Source:DNA Matches
The following data comes from YDNA testing of Ronald J Cox. For any data entered into this page, living individuals should not be referred to unless they have given permission to appear on this wiki. (This should be the case if they already have a page.)
Wallen/Walden
The closest and most promising match of all comes from a set of lines that don't even have the same surname. All of these matches suggest a single common Cox ancestor. Possible scenarios include infidelity, premarital sex, or early marriage followed by divorce and remarriage. This connection appears to be at or just a little older than each line's oldest identified ancestor.
| Line | Dist. Marker 37 | Dist. Marker 25 | Dist. Marker 12 | Most Distant Ancestor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | 1 | 0 | George Washington Walden/Wallen(Campbell Co TN?) |
| B | 2 | 2 | 0 | Evan Walden, b. 1776 and d. 1852 |
| C | 2 | 2 | No datum | Evan Walden b.1776 TN |
| D | No datum | No datum | 0 | Evan Walden b.1776 TN |
A family tree is available for line B which shows (most-distant to least-distant):
| Walden Family Line | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
This chart makes clear that line A is common with the other lines, even though it shows a different most-distant-ancestor.
Since it is not certain how the other lines connect or diverge, it would not seem possible to mix results to get refined statistics on where a common ancestor would be expected to be. Line B will be used for most statistical analysis.
