Oyster Bay, New York - Three Brothers

 

Background Information and Comments

 

Haplogroup

Haplogroup R1b1b2 predicted, one person has actually been tested as R1b1b2a1b4

Haplogroup R1b1c is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype. 

 

Relationships

The father of the three brothers Henry, John, Richard has not been identified. Some of the DNA men tested claim or have proof of decendency from one or another of these brothers, but a number have not claimed decendency from a specific brother. The ancestor name in bold indicates a documented ancestry back to the three brothers. In addition the presences of mutations that probably are shared as opposed to separately occurring link some persons together.                 

While the father of the three brothers or an even earlier ancestor might be the common link for those in this family group, a number those tested have more recent common ancestors that they share with others in this group. 

NOTES for JOHN descendants

Known relationships more recent than the three brothers include: Sean P. #13157 and father David C. #7414. They appear to vary from the group by 2 markers but only vary by 1 marker because 389-ii is actually the total of 389-i and the result of 389-ii. Both have a mutation not present in anyone else in the Oyster Bay Group.

NOTES for HENRY descendants

Known relationships more recent than the three brothers include: Hezekiah born April 15, 1833, New York, married Caroline Green, born July 19, 1836 Michigan. These results (the person tested has not been identified) appear in the Sorenson Foundation (www.smgf.com) database matching 27-27 for the markers that are common between the 37 markers of FTDNA and those reported by Sorenson. A partial family tree that accompanies these results lists Hezekiah who is known to descend from brother Henry. David R. #75264 and Robert F. #34855 have tested out to 67 markers and match exactly on markers 38 through 67. Robert B. #34855 and his son Peter W. #28068 both have a mutation not present in anyone else in the Oyster Bay Group.

Another person with a solid paper trail back to brother Henry appears to have a non-paternity event within the four most recent generations. He is related to #39265 down to their ggggrandfather. This persons test results are shown n a separate group.
