My Matrilineal Line's Unique Twig on the mtDNA Haplotree
Diana Gale MATTHIESEN's Matrilineal Ancestry
My Matrilineal Line
The lineage from Mary NEWGATE to Abigail MARBLE is accepted based on the research of others as
these are well-studied New England families:
____Mary NEWGATE (c1615-1692) — b. Tynswood, Southwick, NBL  — immigrant to Massachusetts by 1644
_____Elizabeth TOWNSEND (c1645-1705) — b. Lynn, MA
______Abigail MERRIAM (1684-1768) — b. Concord, MA
_______Abigail MARBLE (1716-1791) — b. Stow, MA

Lineage is solid from here down, meaning I either did the research, myself, or confirmed it, myself:
________Abigail HALE (1752-18411) — b. Stow, MA
_________Abigail CHENEY (1781-1866) — b. Dublin, NH
__________Philancia M. HOLT (1811-1864) — b. Sempronius, NY

Lineage is solid from here down based on paper documentation and first-hand knowledge of Nina WILLIS:
___________Martha Abigail HOPKINS (1834-1924) — b. Somerset, NY
____________Ida BROWN (1856-1943) — b. Hastings, MI

Lineage is solid from here down based on paper documentation, my first-hand knowledge, and the fact
that I and another granddaughter of Nina WILLIS, through a different daughter, are an mtDNA match:
_____________Nina WILLIS (1879-1956) — b. Chillicothe, MO
______________Nina Gale STRAUB (1907-1991) — b. Turlock, CA
_______________Diana Gale MATTHIESEN (1942-    ) — b. San Jose, CA

My FMS (Full mitochondrial DNA Sequence) is online at GenBank:  EU979542.

As of 10 July 2011, in the FTDNA database, I have just three matches in HVR1, one match in HVR1+HVR2 (a known first cousin), and none in my FMS (my cousin's FMS results are pending).  The unique value of 6224T may eventually define a named subclade of T1 (see below) provided enough people tested also possess this mutation; that is, if it ceases to be simply a "private" mutation (i.e., a recent one possessed by only a few individuals), but instead identifies a substantial group of people.
My Matrilineal Line's Position on the mtDNA Haplogroup T Subtree


Subtree extracted from the mtDNA Map at MitoMap and modified by Ann Turner to include my result (as of 29 Jul 2008).
Update (28 Jan 2010):  while FTDNA still has me listed as T1, I see that the T_FGS Project now has me grouped in subclade T1d.
The one other person in the subclade is not a full HVR1+HVR2 match (he has three more mutations than I do in HVR1).
