Marjorie's post reminds me, some Delaware soldiers, especially naval, signed up in Philadelphia. JD

Do you have a battalion, location or any other info? I will be on the lookout for him. I found my Cord Hazzard in the pension files which led to more info. There was a Private John Bennet (anglicised) in the German Battalion for Maryland/Pennsylvania requirement: german speaking (found on ancestrydotcom) Sources: The Society for the History of Germans in Maryland, Charles Francis Stein; http://www.emmitsburg.net/cgi-bin/pf/ha/pf.cgi The Emmitsburg Area Historical Society. There is a John Bennet born 1730, died 1777 both in Sussex Co. Delaware (ancestrydotcom family tree) perhaps there are memorial lists or graves recorded or he may exist in a pension record Good luck! JD

Joan, It is usually recommended that you start with yourself and prove your lineage back in time rather than from the soldier to yourself. You can prove your lineage back to John Bennet in VA, can't you? Seems like you should be looking in VA, not DE for your John's Revolutionary service.

Marjorie and Elizabeth, I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Just trying to make sure that Joan understood what she could learn from autosomal DNA about her family. Kathleen Carrow Ingram Guild # 6449 myainfolk.blogspot.com/ myainfolkfantofireland.blogspot.com/ trees.ancestry.com/tree/52630507/family

Yes, but I would have to do it (or someone else who would like to try), as I cannot possibly explain their demented website in words anyone might be able to understand. That is, the DAR site is demented - I don't know about the Valley Forge one. I am willing to bet that there are a gazillion Bennetts named John. The DAR site will only show ancestors who have been used by a member, and may not show all the children - again only those who have been used. You can go there, and I believe that anyone (that is, anyone who is not an officer of a chapter) can access the GRS (forget what that means, but it is their database of proved ancestors who qualify). Revolutionary Patriots of Delaware (Peden) only lists one, who is shown as a deserter, although I don't vouch for the accuracy. He might have been a son of Thomas and brother of Purnell, or he could have been a son of Andrew. I think it is GRS. Elizabeth In a message dated 1/13/2014 7:47:05 P.M.

Jane--I agree that documentation is best, if it's there. If it's not, don't fear progress! Most of these DelMarVa ancestors were illiterate yeomen, and left little trace of themselves before the 1700s; once the paper trail runs out, all that is left is physical evidence in the form of DNA, at least for the present (not ruling out time travel, eventually). True, we are just learning to sort it out, but it's already paying big dividends, at least on my Nichol(s) line.... Bob Nichol ----- Original Message ----- From: Jane McDonnell Sent: 01/13/14 07:07 PM To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LDR] Female DNA testing - all DNA testing - things to consider - limitations Dear List, The problem I have whenever there is one of these exchanges on a list, is that there is a lot of misinformation regarding DNA because of 1) outdated information and 2) the intense sales job done by multi-billion dollar business and 3) what amounts to periodic "list adverts" of happy testers. Yes, there are new advances in DNA testing, yes, you can sometimes find out if a distant cousin shares an ancestor, and further your research using their hard work. And that is about it. In fact that is it. It cannot tell you which ancestor specifically was the shared ancestor. It can't magically "find" relatives. The data base is still small, and after a few generations becomes too muddled to be useful. Since you mentioned the DAR "accepting" Y-DNA, this is a quote from their website: " Y-DNA will not be considered as stand-alone proof of linage because, while it can be used as a tool to point to a family, it cannot be used as absolute proof for an individual." Even the "new ! improved" tests don't replace the need for your to document your personal genealogy. If you are comfortable with the small chance you will discover new information, comfortable with spending lots of money (the cheap 12 marker will only tell you whether you share and ancestor 9 - 15 GENERATIONS ago) and just want to have some fun with miscellaneous data, the tests are for you. Do LOTS of research online because most of the Google results are just "ads" for various companies (especially Google's own DNA operation), almost impossible to find objective research or investigative reporting (but note again the DAR disclaimer). You will find a matching test only gives information on a minuscule portion of your genetic inheritance. Companies extrapolate information and give "best statistical guess" generalities depending on the test chosen and other factors. Some of these companies (23andme) are getting into trouble with their medical DNA false positive and false negative test resul! ts and are having that part of their operation shut down by the FDA. S ee any major news outlet report for updates on this, although since that particular DNA company is owned by Google you have to search a little harder. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Joan, Elizabeth and Marjorie are correct, if your brother would agree to test you could get pay for the kit and be responsible for it. I think the Y12 ( only through surname groups) is still only $49. It is a good start. Actually, as group Admin I can send it to you or him. Nothing will happen until it is paid for but he can spit away. Again remember, that is ONLY the Y male line 1 % of the whole genome.Nothing about other relatives. Just depends on what you want to learn. Kathleen Carrow Ingram Guild # 6449 myainfolk.blogspot.com/ myainfolkfantofireland.blogspot.com/ trees.ancestry.com/tree/52630507/family

When you say "We" on LDR you must define it as only VA of Delmarva if that is what you mean--to me MD and some of DE are also Lower Delmarva.

