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 l[email protected] and request an update!  We rely on your eyes to catch our mistakes...

When we examine the Y-DNA results, we speak in terms of "repetitions" which are the numerical values assigned to each of the 12-, 25-, 37- or 67-marker positions.  These "repetitions" range from a low of about "8" to a high of about "38" for each marker, or alleles.  Once we've managed to group individuals together in a common "Clan" based on the similarity of marker values (repetitions) on each of the alleles, the mathematical value of each marker is immaterial.  For example, we just know that Clan 1 is comprised of eight individuals whose values are identical on each of the 34 of 37 marker values (alleles).  Thus, we can effectively discard all those marker values in each Clan where all the members have identical results and concentrate only on the markers where there are mutations from the baseline for the Clan.  (The baseline is that repetition number which is associated with the greatest number of participants for each marker.)

The purpose of the following table is to draw the reader's attention to those mutations from each Clan baseline for each participant.  By carefully examining each participant's mutations, particularly where there are matching mutations with other participants, we can begin to draw fairly accurate conclusions concerning the Barron family tree and its various branches.  Any of the 12-, 25-, 37- or 67-markers not shown in the following table indicates that all participants within that Clan had identical mathematical values for that marker.

Click here for a complete spreadsheet of all marker values for all participants (wait a moment for the data to load to the page).

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.  Click here to review each Clan Lineage.

(Red marker numbers below  indicate a "fast mutating" marker...average mutations occur only once every 6,000 years or so; these fast mutating markers can change more quickly.  Click on the Haplogroup designation below to go to a definition page describing that Haplogroup's origin.)

OBSERVATIONS:
The following notes pertain to the existence of individual marker mutations when compared to the baseline of the MRCA.  Mutations that exist in only one case are highlighted in yellow while those carried by more than one participant are highlighted in green.  These mutations are more important as they can lead to the identity of more recent family lines.

The ancestors of Jerry Wayne Barron, Richard Larry Barron and John Lee Barron migrated to Chambers/Tallapoosa Counties, AL in the 1830's.  Jerry descends from Robert Barron, Larry and John from Thomas Barron.  Robert and Thomas were brothers whose father may have been Thomas Barron of York/Union Counties, SC.  All three participants experienced a mutation from baseline on fast-mutating marker 439 - the only three participants in this clan with that mutation.  Jerry and Larry have one-step mutations, John has a two-step mutation.

Justin and Joseph Russell Barron (15314) are descendents of William Barron, Jr.'s son, Smith Barron.  The 3-step positive mutation of 27 on the YCAIIb marker has to have occurred in the Y-DNA of Smith Barron since another descendent of William Barron, Jr., Chip Barron (71454) through son James, shows a 5-step negative mutation of 19.

Michael James and Kenneth Derald Barron share the same unique, single step mutation of marker GATAH4.  Derald likely descends from William Barron of Pendleton, SC and later Cass County, GA, a near relative (possibly a nephew) of Michael James Barron's ancestor, Alexander Barron.  Both William and Alexander settled in Pendleton County, SC in the late 1700's.

Daniel Barnes matches perfectly the Clan 2 baseline on 37 markers.  The MRCA between his line and four participants (Oran Barron, Michael David Barron, Brent Cody Barron and Keith Reeves Barron), who also match the baseline on 37 markers, must have lived in the early 1700s or prior.  Whereas the ancestors of the other four participants immigrated to America from Ireland in the mid-1700s, Daniel's immigrant ancestor arrived in America in 1886.  At some time in Ireland, this family came to be known as Barnes rather than Barron.

Fred Barron's 37-marker Y-DNA results show the most mutations (four) from baseline in Clan 2.  Other participants descending from Barrons in York and Union Counties, SC, and from William Barron of GA have no more than two mutations.  Analysis indicates that these other participants most likely have a more recent common ancestor, perhaps in the late 1600s or early 1700s.  The common ancestor shared by these participants with Fred Barron may be much earlier, perhaps as early as the 1500s.

The fact that only Charles Henson and Jack Leslie Barron both have a mutation at the marker CDYa marker (a slow mutating marker), gives rise to the thought that they may have a common ancestor whose DNA marker mutated since the common ancestor for all these participants.  However, the fact that there are five additional mutations between these participants seemingly contradicts this possibility.  Additional research is required.
