Barron DNA Ancestral Lineages

(This page updated May 1, 2011)
DNA Participants, Please Note: This DNA Project Website is maintained on a voluntary basis.  If you see an error or omission in any of your information on this or any other web page, please don't hesitate to contact Patrick Childress at [email protected] and request an update!  We rely on your eyes to catch our mistakes...

The following Clans (four, at present) are comprised of contemporary DNA participant/donors whose DNA marker values results on the 25-, 37- or 67-marker tests match almost perfectly.  The closer the match of alleles values, the higher the probability of having a recent common ancestor.  (Looking at it in another direction, there is virtually no possibility of any participant in one Clan being remotely related to a participant in another Clan, regardless of the duplication of the surname "Barron.") All the participants in each of the four Clans below share a common male Barron ancestor, perhaps as recently as a hundred years ago, or as far in the past as many centuries ago.

For a detailed chart presentation of all alleles values for all participants below, click on the "Public DNA Results" button to the left.  You may also view an analysis of the mutations within each Clan by clicking on the "Mutations Analysis" button.  While the determination of the exact value of each alleles value (or marker) is an advanced science, the statistical interpretation of the results is not.  We encourage any reader to contact the Project Co-administrators for assistance in evaluating individual relationships.

What do these "Clans" mean?  Every individual in each Clan is, by definition, a cousin to every other individual in their Clan.  Perhaps the relationship is "third cousin, 10 times removed," but each is a cousin to the others by virtue of having a "recent" common ancestor (say, within the last 800 years or so).  Remember, in order for an individual to be assigned to any Clan, their 25-marker DNA test results must demonstrate at least a 25% probability of having a Common Ancestor within the past 24 generations with any other individual in a Clan.

Haplogroup R1b1b2

Three participants in this Clan matched on 67 markers.  Oran Barron of the line of William Barron of Georgia; Keith Barron descends from Archibald Barron of York County, SC and Michael Barron, a descendent of William Barron of South Carolina and Tennessee, likely the line of Alexander Barron of York County, South Carolina.  Other participants differed from this baseline by only one to three markers, indicating a very tight relationship in this Clan.

Participant William Paul Barron, Jr. has the longest proven Barron lineage of any of the following participants.  One of the objectives of this DNA project was to prove the connection between William Paul Barron's ancestral line and those of the other participants, in order to validate the proposed relationship between an early American Barron, James Barron (b. 1752) and his "lost" son, Caleb Barron (b. 1797).

(Note: Since Robert Brian Barron's test was undertaken through the Sorenson Foundation, not all markers match the FTDNA basis, so our comparison is limited to comparing 24 of the first 37 markers which leads us to the conclusion that since there is a minimum of a four step mutation difference, his ancestry will represent a new Barron line, should a closer match occur in the future.  Robert's Y-DNA results confirm that his Haplogroup is R1b, as expected for most individuals who have a Scotland lineage.)
