More exciting DNA news

Found a match for McGuire DNA on the 11th chromosome.

I think.

I am still taking baby steps when it comes to genetic genealogy. I think, "Yay!" I've found a match for this brick wall or that brick wall," only to discover that it's a match by coincidence. Or my fragrant cousin who really understands gg cautions me, "It might be a match."

You still have to prove it using DNA triangulation or historic documents.

Well, here's one I can prove with both.

Three of the relatives in my line match one relative in another line of descent from Timothy McGuire and Mary Finney. Timothy was born about 1740 and died about 1790 in Greene County, GA. Mary Finney was born about 1740, died about 1796 also in Greene County, GA. These two are the most recent common ancestors for all three in my line and the one in other cousin's line.

I ran the DNA data for all four people through Gedmatch.com and got exact (gg-speaking) matches on the 11th chromosome. Four people--there's the triangulation, though it will be stronger when we can get another line to share test results.

My line is descended from Davidson McGuire and Margaret Kelley. Cousin's line is descended from an additional Timothy McGuire (so many Timothys...). All of this can be proved using historic documents from AL, GA, and PA.

SO...THUS...HENCE...my assertion that McGuire DNA has been found!

HURRAY!!!

Unless, of course, it's Finney DNA.

The search continues.

Exciting DNA news

Maybe we've identified some of the DNA that comes from Britta Ann Green or John L. McGuire. Maybe. But we need more cousin samples to be sure.

My fragrant cousin showed me how to create a DNA map. It can be tedious to enter long lists of numbers, but the results can be verrrrrrrrry interesting. In essence, you create a database with chromosome start and end locations and compare matching centiMorgans and SNPS. Numbers that are similar to each other likely indicate that the chromosome is inherited from the MRCA (most recent common ancestor). The more distant cousins (3rd - 8th) who take part, the more you can triangulate and hone in on those pesky buggers.

The tools on GEDmatch.com are the easiest to use. I think it took me five minutes to upload my data from Ancestry and FtDNA.

We've uploaded at least a dozen kits from our branch of the family to GEDmatch. This is great, but what it tells us is that we're all closely related. Luckily a fourth cousin descended from Britta and John recently uploaded a kit.

Hooray!!!! Thank you!!!!

By comparing which chromosomes match with ours, we can start to find Britta and John's DNA. If we can find Britta's DNA, we may be able to find her mother using mitochondrial DNA. So exciting!!!!

I've found spots on two chromosomes that seem like a pretty close match. I will not go out on a limb and say that this is Britta or John's DNA. What I will say is that if we can get a few more distant cousins to upload to GEDmatch, we might be able to triangulate and prove in a statistically meaningful way that this is definitely Britta's/John's DNA.

This method allowed us to break through a brick wall and prove that Polly Pinson Peters was indeed born a Dennis.

When Britta died in 1919, she was survived by 104 living descendants. Any cousins out there got a DNA test—and a sledgehammer????

More about Eliza McGuire, wife of Timothy

It's been a while since I've posted here. Life happens.

Onto the good news:

According to Tochter5, one of my McGuire correspondents, DNA evidence has proved that "E. E." Elizabeth Eliza Louisa, wife of Timothy McGuire, was indeed the daughter of Benjamin Wilson of Shelby County, AL.

It was most generous of Tochter5 to share that information, especially as her original theory about Eliza's identity differed from mine. But having met her, I can vouch that she walks the research walk and is willing to change her trees based on new and proved information.

There's no link to a source because she sent me the word via email.

Luckily there's more information on Benjamin Wilson and his family here from Donna Causey at Alabama Pioneers:

http://alabamapioneers.com/tag/shelby-county/page/3/#sthash.q32Jq5NS.dpbs

Two notes:

1. ALPioneers lacks the information that Eliza was a daughter of Benjamin Wilson and Hannah Harless.

2. Today many people think that Elizabeth and Eliza are the same name. Indeed, they both stem from the name "Elizabeth." But people in the 1800's considered them two different names. This is at least the third family I've encountered with both an "Elizabeth" and an "Eliza" who are different people.

Isn't it nice when your theories prove correct??

Happy hunting!

Some thoughts about John L. McGuire

1. John L. was named for an unknown family McGuire family member. Margaret's Kelley family had no Johns that we know of, while in Davidson's family there are several other Johns (son of Isaac McGuire and son of Timothy and Mary Phinney/Finney McGuire) and at least one other John L. (son of Thomas McGuire and Margaret Hayes; lived in Marion County, AL).

