My Paternal Line Ancestry

2013-06-16T18:04:00.002-07:00

Since it is Father's Day in the USA I thought I post my paternal line ancestry.

a)
Denval Perkins, 1921, Whitley Co., KY - 1976, Hamilton Co., OH, buried Xenia, Illinois. He served in the US Navy during WWII and the Korean War. He married 1st Mary Ruth Ball and 2nd Joyce Anderson Monk;
b)
Henry Franklin Perkins, 1882, Whitley Co., KY - 1963, McCreary Co., buried KY. He married Elanor "Nellie" Walker Inman;
c)
Jesse Perkins, 1840, Whitley Co., KY - 1894, Whitley Co. KY, buried Whitley Co., KY. He served in the KY 49th Mounted Infantry and the 7th Kentucky Cavalry during the US Civil War. He married Elizabeth Jane Creekmore;
d) William Perkins 1801, probably Grayson Co., VA - 1864, Whitley Co., KY. He married 1st, Peggy McKee, and 2nd, Rebecca Shepard;
e) Jabez Perkins, 1766?, New Haven?, CT - 1836. Will made 27 Dec 1835, probated Feb term 1836, Whitley Co., KY. He married Nancy Ann ????? (sometimes thought to be a Creekmore but no known contemporary proof). He may have married 2nd, Nancy White, 27 Dec 1835 (said to be a marriage certificate at KY State Archives, not seen by this researcher);
f) Timothy Perkins, 1736, New Haven, CT - abt 1782, NC (possibly after the Battle of King's Mountain. He was a Loyalist serving in several South Carolina militia organizations with his brother Joseph (Murtie June Clark, Loyalists in the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War). He married Miriam Sperry;
g) Joseph Perkins, 1701, New Haven, CT - abt 1776, CT or NC. He married Phebe Moulthrop;
h) Stephen Perkins, 1680, New Haven CT - 1753, New Haven, CT. He married 1st, Elizabeth Ford, and 2nd, Anne Howe;
i) John Perkins, 1651, New Haven, CT - abt 1726-27, CT. He married 1st, Mary ?????, and 2nd, Rebecca Thompson.
j) Edward Perkins, abt 1623, London, England - died before 1690 (date of recordation of deeds to his three sons). He took the Oath of Fidelity 18 October 1648 in New Haven Colony. He may be the Edward Perkins, son of William Perkins, Merchant Tailor of Abbots Salford and Saint Dunstan in the West, London, and his 2nd wife, Mary Purchas. If true he was a half-brother to Rev/Capt. William Perkins of Topsfield. Edward married Elizabeth Butcher.

My Y DNA haplogroup is R1a1h [R-L176.1] at FTDNA. This has been confirmed by testing at 23andme and the Genographic Project. It is mainly found in Scotland, England and Norway. A 37 marker match has been found with a Perkins family in England from Berkshire. Edward Perkins had 3 known sons and descendants of two have been traced to the early 20th Century and then lost. The descendants of John Perkins are this line and, so far, everyone expected to match has matched. However, because we don't have descendants of the other brothers to test, we only consider this Y line proved back to Joseph Perkins, born 1701. Descendants of two of his sons have been tested and match at 37 markers and higher. See the Parkins and Perkins Y DNA study. We are looking for a descendant of Rev William Perkins of Topsfield to test to see if the Y DNA matches.

My Y DNA is a close match to the Y DNA of the Chiefs of Clan Donald, purportedly descendants of Somerled, King of Mann and Lord of the Isles, who was killed in 1164 during the Battle of Renfew. There were Scottish rebels surnamed McDonald sent to New England in the 1600s after their defeat at the hands of the English.

Thanks to Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings blog for the idea for this post. I will continue with my maternal line and with the paternal or maternal lines of other grandparents.

