Travelling People / Re: Colonial American Buckley lineage identified
« on: Monday 18 November 24 15:37 GMT (UK)  »
Thought I would update this post.
Mr. Buckley's widow was able to upgrade her deceased husband to the autosomal DNA test, and he was later placed in Y Haplogroup H-M2867, which is downstream of H-M82.

Because he is deceased, his Y DNA test can not be upgraded to the Big Y test, but I am fairly certain had he been Big Y tested, he would have been placed some where around Y Haplogroup H-BY67262 or just downstream of H-BY67262.

It would take a close male family member of Mr. Buckley to do the Big Y test in his place, in order to know exactly what his Y Haplogroup ( SNP ) would be.

No Romani family tree can ever truly be complete, if even one branch of the family tree remains unknown.
An unknown number of Romanies from the UK, were transported to the American Colonies as convicts as early as the 1680's era, possibly a bit earlier then that.

Those Roma / Romani paternal lineages whom do carry this rare South Asian Y Haplogroup H-M82*, can not be confused as being of any other ancestry other then being of Roma / Romani ancestry.

Those Roma / Romani paternal lineages who already know they are positive for H-M82*, I would highly encourage you to consider upgrading your Y DNA test to the Big Y 700 test some day.
The Big Y test is where the really exciting information is being discovered.

Locke Group 10 in the Locke DNA project, the descendants of John Locke b. about 1700 in London,
d. 1743 in Colonial Pennsylvania. Theirs is a very interesting case in the fact that their SNP "Y Haplogroup" has mutated at least 3 times since the birth of the Parent SNP.

Their Parent SNP is Y Haplogroup I-BY176406, in which one British Locke participant has tested positive for I-BY176406. The Colonial American Locke descendants have been placed in three SNP's downstream of I-BY176406, they are as follows Y Haplogroup I-BY177351,  I-BY176663 and I-FTG35740.

In laymans terms, this means through out their paternal family history, their Y Haplogroup ( SNP ) has mutated 3 times, it is still the same paternal Lock / Locke family tree, but now this lineage has clear proof their Y Haplogroup ( SNP ) has mutated over the generations.

Lock / Locke men of the UK are encouraged to consider joining the Locke DNA project.
The genealogical paper records alone, does not always tell you everything you need to know in regards as to who is related, and who is not related to you. Your Lock / Locke paternal lineage, maybe just a branch of a much larger Lock / Locke family tree that the paper records never mentioned.

Locke family Group 2 in the Locke DNA project, the descendants of Richard Lock ( who is of British Romani ancestry ) & Mary of Colonial Virginia, has had a second participant upgraded to the Big Y 700 test.

Thanks to this upgrade to the Big Y, Group 2 has been moved to Y Haplogroup H-BY78231.
Both Group 2 Big Y participants are now at their final Terminal SNP ( Y Haplogroup ).

August 2024 was an exceptionally good month for the Locke DNA project thanks to some very generous donors, the project was able to upgrade 5 Y DNA participants to the Big Y DNA test.

Of those being upgraded to the Big Y test:
Family Group 2 a direct descendant of Richard Lock & Mary of Frederick County, Virginia Colony mid 1700's era. This will be the second Group 2 participant being upgraded to the Big Y.
Group 2 is also Y DNA proven to be related to Matthew Lock & Rememberance Boswell of England.

Family Group 5, a direct descendant of Thomas Locke & Susannah Henry of Botetourt County, Virginia Colony late 1700's era, Thomas was reportedly born in England.

Group 10, three direct male descendants of Col. Francis Locke of  Rowan County, North Carolina Colony are being upgraded to the Big Y, this lineage has direct ties to Devon, England.
This will give Group 10 a total of 6 Big Y participants tested, 5 in the USA, 1 in England.

Family Group 19, a direct descendant of Harvey Locke b. 1823 Greene County, Pennsylvania USA

Multiple Lock / Locke men in the Locke DNA project have agreed to allowing the project pay to get them upgraded to the Big Y DNA test for free.

One of those on the waiting list for a free Big Y upgrade is from Family Group 15, a direct descendant of James Locke b. 1764 of Dundas County Ontario, Canada.

The Locke DNA project has moved its goal to getting as many men in the project upgraded to the Big Y test, the most expensive and comprehensive Y DNA & SNP ( Y Haplogroup ) test available on the market.

Once the project has all those existing project participants willing to be upgraded to the Big Y upgraded, we will be moving to the next phase, which is to start offering Lock / Locke men of Canada, Australia, UK and elsewhere a free Big Y DNA test.

Being able to offer free Big Y upgrades for existing project participants and free Big Y tests to potential new participants, totally relies on donations being made to the project, to be able to pay for those free upgrades and free tests in the near future.

If you are a Lock / Locke man outside the USA and you are interested in being Y DNA or Big Y DNA tested, please visit the Locke DNA project online and send Donald Locke or George Locke and email them and let them know you are interested in being placed on the waiting list.
The Locke DNA project which includes the Lock spelling, is a global project, not a USA project contrary to popular belief.

The whole purpose of the Y DNA and Big Y DNA test, is to use the male Y chromosome to prove kinship beyond any shadow of a doubt. Ever wonder if that other Lock / Locke family residing in the same region as yourself is related to you? This is where the Y DNA and Big Y DNA test can play a huge roll in our genealogical research, by proving to yourself who you are related to, and or proving who you are not related to.

Every Y DNA match found to a Lock / Locke man anywhere in the world, is a genetic clue for your genealogical family tree research to follow in the paper records research.