2. What the "L" stands for, nobody knows. One family tree by a researcher I respect has "LeTerpsey" as a possibility, but it's just a suggestion. There's no proof.  And if my middle name were "LeTerpsey," I'd use just the middle initial, too. 

Another possibility—but again, no proof—is that John's middle name was "Len." His daughter Mary Drusilla named her first son "Len Franklin." John's other surviving children, Ellen and Stephen, both had sons named "John," but not with the middle initial "L."

3. A sad fact here:

Several of John's in-laws and children named their offspring "John." For example:

• John H. McLaughlin, son of William H. and Mary Jane McGuire McLaughlin

• John McLaughlin, son of Joseph and Alsy McGuire McLaughlin

• John Walter Hill, son of Ellen McGuire and William Hill

• John T. McGuire, son of Stephen Douglas McGuire and Ada Wilson

Yet, in a family that used the same names over and over, none of this couple's in-laws or children named their female offspring "Britta Ann." Makes you wonder what she was like....

4. The 1850 and 1860 Censuses in which John appears both put his birth year as 1833. Assuming that's true, he does not appear in the 1830 U.S. Census for AL, but there are three males younger than 10 (Timothy, James, and Charles). In the 1840 U.S. Census for AL, there's one male 5 - 10 (John L., 7) and three males 10 - 15 (Timothy, James, and Charles). By 1840 John L. had lots of younger sibs, too. (Sarah, Alsy, Robert, Hiram K., and maybe Emily)

5. John L. was a middle child. According to several websites, middle children play off the attributes of older siblings. See this article from Parents.com:

http://www.parents.com/baby/development/sibling-issues/how-birth-order-shapes-personality/?page=3

Since they must negotiate for attention, middle children may be very diplomatic. On the other hand, feeling that the older children get all the positive attention, they may rebel and seek friends outside the family. John L. seems to have been the latter type, though he may have been tight with his brother Charles. 

I base this conclusion on several facts:

• 1851: Fighting and beaten at age 18 in Shelby County 

• 1852: Joining Mt. Hebron Church at age 19 to make amends

• 1854: Marrying Britta Ann Green, an outsider who seems to have come from nowhere

• 1854: Being excluded from Mt. Hebron in 1854 for swearing. No record of  ever returning

• 1854 - 1860: Giving his children names that do not run in his family, even though most of his siblings did

• 1860: Having $50 on hand for the 1860 Census. It was not unusual for children to get their inheritances early; and this would explain why John L. is not mentioned in W.H. McLaughlin's 1867 notes on distributions from Davidson's estate. 

6. I believe that John L. was tight with his brother Charles. They were only four to five years apart in birth order, and Charles was the brother closest in age to John L. I base this theory on several facts:

• John got married just days after Charles. 

• In Leeds, Her Story a soldier reminisces about the 18th AL and mentions "John and Charlie McGuire" in the same breath.

• John and Charles served together in the 18th AL Infantry. 

7. That's all for now, folks. 

The mysteries of Mary Drucilla

Mary Drucilla McGuire was born October 22, 1858, probably in Leeds, AL. She was the second child and second daughter of John L. McGuire and Britta Ann Green.

We think.

MYSTERY # 1:

Family trees usually list Mary Drucilla as the daughter of Britta and John. Certainly everyone in my line assumes that she was Britta's daughter, and I've never heard otherwise from anybody. But her death certificate records Georgia Smith as her mother. See here:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JDFL-N14

A Smith family did live near the McGuires in the 1860 Census. I've spent years investigating whether or not John L. hanky-pankied with their daughter nicknamed Georgia, but so far have found nada.

So...

Let's for the moment assume that Mary is Britta's daughter.


MYSTERY # 2:

Why was she named Mary Drucilla? 

The "Mary" part is easy. Britta Green's older sister—or possibly (but not likely) mother—was named Mary. But why the name "Drucilla"?

Three theories make sense:

• "Drucilla" is a family name. It has certainly carried down our family line, even to the current generation. 

• Mollie was named for neighbor Drucilla Ragsdale. 

• Britta just liked the name. 

None of Britta's surviving children are named for people in John L.'s family. This is odd, considering how both the McGuires and the Greens used the same names generation after generation. So I'm guessing that Britta decided to name this child after her good friend, Drucilla, the doctor's wife.



MYSTERY # 3

Why did 12-year-old Drucilla live with the Hayden family as a domestic servant in Randolph, Bibb County, in 1870? Both siblings Ellen and Douglas were living with mother Britta and step-dad Mike Flynn in Randolph. If the family needed money, why didn't Ellen live with another family as domestic help, too?  