The Reverend Stephen R. Davenport Symposium: 375th anniversary of the English settlement of New Haven, 13 April 2013

2013-04-01T03:59:00.002-07:00

Exploring the Early Years of New Haven

John Davenport’s ambition brought 500 settlers to the New Haven Colony in 1638. Early on, Puritan traditions took root in the Colony, shaping everyday life, education and religious toleration. To celebrate the 375th anniversary of the English settlement of New Haven in 1638, the New Haven Museum presents The Reverend Stephen R. Davenport Symposium on Saturday, April 13 from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, with support from the Davenport family and the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University. Four distinguished scholars of early American history will reveal the social impact of women’s roles, the desire for education and the importance of religion in the Puritan culture of the New Haven Colony. Lunch on your own from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm. During the lunch break, the Symposium will feature a self-guided walking tour of the New Haven Green or a special teacher workshop for educators interested in integrating primary resources and early New Haven history into their teaching. Admission is free, but registration is required. To register or for more information, contact Michelle Cheng at (203) 562-4183 x11 or education@newhavenmuseum.org.

The Symposium will open with an introduction by Dr. John Demos, Samuel Knight Professor Emeritus of History at Yale University, leading into the following lectures:

· “Building a Perimeter Fence: Toleration in Early New Haven” by Dr. Francis J. Bremer, Professor Emeritus of History at Millersville University
· “The Strange History of the Tuttles, A New Haven Family” by Dr. Ava Chamberlain, Professor of History at Wright State University
· “Women and Domestic Life in John Davenport’s New Haven” by Dr. Rebecca Tannenbaum, Senior Lecturer in History at Yale University
· “Education and the Struggle for a College in Early New Haven” by Dr. Kenneth P. Minkema, Director of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University

Additional support for The Reverend Stephen R. Davenport Symposium by The Woman’s Seamen’s Friend Society of Connecticut, Inc. and NewAlliance Foundation.

The New Haven Museum, founded in 1862 as the New Haven Colony Historical Society, is located in downtown New Haven at 114 Whitney Avenue. The Museum is currently celebrating 150 years of collecting, preserving and interpreting the history and heritage of Greater New Haven. Through its collections, exhibitions, programs and outreach, the Museum brings 375 years of New Haven history to life.

More BAD Genealogy on the Washington-Ball family

Today I got the following email from Geni.com:

The world's largest family tree

Dear Stiofan,

Did you know that you and George Washington, 1st President of the USA are related? George Washington, 1st President of the USA is your second cousin 7 times removed! Click on the link below to see your relationship path to George Washington, 1st President of the USA for FREE!

Click here to see how you're related to George Washington, 1st President of the USA![link removed]

On December 14, 1799, George Washington died in Mount Vernon, Virginia. Washington served as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and presided over the drafting of the American Constitution. Widely regarded as the "father of the country," Washington also served as the first president of the United States. After retiring from the presidency, he returned to his home in Mount Vernon to attend to his plantation. Upon his death, Washington freed all of his slaves in his will. George Washington is connected to over 66 million people in Geni's World Family Tree. How are you related?

The link they site is to John Ball of Stafford and Fairfax counties Virginia via Richard Ball of Maryland, son of Col. William Ball. This link is WRONG. This is shown by the article by Christopher Johnston, "A Forgotten Member of the Ball Family", serialised in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, vol. VII, pp. 440-441 and vol. VIII, pp. 80-83 (1900), reprinted in Genealogies of Virginia Families, vol. 1, pp. 23-27 (1981), recounts how court records show Col. William Ball went to Maryland and probated the estate of his son Richard Ball. Richard had one daughter and NO OTHER CHILDREN.

Others have put forward Richard Ball and Elizabeth Linton as the parents of John Ball. The father of Elizabeth Linton was a Moses Linton of Lower Norfolk Co., VA. Richard Ball and Elizabeth with several Lintons moved to the Fairfax-Stafford county area from Norfolk Co. At this time, there is no known record evidence which links Richard Ball and Elizabeth Linton with John Ball.

In their book The Ball Family of the Potomac, 1654-2004, by Doris LeClerc Ball, Ph.D. George L. Ball, M.S., it is shown that DNA studies link John Ball of Stafford Co with a James Ball of Maryland.

The Ball DNA study has two descendants of Col William Ball in haplogroup I, kit #112926 and kit #13692. I have traced them back to a son of Col. William Ball using census, probate and land records. The descendants of John Ball are in Haplogroup R1b. They are NOT related.

