Well, here we go again. I sent this message at 3:32 PM on Monday, and it didn't
arrive on the list until 2:53 AM on Tuesday *after* my own reply to it. I sent
the reply at 4:19 PM on Monday, and it arrived at 10:30 PM on Monday, four and a
half ours before the message to which it was a reply!
So, I'm sorry that the reply arriving first means it couldn't have made sense.
If the chatter on LISTOWNERS-L is any indication, other admins are experiencing
the same, including even longer delays between the time a message is sent and
when it arrives on the list. RootWeb is aware of the problem and is working on
it. Of course, they don't clue us in on what the problem is or how soon we can
expect things to get back to normal.
I can understand a delay (e.g., if a server's down or overloaded). For the life
of me I can't understand how the messages come back out of order.

Subject: [CARRICO-DNA] Charles CARRICO s/o Pherell LITTLETON?
Some of you may recall that #132113, the descendant of
Charles CARRICO of
Sullivan Co., IN, apparently has an NPE in his lineage
because he doesn't match
the CARRICOs who presumably descend from Peter CARRICO I.
You may also recall
that he does have a significant match (62/67) with one other
person: a
LITTLETON (#89853).
I have now been in contact with the wife of the LITTLETON,
and she has kindly
shared his lineage with me, so I have added it to the results page:
http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/DNA/Carrico/CarricoDNA-results-HgR1b.shtml
I have also created a Node Chart for these two individuals,
to guide us in
determining their relationship and which individuals to seek
out to solve the
questions here:
http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/DNA/Carrico/NodeChart-Carrico-Littleton.shtml
I'm sad to say that, in compiling the chart, I believe we may
have found the
only place these two families might have crossed paths, and
that would be at the
very root of these pedigrees. Charles is alleged to have
been born ca. 1772 in
Montgomery Co., MD, which is adjacent to Loudoun Co., VA, location of
Pherell/Pherill LITTLETON at about that time. Given their
ages, the only
relationship apparently possible here is that Charles CARRICO
is a son of
Pherrel LITTLETON.
Obviously, this is catastrophic news for anyone descended
from Charles,
including #132113 and myself.
We desperatately need more cousins tested to confirm or refute this
relationship. We especially need to test a patrilineal male
descendant of
Charles's brother, Josiah.
My offer to chip in $50 towards the test still stands. If
you plan to do it,
please do it before 31 Dec 2008, so we can take advantage of
the temporary $30
discount being offered by FTDNA on 37 and 67 marker tests.
If you want to do
the minimum, a 12-marker test would at least tell us whether
you are a CARRICO
or a LITTLETON. There's no discount on 12-marker tests, but
the cost is only
$99, plus S&H, so I would split the cost.
