I just want to toss in a comment abut a new X-match of mine. It is from Norway. A female there (email address) has an X-match (& FF match) to me. But her apparent brother, who also has an FF match to me, does not have an X-match to me. Now, the only Norwegian side of my makeup is on my father's side. How do I inherit an X-match from my father's side? The only other way I could conceivably get it is via my maternal side via a branch that goes back to the Delaware Swedes in colonial times.

Wheeldon versus Wheelan. I always assumed there was just misspelling in the records. Now I'm beginning to think that I don't have any Wheeldons in my tree. What does that mean? It means that whole big southern branch down there in the Carolinas and Kentucky is wrong; that is, I'm not connected to them. Nancy Wheelan married Henry Puckett in Indiana; not Nancy Wheeldon. Hmm... This is my direct maternal line, by the way.

By my imperial decree, I changed my colonial brick wall direct maternal ancestress from Charity unknown to Cynthia Anna Lee. What kind of name is that? Lee is obviously Anglo-Saxon. But what is Cynthia Anna? Irish? Scotch? Huguenot French? She was born about 1816, possibly in Kentucky. Maybe I'm related to Robert E. Lee on her dad's side. Ha ha!

A newer hypothesis is strictly yankee. Although there is a definite a Lee connection (paternal), the wife's line seems to/ could be from a New York, and possibly New Jersey origin in colonial times. The Lee connection (marriage) would've happened in Ohio (or Parkersburg, WV) around the time of the Whiskey Rebellion.Last edited by PDHOTLEN; 20 August 2015, 07:47 PM.

Is the famous Frenchman Lafayette in my tree? I keep searching for my direct maternal line, and usually have to erase any tentative line I come up with. My latest is a shaky vague guess. The problem is I am brick walled with Cynthia Anna Lee, born 1816 in Indiana. That is very early for Indiana, since the Indians were barely evicted by then. Maybe she was born in Ohio or elsewhere, This latest line I'm guessing at has to delete the Cynthia part, just leaving Anna Lee. Her dad would've been David Lee Jr. in this case. His dad was David Lee Sr., who married a French girl named Marie d'Ayen Noailles. I hope I got the spelling right, because if you are interested, you will Google her name. She claimed to be a cousin of Lafayette. But she would not have been my direct maternal ancestress. It's just interesting (before I erase that line and begin yet again).Last edited by PDHOTLEN; 24 August 2015, 09:28 PM.

Alternated hypothesis
One origin I have been ignoring for my direct maternal line is the Erie Canal. The problem with census records is that they sometimes lie, in this case giving Indiana in 1816 as fact. Think of the film "How the West was Won", with all star cast. By 1830 New Englanders were moving west via the Erie Canal, and down the Allegheny River to the Ohio River, and Indiana, etc. My Cynthia A. Lee married in 1834, time enough to have arrived in Indiana by that route. I've been trying to find her ancestry via the huge Virginia Lee clan, but to no avail. Also, a New England origin would fit my HVR1+HVR2 that goes back to 1600s Massachusetts. Hmm...

Some of the descendants obviously moved into Kentucky after Daniel Boone (my 1st cousin 6 times removed) opened up the Wilderness Road following the Revolutionary War.

As for my variable Lee speculation, it depends on whatever or whoever I happened to bump into in cyber space. I now tend to think my brick wall direct maternal ancestress (Cynthia A. Lee) stems from the northeast, and not via Virginia. But I'm open to valid information to the contrary.