Elizabeth and Marjorie.. Please read what Jim Vincent just said..He has found BOTH sides of his Vincent family using autosomal testing which either men or women can do and they get results for BOTH sides of their families.He did not get that information with the Y or male test. In the last 5 years the face of DNA has changed. It is a new world. Did anyone read my post where I said that I tested ? I am a female ..lol..as is my sister.I get results from both sides of the family, males and females.No men tested. Dad is deceased and I have no brothers. Folks, read through the posts. Thanks Kathleen Carrow Ingram Guild # 6449 myainfolk.blogspot.com/ myainfolkfantofireland.blogspot.com/ trees.ancestry.com/tree/52630507/family

Of course, but we did not lose any courthouses (we only have two anyway), although many churches have burned. The difficulties and frustrations experienced by those from burned counties are horrific.

Dear List, The problem I have whenever there is one of these exchanges on a list, is that there is a lot of misinformation regarding DNA because of 1) outdated information and 2) the intense sales job done by multi-billion dollar business and 3) what amounts to periodic "list adverts" of happy testers. Yes, there are new advances in DNA testing, yes, you can sometimes find out if a distant cousin shares an ancestor, and further your research using their hard work. And that is about it. In fact that is it. It cannot tell you which ancestor specifically was the shared ancestor. It can't magically "find" relatives. The data base is still small, and after a few generations becomes too muddled to be useful. Since you mentioned the DAR "accepting" Y-DNA, this is a quote from their website: " Y-DNA will not be considered as stand-alone proof of linage because, while it can be used as a tool to point to a family, it cannot be used as absolute proof for an individual." Even the "new improved" tests don't replace the need for your to document your personal genealogy. If you are comfortable with the small chance you will discover new information, comfortable with spending lots of money (the cheap 12 marker will only tell you whether you share and ancestor 9 - 15 GENERATIONS ago) and just want to have some fun with miscellaneous data, the tests are for you. Do LOTS of research online because most of the Google results are just "ads" for various companies (especially Google's own DNA operation), almost impossible to find objective research or investigative reporting (but note again the DAR disclaimer). You will find a matching test only gives information on a minuscule portion of your genetic inheritance. Companies extrapolate information and give "best statistical guess" generalities depending on the test chosen and other factors. Some of these companies (23andme) are getting into trouble with their medical DNA false positive and false negative test results and are having that part of their operation shut down by the FDA. See any major news outlet report for updates on this, although since that particular DNA company is owned by Google you have to search a little harder. Good luck with whatever you choose to do. JD

Elizabeth, but there were court house and church fires even without the wars.

No sense in reading it until someone wants to go that route. Mostly everyone here already knows their lines back to Adam and Eve, and we do have the documentation readily available. Lucky us - missed all the wars, at least in terms of losing records. Elizabeth In a message dated 1/13/2014 6:49:43 P.M.

Joan,Jim,George all Like most of you my early Colonial relatives are from all over the Delmarva, specifically the Eastern Shore. Carrow,Sturgis,Stokely,from Accomac in the 1600s and up through Dorchester, Kent County,Queen Ann MD,Tackett,Hinds,Hicks,Fisher,Meloney Manlove,Jones,Sewell. Kent County DE Edenfield,Keys,Wilds, and so forth. They are my paternal lines. Both parents are more than 1/2 recent Irish and my Father's father was born in Norway. My Mom's has Revolutionary War ancestors from Philadelphia also. The Colonial lines to me are the easiest to track with DNA as all of these people, through necessity, married cousins( especially Delaware and Maryland). In that fashion the DNA "recombines" less than other regions or countries.In other words the pieces of DNA don't get small as quickly. Kathleen Carrow Ingram Guild # 6449 myainfolk.blogspot.com/ myainfolkfantofireland.blogspot.com/ trees.ancestry.com/tree/52630507/family

Joan Everything that Jim said is correct and what I would have told you. The same conversation as I had with George Dill also. Y DNA and mtDNA really only give us a bit of the story and today, happily we can look at males and females but both sides of the family and in great depth. My father is the Carrow line. He has no siblings and I have no brothers, just one sister. My father's MOTHER is the Carrow as he was raised by his grandparents who were Carrows. Dad's father is from Norway. Between my sister and myself I have gotten lots and lots of matches on both sides of my family. My female DNA ( mtDNA) did not show those cousins to me although I tested my FGS( full genome). Just you alone can do it.. I would suggest that you either test at 23andme or FTDNA since you want Delmarva matches but AncestryDNA seems fine also. You can then transfer your genome results to FTDNA for a fee or to GEDmatch.com for free. Jim and I are trying to figure out how best to get that information about 3rd party matching out to the public.( So that we all get the best of all worlds.)
