Autosomal DNA
|
Based on the autosomal DNA results of Henry Blankensein
and 2 cousins, it
has been proven that the family of Planter John Lewis descends from both the
Zachary Lewis and the Warner Hall Lewis family lines.
That would explain why the names in both the Zachary Lewis family and the
Warner Hall Lewis family are represented in the Planter John Lewis line through
several generations and why the Owen Lewis family (son of Planter John Lewis)
claimed descent from Zachary Lewis the Immigrant.
That speculative connection is documented in many of the older genealogy
books on the early Lewis ancestors but was never proven. While autosomal DNA is very valuable in tying families
together, it does not give specifics as to the individuals that match.
The amount of DNA shared between 2 individuals of the same line gives
approximation as to the generation where they connect to their common ancestor.
This is not considered proof of a specific ancestor as with traditional
DNA research, but it does prove that the 2 individuals that matched have a
common ancestor. When the early documentation is not available, autosomal
DNA can be
invaluable in putting lines together and understanding the various naming
patterns. The lesser the amount of matching centimorgans (cM) between
2 people the further back the match. Charts
that help with this process indicate that a match of 6 to 20 cMs means the
person you match is most likely your 5th to 8th cousin
indicating a match with a common ancestor 6 to 9 generations back (or a common
ancestor at the 4th to 7th great grandparent level). Henry
Blankenstein who descends through the Planter John Lewis line matched with
multiple people claiming descendant from: Zachary
Lewis Line having between 6.4 cM and 14.8 cM more toward the higher end Warner Hall Lewis Line having between 6.1 cM and 13.3 cM
more about in the middle range Owen Lewis (father of Planter John) had children named
Elizabeth, Sarah, Anne, John. Owen
Lewis (son of Planter John) introduced the name Nicholas, Robert, and William.
All of those names can be seen through the Warner Hall Lewis line.
The next generations added the name Meriwether which married into the
Warner Hall Lewis line on many occasions. With
the information available, it is impossible to know how and where there is a
connection, but autosomal DNA does prove that the line of Planter John Lewis
does have common ancestors with both the lines of Zachary Lewis the Immigrant and Warner Hall
Lewis. As of March 2019 -
