I have an Exum + Read line with my GARRIS. Always do right. This will gratify some people & astonish the rest. -Mark Twain- </HTML>

I am sorry that I did not make that clear. I was tested for a female line where I am a direct line female descendant. My Dad Burton F. Williams was tested for our Williams ydna. While a male can be tested both for ydna and mtdna, a female can only be tested for mtdna. Of course, along with that testing, are many other things that can be learned that might be of interest; i.e., possible Native American blood; haplogroup, which is a number and letter system to trace migratory patterns.

Dorothy: I would love to read the article and would appreciate your forwarding it to me. Although, my Benjamin was bn in KY., I am trying to eliminate as many NC families as possible. I haven't been successful in constructing parents and siblings for him, as yet. Although, that is exactly what I have done for his son who was my GGrandfather. Of course, it took me 17 years. Now, I need to work on living to at least 100 so that I can get back another two generations.

I want to put in my 2 cents worth. I worked in the court system for 35 years, I have also done research for nearly 30 years, and have copies of wills, land grants, etc. I have not seen the term "Exum" before. The term used in our courts was "etux" for a spouse. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Not to confuse the matter further, EXUM can also be someone's first name. I've got several EXUM _________ in my family database, so one needs to pay attention to whatever record they are looking at to be sure it's not meant as a proper name, either first or last name.

Dear Gloria, UXOR is Latin for "Wife" - not Exum. Many early legal documents contain the abbreviation, such as "John Smith et ux." meaning John Smith and wife; i.e., et (Latin for "and') and "ux." (abbreviation for Uxor, meaning wife). I have an Exum family (surname) out of 1600's Isle of Wight Co., VA, and my 6th Great Grandfather was Exum Whitley, b. 1784, Edgecombe Co., NC. His given name was Exum, which was a surname. BTW, I'm also familiar with Exum LEWIS of early Edgecombe Co., NC. If the estate record you found in NC actually contained the name Barbara EXUM, I think you'd better start researching the Exum family for your Barbara.

Hi, Exum can be 2 things: It is Latin for "unknown" (I looked it up on a Latin-English translation site). It is also a surname-- I have an Exum line in Virginia and North Carolina that covers several generations. I have copies of wills, etc., so I know it's the real name used in documents, not just someone's assumption that the Latin exum was someone's name.

A female, inheriting only her mother's mtdna (mitochondrial dna) can only test her direct female line, from daughter to mother to maternal grandmother, etc., back up the FEMALE line. The females coming into a woman's heritage on the fathers' lines do not count, here. Women do not inherit the father's Y-dna because that is what makes men... men! A female passes her mtdna down to both male and female children. However, a male receives his mother's mtdna as well as his father's Y-dna, and can trace back his mother's FEMALE line from son to mother to maternal grandmother, etc. (remember, no input from women who come in on a male's maternal line), and on his father's line, from son to father to paternal grandfather, etc. See www.ftdna.com for more extensive explanations.

Hi, Juliann, Thanks for your answer. That's interesting to know. I appreciate it. I just wrote on another answer regarding this, that I once researched, running in circles, around a possible surname of Antiochem. Never showed up anywhere. I finally concluded it wasn't the surname but someone had written "Antioch cem" in the surname line... Oh well, live and learn.

Ok, thanks. It sounded like it had been an acronym that someone was trying to research as a surname. I once did that. In some old notes, I found "Antiochem" which was in the slot for surname. I researched and researched and never found anything. Finally came to the conclusion she was buried in Antioch Cem. Go figure. Thanks again. My best to you in your research.

Dorothy: I have been petitioning Williams researchers in W.KY to ask their male Williams family members to test. So many of these Williams families came from the Duplin Co., NC area. We live in hope that we will match someone someday who has "proven" Williams before our Benjamin Williams appears in Hopkins Co., KY bn abt 1810. Unfortunately, Benjamin died before the 1850 federal census. However, all of his children consistently report that their Father was bn KY.

Kay Williams: Hieronymus Glantz/Claunch/Clontz, etc was from a German speaking area of Europe. We have never found just where. It could have been Holland or one of the German speaking provinces - I think it was Bavaria but have no proof. No all the male direct Clontz descendants that I know of have passed away so there has been no DNA testing. It has been stated that the name Glantz was Jewish but if so they had fled to the baptismal font well before coming to PA as they were Lutheran and remained in the Lutheran church for several generations. My direct line left PA and went to Lunenburg Co., VA, then the son, Hans Micale/John Michael Glantz moved to Mecklenburg Co., NC around the middle 1700's and many of his descendants are still living in that area as well as many having moved out to other states. It is surprising to find so many Clontz, Clonts, Claunch, Clonch, Cloncs names across this nation but yet it is not well known. The name became known in NC as Clontz sometime after the Rev. War. Both Jeremiah b 1756 and his brother George b 1760 signed their Rev. War pension applications as Clontz I the 1830's. Dorothy C.

Thank you for caring and asking. HIeronymus Glantz/Claunch/Clontz -- wow what an unusual name. From what nationality or language might it have come??? Have you been able to yDNA test a male descendant from that person? Sorry, I cannot find anything like that (CLAUNCH) in my computer database. But our yDNA was R1a, and not many of those are in the WILLIAMS DNA Project. Our close yDNA match now lives in TN. and his WILLIAMSes have been in TN. several generations. He thinks his ancestors came from N.C. And a closer 'cousin' of his lives in AR. Sincerely, Kay (Williams) C. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dorothy White To: williams@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 9:53 AM Subject: Re: [WILLIAMS] Being polite - May I check for your WILLIAMS 'tribe'? I hope your medical procedure goes well and you will be back to normal pronto. Do you have an side name of Claunch/Clonch/Clontz/Cloncs among your Williams ancestors in Mercer, KY? I am descended from HIeronymus Glantz/Claunch/Clontz. Some of his descendants living/lived in Mercer County, KY? I am descended from Joseph Williams first found in Duplin Co. (that part that became Sampson Co) NC in the 1760's and moved to Anson County, NC around 1800. Some of his children and grandchildren have been found in TN and AR. But most stayed in Anson Co., NC with a number of his descendants still living in Monroe, NC and Union Co. that part that was once Anson Co. before 1842. If you have any Claunch, etc. information I would really appreciate comparing research. Dorothy C.
