Our MD group DNA matches up with a Sue Doyle's brother (if memory doesn't fail me) who descends from a Dorchester Lovelace of the early 1700s. This tells us that we probably descend from a common Dorset ancestor. However, it's pretty clear that we don't descend from any of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. The Martyrs were deported to Australia in the mid-1800s (again, if memory doesn't fail me). It may be that the Martyrs share a common ancestor with us (just speculation unsupported by any data on hand right now here in AZ), but I think we can definitely say that none of the Lovelxxx families in the US are direct descendants of the Martyrs. > > > > Peace, > > Part of the Tree, > > Greg > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Carolyn McCoy" <c2mccoy@gmail.com> > To: lovelace@rootsweb.comt > Sent: Thursday, December 9, 2010 10:40:28 AM > Subject: Re: [LL] DNA testing > > I thought that by way of DNA the MD group traces back to Dorchester, > England, and possibly the martyrs. > > Carolyn > > > On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 8:08 AM, <Brondak@aol.com> wrote: > >> >> In a message dated 12/7/10 12:16:52 AM, wsloveless@yahoo.com writes: >> >> >>> My tests traced us back to the Dorchester England group,I like to >>> think,possibly the Loveless Martyrs of England. >>> >> >> Well, this blows my theory about him being part of the MD group.
