My Matrilineal Line's Unique Haplogroup T1 Twig on the mtDNA Haplotree

Diana, Goddess of the Hunt — for Ancestors!

My Matrilineal Line's Unique Twig on the mtDNA Haplotree
Diana Gale MATTHIESEN, Matrilineal Descendant of Agnes (FULLER) SHERMAN of Yaxley, Suffolk, England

My Matrilineal Line

Warning: I can only vouch for this lineage from Mary NEWGATE downwards. The first four generations
are from secondary sources, and I simply haven't had time to confirm them. These generations are widely
accepted, and I see no particular reason to doubt them.

Agnes FULLER (1470-1528) — wife of John SHERMAN (1460-1504); of Yaxley, Suffolk, England
_Margery SHERMAN (c1490- )
__Agnes LOCKWOOD (c1535-1586)
___Jane HOO (1568-1620)

As of 7 Feb 2009, in the FTDNA database, I have just three matches in HVR1, one in HVR1+HVR2 (a known first cousin), and none in my FGS.
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.
