I am with the Woodall DNA Project. We recently received the results in from a descendant of Jehu. His results indicate Haplogroup I1a All of the other Woodall descendants of Wm Woodall b abt 1710 & his son Charles Woodall b. 1732 who have tested match & belong to the R1b group. We are puzzled why this man (paper rail to Jehu) does not match the others. There had been stories passed on through Jehu's family line that Jehu was part Indian (DNA testing would show haplogroup Q3 for males with Indian blood) . Now what does this say about Jehu's line? These results indicate that somewhere in Jehu's line there was an adoption into the Woodall family of a male whose paternal DNA didn't come from William Woodall b abt. 1709. There are 2 possible explanations for this: 1- Jehu Woodall was adopted into the family of Elizabeth Black & Charles Woodall. Jehu could've been a relative (son of Elizabeth's sister or brother for instance, meaning his paternal DNA would be different) or Jehu could've been a neighbor's child who was adopted by Charles & Elizabeth Woodall because his birth parents died from illness, accident, Indian attacks, etc. I think this is the most likely scenario because although we have the record of Charles & Elisabeth's marriage in the Goochland VA Parish in 1765, & records of the births of their other children at the same parish starting in 1768, NO BIRTH RECORD of Jehu Woodall has other been found in Goochland or anywhere else. But, Jehu obviously belongs to this family since land, tax, census, & marriage records always show him living near this clan of Charles Woodall. 2-The other possibility is that somewhere further down along the line between Jehu to the participant who took the DNA test, that there was some sort of an adoption. The only way to determine which of these scenarios is true would be to have other male descendants of Jehu take the DNA test. For instance, if a 3rd cousin of this man took the test, & the DNA matched, it would indicate that the adoption took place with their common ancestor (2nd great grandfather) or someone further back then that. If their DNA didn't match then that would mean their 2nd great grandfather or someone more recent than that was the adoptee. Our best option for solving this puzzle would be to get a descendant of Jehu's other son/grandson to take the test. Then we would know whether the adoption took place in this line or with Jehu himself. This is the paper trail of the descendant of Jehu: William Woodall b. abt 1709>Charles Woodall b. 1732>Jehu Woodall b.1767 VA>John Woodall b. 1811 Lincoln Co, KY >James Leondogist (Leonodus) Woodall b. 1839 Lawrence Co., IN >James Madison Woodall b. 1864 Sullivan Co., IN These are the sons of Jehu according to Ruth Ransford Mason's Woodall book: Jehu Woodall b. ca. 1796, James Woodall b. 1804, John Woodall b. 1811, Perry Woodall b. 1815, Joel Woodall b. 1817, & George Washington Woodall b. 1821. If you descend from any of these men we need you to take a DNA test. Please email me. Thanks, Jeff Woodall
