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...Also, please be aware that this web page is updated only when all results from an individual's testing have been received. There frequently is a several week delay between receipt of the first 12-marker test results and the extended results, so please be patient.
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 absolute value of each marker is immaterial - we just know that Clan 1, for example, is comprised of four individuals whose marker values are identical on all but a few of the marker values.
Thus, once we have determined the constituents of a "Clan," we can effectively discard all those marker values in each Clan where all the members have identical results and then 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 Overton 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 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 "cousin, 10 times removed," but each is a cousin to the others by virtue of having a common ancestor. 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.

(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.)

George
Johnson (Sponsor is 1st Cousin, Angela Clyburn) |
12 | 30 | 11 | 25 | 29 | 37 | George Johnson's Y-DNA results reflect a near-perfect match with the proposed "Ancestral Signature" (see above Clan 1 baseline) at the extended, 67-marker level. This would indicate that there is a very high probability of either a "non-aligning paternal event" such as an unannounced adoption, a surname change from "Overton" to "Johnson" or infidelity in the past. The possibility also exists that distant ancestors for the Johnson family line and the Overton family line were closely related before the assignment of surnames (about 1,000 years ago) and that mutations have been virtually non-existent in both lines. |

However, his marker profile is close enough to the baseline that there is little doubt that Colin is part of this Clan. Using the FTDNA Relationship Calculator, there is a greater than 50% probability that Colin and Marvin Cartmell Overton had a common ancestor within the past eight generations (about 200 years). There is a greater than 93% probability of a common ancestor between these two participants going back 16 generations (about 400 years). |

Steve Randall Overton | 11 | 17 | 37 | Steve's Haplogroup is defined by FTDNA as R1b1b2a1b, thus the balance of this Clan 3 may rest assured their Haplogroup also is R1b1b2a1b. (It's interesting to note that Steve's initial test results from FTDNA indicated a very high number of marker mutations (three out of 37) but subsequent retesting demonstrated that the first test had errors and that in reality, Steve had no mutations at all when compared to the calculated "baseline") |

15 | 17 | 37 | Scott's marker result on 385a, a fast mutating marker, is a bit misleading as it suggests that there is a four-step mutation difference between Scott and the Clan 3 baseline (11 versus 15). However this mutating phenomenon is known as a "RecLOH" an abbreviation for "Recombinational Loss of Heterozygosity." In this case, a marker overwrites itself and instead of mutating only once, the mutation appears multiple times. For the purpose of genealogical analysis, this mutation is regarded as a single step mutation. Thus, the probability of a common ancestor existing between Scott and Harold and Robert within the last 16 generations is 90%; within the last 8 generations, 50%, based on the 25-marker tests. Since Walter and Steve Randall Overton both have 37-marker tests completed, we can state that the probability of a common ancestor for these two individuals within the last 16 generations is 97%; within the last 8 generations, 72%; and a 31% probability of a common ancestor between these two individuals within the last 4 generations. | |

11 | 11 | 15 | 19 | Whether Malcolm and the other two members of this Clan 6 are related in the genealogical sense (within the past 500 years or so) remains to be discovered. Here's what FTDNA has to say about a mismatch of 3 out of 25 markers between Malcolm and Benjamin: "You share the same surname (or a variant) but are off by 3 'points' or 3 locations on the 25 markers tested. If enough time has passed it is possible that you and another distantly related family members' line each have had a mutation, or perhaps 2. The only way to prove that is to test additional family lines and find where the mutation took place. Only by further testing can you find the person in between each of you.." Interestingly, the mismatches occurred on the markers identified by FTDNA as being most likely to change, or mutate, between two related individuals with the same surname. Statistically speaking, we have to go back more than 16 generations (nearly 400 years) to have at least a 50/50 chance of finding a common ancestor. | |

Based on their 37-marker tests, Kenneth and Christopher have more than an 87% probability of a common ancestor within the past eight generations. Analysis of their lineage chart reveals a common resident state of New York for their ancestors in the 18th century. It's possible that their earliest known ancestors (Nathaniel b. 1712 and David b. abt. 1712) were brothers and if not, certainly close cousins. |
