from the owner of kit #188665...

Kevin


Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

 

Okay, thanks Kevin! I appreciate your detailed explanation. I am happy to be learning what to look for when comparing Y-DNA test results.


Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

 

Hi Janine,
????? Of the three kits mentioned from your group, two are 37 marker tests and one (13589) is a 67 marker test. Four marker differences at 37 markers is a significant difference, so we would need to look to see if that difference widens or stays the same at 67 markers and higher.

?????? In this case, in comparing the results between kit #13589 and the kits from the Midldlesex Daniel line who have tested to 67 makers and higher (20707, 172081 and N75969), the difference widens to more than 7 markers which FTDNA does not consider a significant match. FTDNA's result tables do not show the total difference between kit #13589 and these other kits, so it could be much higher than a 7 marker difference. So, based on these results, there is no familial paternal relationship between your line and the Middlesex Daniel line in a genealogically meaningful time frame.

"Three of Joseph Job Daniel’s descendants are listed in a row (kits 133944, 32867, 13589), so it’s easy to see that their haplogroup (I-M253) & all markers are identical. I looked at other tests with the same haplogroup & compared their numbers to Job’s descendants. I found that several kits of descendants of William Daniel of Middlesex have the same haplogroup, & all but four numbers are identical to Joseph Job Daniel’s descendants. The kits are 20230, 20707, 48481, 172081, & N75969. The four numbers that are different are only off by one number. Does this mean anything, or is that number of markers being different mean there is no connection?"

Best,

Kevin


Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

I hadn’t joined in this conversation, because I didn’t see a connection, but kit #20230 is Cecil Daniels. I purchased that kit and #20231 who is my first cousin, A. David Daniel. They are only off by one number on one marker which I was told was a “volatile” marker that could change over a 200 year period. Apparently, the change for our line was at Josiah Daniel b 1805 NC. We cannot find a scrap of paper that places him in Caswell Co., NC, but Cecil Daniels has a direct line to James Key Daniel and Sarah “Salley” Brown, both b VA. We found that they had one son in the right age bracket in the 1810 and 1820 census records who had never been identified. We have claimed him now, based on the DNA match, later census records showing Josiah’s parents b VA, and the names of Josiah’s children: first son James Jordan Daniel, a son William Brown Daniel and a daughter Sarah. Also, an exact DNA match with A. David Daniel and my 3rd cousin Jerry H. Daniel would support the change being at our Josiah. We are solid on our paper trail from Josiah b 1805 down to the present. Cecil’s paper trail is good back to Capt. William Daniel of Middlesex Co., VA, coming down thru son Robert, and we “piggy-back” on his DNA match. I’m not sure how I can help with this particular subject, but feel free to ask me questions. BTW, I have done the autosomal DNA test thru FamilyTreeDNA and have lots of Daniel cousins on that site, too. I wonder if we’d get matches there. It does at least include female connections that don’t show up in Y-DNA. I know that there are overall thousands more who have tested thru ancestrydna and I have my Daniel aunt (Mary Moore) on that website. I imported my DNA there and my daughter Karen Cavanaugh is there, too.

Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

 

Kevin,?

Thanks for your help in this.

I was looking over the tests in the project & have a question about similarities I’m seeing in the test results of two different families. Three of Joseph Job Daniel’s descendants are listed in a row (kits 133944, 32867, 13589), so it’s easy to see that their haplogroup (I-M253) & all markers are identical. I looked at other tests with the same haplogroup & compared their numbers to Job’s descendants. I found that several kits of descendants of William Daniel of Middlesex have the same haplogroup, & all but four numbers are identical to Joseph Job Daniel’s descendants. The kits are 20230, 20707, 48481, 172081, & N75969. The four numbers that are different are only off by one number. Does this mean anything, or is that number of markers being different mean there is no connection?


Re: Site updates

 

Looks like danieldna.com works and is secure, but masking does not work. Www.danieldna.com works, too, but is not secure, though masking works. I can make it work , or not work, in a couple of other ways using http or https in the URL... Probably need to tinker with syntax on my hosting site...?

Kevin


Re: Site updates

 

Ugh, looks like I broke the first link with trying to mask it, but the second link works. I will keep experimenting with the first link until I figure this out.?

Kevin


Site updates

 

I got the secure connection issue figured out so the connection can be securely made by using either of the following URLs:





I have not looked at my hosting provider's web site in a while and found that they have enabled masking without an upgrade which was quite a bit more expensive. That means that when you go to the site in the future, using first URL, you will see instead of the x10 URL, but right now it is not working. It apparently can take a couple of days for that change to take effect. Going forward you can use either of the two? links above, whichever you prefer.? Both are secure.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Hi Janine,
??? I sent an email to the owner of kit #188665 to ask them to change their access to allow me to view their results, but have not heard back from them, yet. So far, the email has not come back as undeliverable, so hopefully, it is still good. They have not logged into their page at FTDNA since January of 2015.

