Hi Groups,
More Clark results came back from FTDNA today. Our second Clark testee had
a perfect match with the first Clark testee in our line on the 12 marker
test. On the 25 markers, there was one difference which was on allele 458.
One had 16; the other had a value of 17.
A 24/25 result on the test (same surname) is considered a match with a
mutation.
The two Clarks above are from my father's generation. Their earliest known
ancestor is Eli Clark who was born cir 1775 in either GA or NC. ELi was in
Burke Co. GA by 1807.
The Clark with the value of 16 on marker 458 is the descendant of Eli's
oldest son, Eli Robert. The Clark with the value of 17 is descended from
Eli's younger son, Christopher. So the men's MCR ancestor is their great,
great grandfather, Eli, four generations back if I'm counting right.
I'm anxious for other Clarks to be tested so we can see which value for #458
is the mutation.
At this time, no other Clarks in the Clark DNA study have had the 25 marker
test, but one who matches several people 11/12 is going to upgrade to it.
Hopefully, we will soon find matches beyond our paper trail.
Just wanted to share my excitement and encourage others to participate.
Regards,
Mitzi Clark Bateman