The National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections and ArchiveGrid

2012-08-05T07:56:00.000-07:00

Often when doing genealogical or family history research in the United States you want to know if there are manuscript materials available. In the past this was done using the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections in a printed series of several hundred volumes or by going to the online site at http://www.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/

OCLC has now opened up one of it's proprietary databases, ArchiveGrid, to the public, http://beta.worldcat.org/archivegrid/

With ArchiveGrid you can share your location with OCLC and it can pinpoint archive collections near you. You can also enter the location details or the postal zip code for a location to get links to archives in an area of interest to your genealogy.

Hopefully this will remain a free resource after it exits beta testing.

Persons with ancestry in the United Kingdom can use the Access to Archives, A2A, site at https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/

1940 US Census released on 2 April 2012

2012-04-01T19:03:00.002-07:00

Tomorrow the 1940 United States Population Census will be released. In order to find someone in this Census it is necessary to know the Enumeration district the person or family lived in at the time of the Census. My ancestors and immediate relatives are in three main locations: Hamilton County, Ohio and Whitley and McCreary Counties, Kentucky.

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County has placed many Cincinnati City Directories online and these allow you to get the address where your relative was living. Once you have the address you can go to either the National Archives or to the 1940 Unified Finder Steven Morse One Step page to get the enumeration District number. With that number you can view the 1940 Census page to search that ED for your relatives.

Name indices are not expected to be available until later in April and not to be available for all of the USA and its Possessions until the end of the year.

Connected Online PedigreeTrees

2010-12-13T11:33:00.000-08:00

I have used a number of connected online tree sites: One World Tree; Rootsweb's World Connect, World Connect and the Allen County Public Library's wiki, WeRelate.

This weekend I entered in 5 generations of ancestors, or 62 names into WeRelate. There are tutorial videos and texts on the WeRelate site that I suggest you watch and read before you begin. I first created GEDCOMs from my Legacy Family Tree database, one for my father's ancestry and another for my mother's ancestry. I submitted them to We Relate and got back a log of possible errors. Most of them dealt with dates. Since the keyboard on my personal computer sometimes duplicates the number 1, I'll check for those mistakes. I then decided to just enter five generations by hand. Somehow my fathers parents don't seem to be connected to him even though I've gone over the steps of creating the individual and family entries several time. Once I get that straight, I'll blog about the process.

I was surprised that only 6 of 62 names were already in the WeRelate system.

I recommend that you check out the WeRelate site if finding out how you connect to others is of interest to you.

Article: Inferential Genotyping of Y Chromosomes in Latter-Day Saints Founders and Comparison to Utah Samples in the HapMap Project

Inferential Genotyping of Y Chromosomes in Latter-Day Saints Founders
and Comparison
to Utah Samples in the HapMap Project

http://www.cell.com/AJHG/retrieve/pii/S0002929709000251 [Link to PDF here]

Jane Gitschier1,*

One concern in human genetics research is maintaining the privacy of
study participants. The growth in genealogical registries may
contribute to loss of privacy, given that genotypic information is
accessible online to facilitate discovery of genetic relationships.
Through iterative use of two such web archives, FamilySearch and
Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, I was able to discern
the likely haplotypes for the Y chromosomes of two men, Joseph Smith
and Brigham Young, who were instrumental in the founding
of the Latter-Day Saints Church. I then determined whether any of the
Utahns who contributed to the HapMap project (the ‘‘CEU’’
set) is related to either man, on the basis of haplotype analysis of
the Y chromosome. Although none of the CEU contributors appear
to be a male-line relative, I discovered that predictions could be
made for the surnames of the CEU participants by a similar process.
For 20 of the 30 unrelated CEU samples, at least one exact match was
revealed, and for 17 of these, a potential ancestor from Utah
or a neighboring state could be identified. For the remaining ten
samples, a match was nearly perfect, typically deviating by only
one marker repeat unit. The same query performed in two other large
databases revealed fewer individual matches and helped to clarify
which surname predictions are more likely to be correct. Because large
data sets of genotypes from both consenting research subjects and
individuals pursuing genetic genealogy will be accessible online, this
type of triangulation between databases may compromise the
privacy of research subjects.

