Earlier I gave the results of the Pamunkey DNA results. So far it looks like the Pamunkey Davenports may come from a different stock than the other Davenports that have been tested so far. Now more food for thought. There has been some speculation that there may be some Native American ancestry through the Davis Davenport or Pamunkey line. The DNA results show that the Pamunkey line (and the other Davenports) belong to the R1b Haplogroup. This is just another way of categorizing patterns of DNA. The R1b Haplogroup is the most common Haplogroup in European populations. This makes it less likely that there is Native American ancestry in the male side of this family. Also the DNA results of Native Americans reported in studies so far show no similarity to the Pamunkey results. Bill Davenport [email protected] Davenport Surname DNA Project Administrator
