Big Y DNA: Wilcockson vs. Hutchinson vs. Giddey

Guest Post by Skip Duett ©2020 The preceding post here provides background on the Wilcockson Billie and Boonie lines.  This post discusses how those Wilcockson lines relate to a group of Hutchinson and Giddey surnamed Big Y testers. For this discussion, please consider the following figure.     We have two Big Y testers on the Boonie side and they share SNP A7603.  The Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) of those two testers was John Wilcockson (b. 1657-d. 1719) commonly called “Cossall John.” Therefore, Cossall John had SNP A7603.  We cannot … Read More

Wilcox/Wilcockson Big Y Testing: Billies and Boonies

Guest Post by Skip Duett ©2020 Y-DNA testing looks at the DNA signature of the direct male line, DNA passed from father to son to son. Y-DNA has an important evidentiary role in researching early Wilcox/Wilcockson lines. Most of the difficulties in tracing these lines back are well beyond the effective range of autosomal DNA testing. Y-DNA does not suffer from generational loss like autosomal DNA does. Further, the relatively slow rate of change of the signature allows us to discover connections between various lines hundreds of years in the … Read More

Puritan William Wilcockson book changed to website posts

My vision of a coffee table book about Puritan William Wilcockson and his family in England and New England which I started in 2001 is no longer feasible. It is with great sadness that I find that I need to change course on what was to be my legacy for the descendants of the William and Margaret Wilcockson family. Instead I will post my research on my website when I have time to devote to it. For the foreseeable future, I have to focus my genealogy time on earning a … Read More

The Grand Wilcockson Tour to Derbyshire Day 10: After Thoughts, Puritan William Wilcockson, Margaret Harvie, DNA

Copyright © Jane E. Wilcox, Forget-Me-Not Ancestry, Albany, NY www.4getmenotancestry.com. In September 2017 I led a tour to Derbyshire, England, in search of my Puritan ancestors William Wilcockson and his wife Margaret.

With them on the Planter were Margaret’s first cousins Richard Harvie and his sister Mary Harvie with her husband William Beardsley and their three … Read More