MYSTERY # 4

Why did Mary Drucilla marry so young? She was born October 22, 1858, and married in January 29, 1874, making her only 15 when she married the widower Simmin. Her sister Ellen married at age 14. Why? Did they want to escape their step-father? Or did they want to escape Britta?

MYSTERY # 5

What in the heck did Mary Drucilla see in Simmin Aaron Edins anyway???? He drank and he shot people. He went to jail for it. I don't see it, but of course, she didn't ask my opinion. I wasn't even born yet. Her early marriage to a tough, tough man eight years her senior suggests that she would have done anything to get out of a bad home situation. 

Just sayin'.... 

Family character: ultimately hopeful

Despite the lack of recent postings here, I have been blogging about the family. Just different branches—at ALRoots2.blogspot.com about the Eddinses and ALRoots3.blogspot.com about the Greens and McKinneys.


The more I learn about this family, the more it hits me how scrappy and even dysfunctional parts of the family have been. Mental illness. Addiction. Assault and battery. Even a murder or two. Recent generations have been scarred by this family heritage.


The data makes me wonder about family patterns and inherited tendencies. It also makes me proud of our tenacity and ability to overcome odds against us.


For example, there's a clear pattern of dysfunction in Davidson McGuire's family. Davidson was kicked out of Mt. Hebron Church for drinking too much. Let's face it, a lot of people drank alcohol to excess in those days; still do. But Davidson's abuse was so rampant that the church felt compelled to call him on it. If you read 

American Congregations, Volume 1: Portraits of Twelve Religious Communities by James P. Wind and James W. Lewis

you'll see that that Mt. Hebron congregation was very forgiving and wanted only for its members to shape up and return. Davidson was undoubtedly warned and ultimately shunned. Eventually—and probably through Margaret's influence—Davidson was reunited with the church. But he was away a long, long time. 


Davidson's son John L. was assaulted—for what???—and hauled into court at age 18. At 19 he joined the Mt. Hebron Church. Aged about 20 he married Britta Ann Green. Less than a year later he was cited by the church for swearing and ultimately excluded a year after he married. He never returned. 


John L. and Britta married in January 1854. Ellen Nora, their first known child, was born in 1858. One wonders why, in a family where children pop out regularly, it took four years for the first surviving child to be born....


John L.'s daughter Mary Drucilla McGuire married Simmin Aaron Edins/Eddins, a man known for drunkenness. He got so drunk his buddies would clap him on his horse and slap the horse's rump to send them home. The horse knew the way. Sad. He served prison time for assault and actually did much worse. Sadder. Simmin died thinking he was a member of his church. Unh-unh. He was so mean that he'd been excluded but nobody had the guts to tell him.  Saddest.


Simmin's drinking disgusted his daughter Lizzie (Rebecca Elizabeth). She never touched a drop. However, she married a silent man who told their first born to be quiet when the child was crying at night from "just" an earache. Turned out to be a fever that killed the child. Thomas, her husband, took the three-year-old's body out into the church field and buried it. Lizzie never knew where that child was buried. Most saddest.


The current generations have seen their share of inherited problems.  Addiction, mental illness, assault and battery, autoimmune disease, jail time. But I have to say, we show courage, too. Lots of courage! Getting help. Fighting back. Letting the past go.  Overcoming the odds. Sticking with it. Learning and progressing. Not every branch, and not every one. But enough.  Enough to keep our lines learning, adapting, and continuing.  

Mt. Hebron Baptist Church members

In 2008 I visited Samford University, Birmingham, AL, with my cousin. I was delighted to find microfilms of the original church records from Mt. Hebron Church, Leeds, AL. This is where Davidson, Margaret, Mahala, Eliza, John L., and other McGuires worshipped. At least, they worshipped there at some point. Davidson was kicked out once for overimbibing, but was readmitted. John L. was kicked out for swearing, and there's no record of him going back. Nice.

Mt. Hebron Church is about six miles south of Leeds, AL, on Route 119. Now that we've pinpointed Davidson's land as just outside the center of town near the current LeHigh Cement company, it's possible to estimate how long it took them to get to church. If one accepts the published rule of thumb that a loaded carriage can go four to six miles an hour, Davidson and Margaret had to drive one hour to church, give or take a few minutes.

A bit later I transcribed the membership list, thinking to post it online to help others who have helped me. Duh. Three years later it's finally getting posted. Better late than never, I guess.

The list is transcribed as written, spelled, and capitalized. The names are grouped together in bunches of about 10 for ease of reading. There were no extra line spaces in the original book.

I transcribed this list from copies of microfilms, which themselves were copies. There are probably mistakes, but at least it's a good start. As always, please use this list as a starting point for your own research and prove it, prove it, prove it!
