Results So Far

• Philip John Quarterman, born Oxfordshire, resides Portland, Oregon, is an exactly 12 marker yDNA match for John S. Quarterman (jsq) and Clay Quarterman of the Liberty County group, and an exact 12 marker match for Samuel Joseph Quarterman of the Camden County group. Chances of he and jsq having a common ancestor in 8 generations is 56%, in 12 generations is 71%, in 16 is 81%, in 20 is 89%, in 24 is 92%. This makes it quite likely that the Midway Quartermans derive from Oxfordshire.

  New! Phil's 25 marker results have come in, and he's only 2 or 3 distance from Clay and jsq; see the comparison in the Liberty County page.

• Another person's test shows essentially no patrilineal relationship to any other group participant so far. He is a genetic distance of 10 from the Midway Quarterman group members, which means essentially zero probability of being related in less than 20 generations, and only 0.02% (two hundredths of a percent) probability of being related at 20 generations.

  This does not necessarily mean that this person is not related to the Midway Quartermans: yDNA testing only checks patrilineal relationships. We know from documentation that there are at least two cases of a Quarterman woman in England having a son who took the Quarterman name. This person could be descended from one of those women, and would thus probably be a relative, just not a patrilineal relative.

With more submissions from other Quarterman groups we may find patrilineal relations to this Quarterman, or other English Quartermans who are related to Quartermans in the U.S. or elsewhere. Join now!
