Hello List,
We have results returned for Member #143924. Rather surprisingly, all 67
markers returned at once! This quick return turns out to be a pleasant surprise
on several counts...
#143924 is a descendant of Charles CARRICO (c1770s-1830s) of MD, Washington Co.,
KY, and Sullivan Co., IN, through his son, Basil CARRICO (1793-1872), also of KY
and Sullivan Co., IN. He turns out to be a 66/67 match with the modal haplotype
for descendants of Peter CARRICO I, 1674 immigrant to Maryland:

and this is a very pleasant result because, if you will recall, a descendant of
Charles's son, Reason CARRICO, is not a match with the family and has an NPE in
his lineage. This test result pushes the NPE down his patrilineal line one
generation, removing the specter that it would affect all of Charles's
descendants. We now know it does not and presumably does not affect the
descendants of Charles's brother, Josiah CARRICO, either. I have revised his
node chart to reflect this new information:

This 66/67 match with the modal haplotype means #143924 has acquired one
mutation in his descent from Peter I. Interestingly, he shares this mutation
with a tested descendant of James T. CARRICO (1764-1815), husband of Joanna
KEITH, who was born in Charles Co., MD, and died in Washington Co., KY.
The identity of James T's parents has always been in dispute, as has the
identity of Charles's parents. While their matching mutation does not reveal
the identity of their parents, it strongly suggests they are either brothers or
first cousins (i.e., have the same father or grandfather). That they were both
in Washington Co., KY, in the 1790s is not inconsistent with their being
related. I have revised the CARRICO node chart to reflect this new information:

This result is a great relief to me, personally, because I descend from
Charles's daughter, Catherine (CARRICO) TRIMBLE. It may be a relief to you, as
well, because, otherwise, I'm not certain I would have had the heart to continue
running the project. This experience reinforces my conviction that *every* male
needs to be Y-DNA tested. Otherwise, you simply cannot be certain you are who
you think you are, no matter how solid your paper pedigree.
