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.

Distribution of Y-DNA Haplogroup I
Distribution Map of Haplogroup I, released to the public domain by Hxseek at Wikipedia.
Image released to the public domain by Hxseek at Wikipedia.
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.

#122567 and #220582 are matching at a very high level (110/111) confirming they have a near common ancestor on their patrilineal lines.  (The latter is surnamed WINTER because his father was given his stepfather's surname, but genetically, he's a THOMPSON.)
With only two individuals tested, we can't be certain which value is modal (ancestral) for the family at DYS454b (magenta table cell).  For the present, I'm going to assume 14 is the ancestral value because it is the modal value for Haplogroup I1, which means the mutation occurred in the patrilineal line of #122567 somewhere downstream of John Alexander Campbell.  The testing of a brother and a first cousin would tell us where.

We are now seeking a third patrilineal descendant of Thomas THOMPSON for DNA testing.  If you are such a descendant or know of one, please contact me.  Depending on how you connect to Thomas, the project may be willing to subsidize your testing, in whole or in part.  We especially seek someone who does not descend through Thomas's son, J.A.C. THOMPSON. 

FamilyFinder test results have returned for both individuals, and they are matching at levels expected for their known relationship.  Likewise, both are a FF match with me at similar levels.
#122567 has been deep SNP tested with these results:
P30+ M253+ M21- M227- P259- L22- P109- L211-
The positive results for P30 and M253 prove he is I1.  The negative results for M21, M227, P259, L22, P109, and L211 rule out subclades I1a thru I1e. 

Other SNPs tested to aid in building the Y-haplotree:
V218+ Z58+ Z59+ Z60+ Z140+ L338+ L592- Z63- Z131- Z138- Z139- L800- L801-
FTDNA has not yet placed these SNPs on their Y-DNA haplotree, but ISOGG is classifying L338+ as I1f1.

#220582 has been deep SNP tested with these results:
M253+ M21- M227- P259- L22- P109- L211-
Results do not contradict those of #122567.
The Haplogroup I1 project has placed them in the AS1 (AngloSaxon-1) cluster.
        We don't know where in the line of #122567 the mutation from 14 to 15 occurred (magenta table cells), but it had to have been downstream of J.A.C.
Jack Berkeley's stepfather was a WINTER.

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!
For 12 markers: 9 or less is a non-relative; for 10-12 markers, please see this table compiled by FTDNA.
For 25 markers: 21 or less is a non-relative; for 22-25 markers,
For 37 markers: 31 or less is a non-relative; for 32-37 markers,
For 67 markers: 59 or less is a non-relative; for 60-67 markers,
For 111 markers: 100 or less is a non-relative; for 101-111 markers,
For any test:  0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
