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 are 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 does not 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 descendants 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 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 at additional cost.
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:

Roberta Estes - restes(a)comcast.net

Hi, I am Mary Clarkson and my brother has done a DNA test which does match many of the CLARKSON/CLAXTON dna tests done. Now we descend from a Peter CLARKSON b Lancashire, England married to Ann CONSTERDINE. This Peter had 11 children, but only one who came to America. I have tracked this James b 1849 married Mary ADAMS lived in Essex Co VA d 1824. They had five sons whose descendants I have records on.
The Peter b 1721 was baptised at St Micheal's on Wyre and had a sister Anna and a brother John. Their father was a James d 1728 married to Margaret Anderton.
I am thinking since we have many matches with VA CLARKSON we must match before James b1687. These records have been found but not definitely proved. My Family Tree is listed under BUCHHOLZ/CLARKSON on Ancestry. Would love to make a paper connection to my DNA matches. There is a Clarkson DNA website.
Descendants of Peter Clarkson
1 Peter Clarkson b: Abt. 1670 in Barnacar, Garstang, Lancashire, England d: 05 May 1695
