Two members of the CARRICO project are Haplogroup R1b.  They are brothers, so it is not surprising that they match each other.  What they do not match is other CARRICO descendants of their paper ancestor, Charles CARRICO of Sullivan Co., IN, indicating they have an NPE in their patrilineal line.

Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in western Europe reaching a frequency of 70-80% in the British Isles (please see distribution map).  Given the high frequency of R1b, especially in the British Isles, it is possible to have a high level match in R1b merely by coincidence, especially for those with a Scots/English/Irish heritage.  I therefore recommend that anyone who is R1b be SNP tested as deeply as possible, including new SNP tests as they become available, as a way to uncover STR matches that are mere coincidence.

The two CARRICOs above are brothers and have a paper descent from Charles CARRICO (1770s-1830s), of MD, KY, and Sullivan Co., IN, through his son, Reason CARRICO (1790s-1878), also of KY and Sullivan Co., IN.  While a paper connection from Charles to Peter CARRICO I, the 1674 immigrant to Maryland, has yet to be documented, such a connection has always been assumed.  This connection has been proven through testing descendants of Charles's sons, Basil and Josiah, both of whom are a match for the other descendants of Peter CARRICO I.  Unfortunately, the descendants of Reason are not a match with them.  Peter's descendants are Haplogroup J-2a4b, and these two brothers are Haplogroup R-1b1b-2a1b.  People in different haplogroups cannot have shared a common ancestor for thousands of years.  The inescapable conclusion is that the two CARRICO brothers have an NPE, a "non-paternal event" (i.e., a hidden adoption or illicit paternity), in their patrilineal line.  By testing cousins, the location of this NPE can be determined.
We are at least fortunate that the two brothers are well off the modal haplotype of R1b, particularly in the first 12 markers.  And because they are, they have only one near match in the FTDNA database:  with LITTLETON #89853.  Interestingly, this LITTLETON does not remotely match any of the other 21 LITTLETONs in the LITTLETON Y-DNA Surname Project.  The LITTLETON's lack of matches in the LITTLETON project may mean that his line is simply a different, less common LITTLETON line, but it could also mean that he has an NPE in his lineage, too, so this LITTLETON also needs to test cousins.  I have created a CARRICO - LITTLETON Node Chart to diagrammatically represent the relationships here and to guide us on which lines are critical to test.
CDYa/b is one of a group of markers with multiple counts.  Like most of the multi-copy markers, we do not know the actual order of the alleles.  By convention, they are simply reported lo-hi, as above.  However, their actual order could be any permutation of these values.  In other words, their order could be:
a b   a b   a b   a b
41 42 42 41 41 42 42 41
40 41 41 40 41 40 40 41
GD = 2 GD = 1
The probability that the same marker would change by a value of one twice in the same direction in a few generations is extremely low.  That is why a difference of two, when most other markers are the same, is assumed to have happened in a single mutation event, thus reducing the tabulated Genetic Difference (GD) between them by one.

This difference might not seem worth mentioning, but our two CARRICOs' results are not that close for supposedly having only six or eight generations between them and the LITTLETON because, in such a case, one would expect the GD at 67 markers to range from 0 to 3.  If we count the difference at CDYa/b as two one-step mutations, they have a GD of 5, but if we count their difference as one two-step mutation, they have a GD of 4, giving them a more reasonable GD in light of their presumed relationship. 

   

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; 10-12, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 25 markers:  21 or less is a non-relative; 22-25, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 37 markers:  31 or less is a non-relative; 32-37, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For 67 markers:  55 or less is a non-relative; 56-67, please see this Chart compiled by FTDNA.
For any test:  0 matching markers, please contact NASA.
