Hi all - The results came in for two more participants in the Davenport DNA Project. Actually two people upgraded their 12 marker test to a 25 marker and those results came in. Both interesting. The first was a descendent of Thomas of Dorchester (Thomas>Charles>Charles). Previously he had a 12 of 12 match with another Thomas (Thomas>Charles> Thomas). Now he has an exact 25 of 25 match. This means that the DNA tested has not changed between these two branches in at least ten generations. Charles (the 1st) was born in 1652 and died in 1720. This will be beneficial to know as we make further comparisons later. The second report reverses some earlier thinking. An individual, (who was fairly certain he was a Davenport), with ties to Greenville, SC had an exact 12/12 match with a Pamunkey Davenport. However, when his 25 marker results arrived there was only a 21/25 match. In other words there is to much of a difference for him to related to that Pamunkey. Now it gets good - he had an exact 25/25 match with an entirely different non-Davenport family. I am looking into that now. This doesn't mean he is not a Davenport. It means he just doesn't match any in our group yet. The results have been posted to >http://www.DavenportDNA.com So far we have 13 participants. The results are still out for 6 of them. We still don't anyone representing the Rev. John Davenport (New Haven) line. Are there any of you out there? Bill Davenport [email protected] Davenport Surname DNA Project Administrator

Rev. John is our ancestor, or so says a family tradition which I'd like to put to the test. Could you send me a test kit, preferably the 25-marker, $169 special? Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 9:52 PM Subject: [DAVENPORT] More Davenport DNA test results > Hi all - > > The results came in for two more participants in the Davenport DNA Project. > Actually two people upgraded their 12 marker test to a 25 marker and those > results came in.