?? That being said, I was able to look at the results from kit #4116. They have tested to 111 markers, which is good. They have three 66/67 marker matches, one of which is to another Daniel whose haplogroup is I-M253, but the other two are to men surnamed Pryor and Robertson who are also I-M253. The match to kit #188665 is a 65/67 match. The other matches of kit #4116 to men who have taken 67 or higher marker tests, starts widening but there are significant matches though none are to Daniel men. Match surnames include multiple men named Gordon, Hitchcock and other surnames. At 111 markers, kit #4116 has only two matches, to men named Robertson and Gray.

?? In the absence of any primary record evidence suggesting a familial relationship, this strengthens my conclusion that the shared Daniel(s) surname between kit #188665 and the family of Job Daniel is probably a coincidence. The significant number of closer matches to men with several differing surnames suggests a clan ancestry, probably Scottish or Irish. Still, the relationship between all of these men is fairly recent, probably to an MRCA who lived within the last 8-10 generations. There is no clear indication of what the surname of that MRCA may have been, however, and chances are pretty good that it was not Daniel. It is also possible that there has been some rapid Y DNA marker mutations which might account for the differing haplogroups.

Probably, the only way to sort this out is for several of these men, including several different surnames, to do Big Y testing to discover their Terminal SNP. That would be pretty expensive. Testing to 111 markers, instead, might be helpful and might give a better estimate of when the common ancestor between these men lived. It would be a less expensive alternative.

Here are a couple of links that might be helpful.







Let me know if you have any questions. If I hear back from the owner of kit #188665 and they grant me access to their results, I will send another update


Kevin


Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

 

Thanks for explaining that, Kevin! I look forward to any further clarification that becomes available on this.?


Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

Sorry for the slow response, Janine. I have been traveling! The biographies are written by a member of the cousin group who sends it to the project for review and posting. My co-admin and I just review the biographies for format and comment on any glaring inconsistencies or errors.

That being said, the owner of kit #188665 has not granted access to his kit to the project administrators, so I cannot take a look at his matches, but I can see that he matches kit #13589 to 66/67 markers by looking at the owner of that kit. The owner of kit #188665 has only taken a 67 marker test, so it cannot be explained by a more refined test, for instance Big Y testing, which would identify the Terminal SNP of the line.?

While the haplogroup for all (?) of the descendants of Job Daniel is I-M253, the haplogroup for kit# 188665 (I-L338) is in the same tree, meaning descended from I-M253, but is a much more recent mutation. The I-M253? mutation occurred about 28,000 years ago. There have been at least a dozen mutations between I-M253 and I-L338.

What immediately stands out to me, looking at the matches of kit#13589, is that he has a number of very close matches to numerous different surnames who are haplogroups I-M253 and I-L338. What I think is going on is that all of these men share a common ancestor who lived around 28,000 years ago but are not all closely related in a genealogically meaningful time frame. It may just be a coincidence that the owner of kit #188665 shares a surname with the the line of Job Daniel.

That is just my first thought from what I see, but I just got home and? have only been looking at these results for about 10 minutes. I need to take care of some things here, first, but I will take a closer look at all of the kits that I can see, tomorrow. I will also send a request to the owner of kit #188665 to grant me a bit more access, so that I can see what his results look like.

Best,

Kevin


Re: Joseph, “Job, Jobe,” Daniel and Elizabeth Calaway DNA match to William of Cedar Creek

 

Kevin,

I have a question about Y-DNA as I it's still very new to me & I am still learning how to interpret results. Regarding the descendants listed for Joseph Job Daniel on the Participating Lines page, I can see how all of the kits listed match because the haplogroups & numbers under each marker are the same. My question has to do with the last sentence in the bio for Joseph (see below) in which it states that his descendants have a DNA match with the descendants of William Daniel, kit #188665. Can you explain more about this? I looked up this kit, & while the numbers under the markers seem to match Joseph's descendants, the haplogroup is different. Are the haplogroups considered related because they are possibly from the same base haplogroup??

We are trying to research the parents of Joseph Job Daniel. Does the match with the descendants of William Daniel suggest that they could be from the same family, or maybe even father & son, or does it look like a more distant match??

Joseph (Jobe/Job) Daniel, b. abt 1745, soldier in the American Revolution, married?Elizabeth Callaway?1778, d. abt 1814, buried south of Lynchburg Tenn. Known children are:?Abner,?John?md. Avis (4116, 13589, 32867),?Isaac?md. Unknown Faircloth (133944),?William?md. Argent (14965),?Anne?md. William Arthur Sanders,?Callaway?md. Lucinda Cook (Their son Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel owned a distillery in? Lynchburg TN),?Reuben?md. Susan Ann Watts (21205) and?Nancy?md. Jeremiah Dean. Descendants of these known children of Jobe Daniel have a DNA match with descendants of (188665) William Daniel, born est 1735, died 1804.