Your Lock / Locke family tree maybe just a branch of a much larger Lock / Locke family tree that you never knew existed because the paper records did not mention other kinship's for you to be able to follow those other kinship's in the genealogical records.

The Group 9 participant did indeed get upgraded to the Big Y DNA test and he is a Big Y DNA match to Group 9.

Here is the latest Big Y participants family tree.

Descendants of Samuel Lock
                                 
   1     Samuel Lock      b: Abt. 1822 in Barnstaple, Devon, England                     
..      +Elizabeth Burdguss      b: Abt. 1823 in Chittlehampton, Devon, England                     
   2     John Lock      b: Abt. 1852 in Barnstaple, Devon England                     
   2     Amelia Lock      b: Abt. 1854 in Pilton, Devon, England                     
   2     Samuel Jr. Lock      b: Abt. 1857 in Pilton, Devon, England                     
...      +Elizabeth Harriet Lockyer      b: Abt. 1858 in Cogges, Oxfordshire, England

   2     William Lock      b: Abt. 1860 in Pilton, Devon, England                     

If your Lock / Locke tree traces back to Devonshire, England 1600's - 1700's era, you might consider joining the Group 9 participants in being Big Y DNA tested. This is getting pretty exciting, the Locke DNA project now has multiple Lock / Locke branches who's family trees are not fully connected just yet, but with each Big Y test being completed, proving to be a genetic match, it is just a matter of time before the common male ancestor(s) are identified.

As far as genetic matches goes, it does not get any better of a genetic match then a Big Y 700 match. Anyone who wants to see the other part of this Lock tree, can do a search on William Buckingham Lock and find his family tree online. William Buckingham Lock's tree is related to the latest Big Y participants family tree that I just shared in this post.

Update for Group 9

A Mr. Locke who traces his paternal tree back to Walter Lock b. 1625 Parracombe, Devon, England has just completed his 37 marker Y DNA test has just proven to be a genetic match to John Lock, b. abt 1696 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ( USA ) and a direct male descendant of William Lock, b. 1663, South Molton, Devon, England.

This is getting pretty exciting, 3 Lock / Locke branches with direct ties to Devon, England have been Y DNA tested and proven to carry the same Y chromosome.

A professional Genealogist has been hired to help try to figure out who the common male Lock ancestor is.
I was told it was the Genealogist who made this potential connection to the Lock's of Parracombe, and it turned out to be a good connection because a direct male descendant proved to be a Y DNA match to Group 9 in the Locke DNA project.

The latest Y DNA participant will likely be upgraded to the Big Y 700 test in the near future.

That is the whole point to the Locke DNA project, to use the paper records research in combination with the genetic evidence, to help find family tree connections that were previously not known about using only the paper records as our soul evidence proving kinship.

How many other Lock / Locke family trees of Devon who maybe related to Group 9, is not known yet, but if you are a male Lock / Locke with old ties to Devon, you might want to consider being Y DNA tested some day to see if you are a Y DNA match with Group 9. :)

Good news to report, a Mr. Locke has just joined the Locke DNA project with a Big Y DNA test having been completed, he was placed in Y Haplogroup R-FTB19907.
He has proven to be a 25 marker match to another Locke participant whom was already in the project, and because of this latest Y DNA match, Group 22 has tentatively just been created.

The latest Lock Big Y participant stated he traces his paternal lineage back to William Locke b. 1721.

I can not be for certain, but I believe William Locke was Christened in Oddington, Gloucestershire.

William Locke
Christening: June 11, 1721
Oddington, Gloucestershire, England
Parents: George Locke & Mary

This newly identified Lock / Locke lineage through Y DNA evidence appears to also have ties to Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England if I am not mistaken. 

It appears both Lock / Locke Y DNA participants of Group 22, are both from the UK.
I do not know yet whom the common male ancestor is yet of the original participant, I am waiting to hear back from both participants.

It isn't often when a newly identified Lock / Locke lineage is discovered to be able to create a new Family Group, so this is a pretty big deal and it involves two Lock / Locke men from the UK. :)

Group 4 in the Locke DNA project are the direct male descendants of Capt. John Locke, d. 1696 of Rye, New Hampshire USA whom are one of the USA's oldest Locke lineages.

Group 4 makes claim to being related to the famous John Locke the Philosopher and they have what many believe to be one of the oldest Locke family tree genealogy books ever published, which is often referred to as the book of Locke's by John Goodwin Locke.

Unfortunately this lineage does not have any Y DNA matches to Lock / Locke men in the UK yet, but this is an important lineage because of their ties to important Locke's in UK history.

Group 9 in the Locke DNA project also got a major clue through the use of both Y DNA and Big Y DNA testing.

The direct male descendants of John Lock, b. abt 1696 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ( USA ) have proven to be a Y DNA and Big Y DNA match to a direct male descendant of William Lock, b. 1663, South Molton, Devon, England.

This is exactly the kind of DNA match this lineage was looking for, and while they still do not have the paper records evidence to prove how John Lock is related to William Lock, they now have a starting point in the genealogical records research because they proved it to themselves that their family trees are a biological DNA match to one another.

The whole point of being Y DNA tested, is to help give those whom are involved in the paper trail research whole new clues to follow in the genealogical records, by proving they are a Y DNA match to one another to give them all the confidence that they are on the right path paper trail wise.

With more genealogical paper trail research having been done on the Lock's of South Molton and maybe having a few more male descendants from the South Molton lineage being Y DNA tested, I have high hopes that one day the common male ancestor can be identified so their family trees can be connected in to a much larger family tree some day.