Mormon or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) Genealogy

As stated in an earlier post, I am related to Emma Hale, the wife of Joseph Smith,one of the founders of the LDS church.

Genealogical Society of New Jersey meeting, 5 June 2010

2010-06-13T21:06:00.000-07:00

I attended the Genealogical Society of New Jersey meeting at Monmouth University on 5 June 3010. I had intended to attend the Bergen County Genealogical Society meeting but the GSNJ meeting was exactly what I needed for several genealogical projects I am working on.

The first two lectures I attended were on Dutch research. The first was an intro to the resources of the Dutch Reformed Church in America housed in New Brunswick. I will be contacting them about some marriages that were supposed to have been performed in the 1600s in New Amsterdam/New York. The lecturer was Russell Gasero, Archivist for the Reformed Church in American

The second was about identifying Dutch families in New York and New Jersey. I am trying to determine where Capt Jenkin Morgan lived in New Jersey and where his son lived and was married. I am also interested in ship captain's certificates issued by the Dutch in both the Netherlands and in America. I am trying to determine if my ancestor, Renelder Walker's mother might have been Dutch. Henry
Hoff was the lecturer. He is a Certified Genealogist, a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists and Editor of The New England Historical and Genealogical Register.

The third lecture was on United Methodist Church Records. I learned that Methodist Circuit Riders were fully ordained Ministers. Many took correspondence courses before they were ordained. My ancestor, Rev James Sullivan, was ordained by Bishop Asbury at Nashville, Tennessee in 1793. I am told there should be a memoire or obituary available for him. I'll also look for some Perkins and Tunnell relatives. Materials from the Mission work of the Church are in the Archives and one Perkins cousin was a missionary to China in the 1800s. The lecturer was Dale Patterson, from the General Commission on Archives and History of The United Methodist Church, Drew University, Madison, NJ

The last lecture was on Quaker records at Haverford. This was an interesting session with a nice guide to the archives given out by the lecturer. I'll be checking for a biography of my ancestress, Mother Mary Bennefield Phipps, a noted Quaker Preacher who died in the early 1700s. It was printed in an issue of the Quaker periodical, The Friend. This program was presented by Ann Wetherill Upton, Quaker Bibliographer in Special Collections, Haverford College, Haverford, PA.

I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures and thank the GSNJ for providing them.

My Brick Walls start to appear at the 5th generation back with some of my Great Great Great Grandparents.

Who is Nancy Ann, the wife of Jabez Perkins? We know her name is Nancy Ann because she signed a release for the sale of land when they left Pulaski Co., KY and moved to Bureau Co., IL. Some people believe her family name is Creekmore, but I have found no contemporary evidence for that. After the death of Jabez a Nancy Perkins renounced her portion from the will. I assume she wanted her "widow's third" instead. I have not found any documents about the disposition of Jabez' estate either in Kentucky or Illinois court records. To further complicate the situation, one researcher told me there is a marriage license in Frankfort for Jabez Perkins and Nancy White dated just before his death. I have not seen that marriage license.
Who is Elizabeth S., wife of William Campbell? She is Elizabeth S. in the Census and is named Elizabeth Osburn on the marriage certificate of their son Jasper Newton Campbell. I have been told her family name is Harrison or Osburn. Which is correct and who are her parents and siblings?
Who is Charlotte, wife of William Ball? Who are her parents and siblings? I have her as a daughter of James Harvey May and Elizabeth King, but what is the documentation for that?
Who is John D. Swain, or DeSwain, husband of Isabel or Nancy Swain? Deed records show his name in both ways. Who are his parents and siblings?
Who is Isabel or Nancy Swain, wife of John D. Swain? Who are her parents and siblings?
Who is Margaret Bagley, or Begley, wife of Elias Kidd. They were married in Tazewell Co., VA and then moved to Whitley Co., KY. Who are her parents and siblings?
Who is Susan Hayes, wife of Zorababel Stephens? Susan was born in either NC or SC and lived in Claiborne and Fentress Co., TN. Who were her parents and siblings?

Any assistance will be appreciated.
