Lineage and Results of Y-DNA Testing Patrilineal Descendants of Thomas THOMPSON (1797-1872) |
My GGG-grandfather, Thomas
THOMPSON (1797-1872), of Christian [now Todd] Co., KY, Boone Co., MO,
Monroe Co., MO, and Santa Clara Co., CA, has been a genealogical brick
wall for his descendants for decades. The only recent advance has
been to identify his father as
Peter
THOMPSON (c1765-c1840), about whom little is known. It is my
hope that Y-DNA testing will at least tell us in which THOMPSON family
we belong.
After years of searching, in May of 2008 we found a patrilineal descendant of Thomas who consented to being Y-DNA tested, but he had no significant match. Now, in February of 2012, we have results returned for a second descendant of Thomas, and they are a tight match, supporting that they do, indeed, have a near common ancestor on their patrilineal line. Both men are descended from Thomas's son, John Alexander Campbell THOMPSON. We still seek another patrilineal descendant of Thomas for testing, one who descends through some son other than John A.C. Results from the first descendant show he is Haplogroup I1f1 (= I-L338), which is consistent with an old newspaper clipping stating that Peter THOMPSON was a Dane. Haplogroup I1 is sometimes called the "Viking" haplogroup because of its high concentration in southern Scandinavia and northwestern Europe (see map below right). We now have four individuals (these two men, plus myself and another first cousin) who have taken the FamilyFinder test, and results support that we are 3rd or 4th cousins (see this page for discussion). I urge all descendants of Thomas THOMPSON (male or female) to take this test. |

Labels in white are the SNP mutations; percentages are the frequency of
Haplogroup I in the population. Haplogroup I1 is concentrated in
Scandinavia and northwestern Europe; Haplogroup I2 is concentrated in the
Balkans and southeastern Europe. SNPs that appear on the map, but not in
the chart at the left, are Haplogroup I2. Hopefully, this map will
be updated to include L338 and other recently discovered SNPs. |

What constitutes a match?
Matches in other surnames are usually mere coincidence, so please ignore them — I'll let you know when you shouldn't!
