Subject: [CARROLL-DNA] Partial DNA results are back
The first 12 markers have come back for my kin who is a descendant of
Alexander Carroll who married in Sampson County, NC in 1783.
There will be all 37 markers in a few weeks. It is listed as # 32061. As
I expected, it matches perfectly with a descendant of
Jesse Carroll # 30624 and with a descendant of Dempsey Carroll, Jr. #
29146. I believe Alexander and Dempsey Jr. are brothers, but
we have no proof on paper. The results have been posted on the Carroll
page at FamilyTreeDNA, and Kevin has also posted it on the
site for Carroll DNA where he can post some of the lineage. This newest
one is presently posted as Private, but we will get some
pedigree info there to go with it. It will be Gaston Abram C < Hardy
Royal C < Major Hardy C < Alexander C in Sampson Co, NC.
The contributor of the DNA is 97 years young and still walks a mile every
day pushing his wheeled walker. I'd say those are pretty
good genes.
So far we have identified two family lines in Sampson County, NC. The
three above in one family and # 28445 in the other line.
There were lots of Carrolls who descend from these families in Sampson, so
I hope our results will be helpful to other researchers
in future years.
As soon as the last markers are posted for # 32061, I want to try to find
a known descendant of the early Johnston County, NC
Carrolls and try to encourage them to be tested. I believe our three
alike will match with them. I also want to find a known
descendant of the very early Isle of Wight County, VA family.
Excited,
Lura Southard
