Eaton and Allen connections and YDNA
Hello. My father is O G Allen. He did a YDNA test, which did not reveal any Allens. Our autosomal DNA is verified back to Gersham Allen b 1734 and whom lived in Orange County, NC, Wilkes County, Pendleton County, SC, KY, and Jackson Co, TN. YDNA has revealed our closest match as Samuel Eaton who match dad at Y111 with a five step difference. Mr Samuel Eatons ancestor is George Eaton b 1686 Pennsylvania. His family are from Wales, with his grandparents John Eaton b 1635, and Joan (unknown) b 1635 immigrating in 1683, and his father John Eaton and Jane his mother, coming over by 1685 with his uncles and his two brothers John Jr and Joseph b 1679. We have developed a SOURCED TIMELINE for this Wales family group and it will be sent to a member of the Eaton Family Association for use by members. We also have some YDNA to Greenes that seem to be from the Warwick Greenes. There is a Hubbard YDNA match in there. Just looking for family that also sees connections to any of those. We have started sourced timelines on the Dedham Eatons, the Thomas Eaton who founded Eatontown, NJ and his family ties seem to be England. I have not done research back to their Countries of origin. There are other Eaton group of course and maybe in time dna will bring them more into clarity. Interested in correspondence with others researching these groups. D3dpatt@gmail.com
