Great!!! I can hardly wait!! I'm still trying to find a participant from my own line:)) For anyone out there listening, that line is James Clarkson/Claxton and his male direct line descendents from Lee Co Va and Claiborne and Hancock Counties in Tennessee. If you know of any Clarkson/Claxton males who descend from any of these lines, please, please contact me.

Hi,
I'm trying to find info on James Clarkson who was a sea captain out of Gloucester, Massachsuetts. He died in 1849 and was born around 1816. The story we have is that he was killed by natives from an island, while sailing around Cape Horn. The story goes that his wife Eliza was with him on this voyage and when he died she pickled him and put him in a barrel and sailed the ship back to Gloucester, their home port.The sea chest has her name on the inside and is dated 1847. If any one has any info on James or Eliza. I would really appreciate any help as this is a family story and would love to know if it's true. Eliza last name was Brown and according to records they were married Feb. 17, 1845.
Thank you
Lillian Arends

Roberta,
This sounds ever so exciting. I am delighted to see it. I am currently trying to recruit male descenants from my line, carrying the Clark/Clarkson/Clarkston (all variations) name to act as participants.
I tried to log on to www.familytreedna.com and it failed. I also copied it and pasted it from your posting. It also failed. Can you provide a working link?
Again,
Thank you

List Members,
We are pleased to announce the Clarkson, Claxton and Clarkston DNA
surname project. Please consider participating if you are descended
from any of these lines. Our goals initially identified for this
project are as follows:
1. To determine if the Claxton, Clarkson and Clarkston lines are
connected.
2. To connect the various lines with their ancestors and to
differentiate between the lines.
3. To determine if Jeremiah Claxton is related to James Claxton
progenitor of the Wright Co., Missouri Claxtons and one line of
Tennessee Claxtons.
4. To determine if Thomas Clarkson of Lee Co Virginia and James
Clarkson/Claxton of Claiborne Co. Tennessee were in fact brothers, and
if so, if George Middleton Clarkson, executed in the State of Franklin
in about 1785 was their father (if possible).
5. To determine if the Claxton families of Oklahoma, Missouri,
Tennessee, and Georgia are related.
6. To determine if the Tennessee, Virginia and Pennsylvania lines re
related.
7. To identify our immigrant ancestor(s) if possible.
8. To determine our Clarkson/Claxton/Clarkston native homeland.
9. To break down those brick walls.
If you descend from any of these lines, please, please consider
participating. You can be the representative descendent from your line.
We need participants and you will hopefully connect with other lines
since the advent of surnames. You will also find out about your own
deep ancestry, before surnames were used, and where your ancestors
originated.
In order to participate in the testing, a linear male descendent is
required. Many females who cannot themselves participate successfully
find a male relative bearing the last name being tested and have their
"cousin" represent their line.
A linear male is required because the portion of the DNA being tested is
on the Y chromosome and only males have the Y chromosome. It is not
intermixed with the mother's chromosomes, since females doesn't have
one, so therefore it is passed from father to son intact, not intermixed
with the mother's DNA. Because of that, and the fact that mutations
occur very slowly, we can use it to determine if various descendents
come from a common ancestor.
The testing is painless, a simple cheek swab. You can obtain further
information about the DNA testing process by viewing the web site of the
company who will be providing the testing at www.familytreedna.com
<http://www.familytreedna.com/> .
You can sign up for the testing by typing Claxton, Clarkson or Clarkston
in the search box at the top right of their web page. On the page that
is returned, click on the name and an ordering page will be displayed.
Please order at least the 25 marker test, as the 12 marker test often
does not provide enough different markers to determine lineage and the
participants wind up upgrading to the 25 marker test anyway.
After your test results are returned, Mary Ann Claxton and Roberta
Estes, your project administrators, will assist you in understanding
your results, compare your results to others who have tested,
establishing family groupings, and will be glad to answer questions you
may have. We will in the future create web space to provide
information about the DNA project and results.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at:
