Ledbetter Family Pedigrees

[Ken Haughton]

We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for the Ledbetter Family Project Patriarch page. (You don’t have to be a test participant to post your family pedigree.)  

There are two ways to make your pedigree available to the project administrator for posting on the Patriarch Page:
1.  Send the pedigree by email directly to carrie@worldfamilies.net in the simplified form described below  (If you send it this way, your pedigree will only be posted on the Patriarch Page, and will not be included in the Pedigree Forum)
Be sure to include  
                 Email address you wish to be posted with the pedigree
                 Kit number of the project participant whose pedigree this is
                 Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse for each generation (direct  male line).

2.  Log-in to post your pedigree on the Pedigree Forum.  By posting your pedigree on the forum, you are making it available for the Project Administrator to post it on the Patriarch Page, along with your contact information, and kit number (or code identity number).

1. You must be logged in to post on this forum.
   How do I register to post a pedigree?
   I've already registered. How do I log in?


2.  Please include your Kit number or Code Identity number if you have been tested for the project.


3. Please read the following instructions, then scroll down to the last posting on this forum and click "reply" in order to post your pedigree.


4. The pedigree for a Surname Project follows your paternal line.  Please post only the information for each generation:

Full Name of Earliest Known Male Ancestor for this Surname
His birthdate
Birthplace
Spouse’s name

(If you are missing any piece of this information, post another bit of identifying information) 

Suggestions for Posting your Pedigree on this forum:

o        Post four pieces of information for each ancestor

o        Begin with the earliest generation

o        Use standard abbreviations:  m=married, b=born, d=died, c=circa, Co=county, VA=Virginia, GA=Georgia, etc

o        Try to keep to one line per generation

o        Include only generations that have this family surname

o        Provide your name and email address as the pedigree provider

o        Provide the kit number and/or project code identity number if pedigree is for a tested participant

o        Use surname with each generation

o        Don’t use all caps

o        Don’t include anyone whose birthdate is after 1910, for privacy concerns.

o        Don’t number the generations 

Scroll down to the last posting on this forum and click "reply". Post your pedigree in the box provided, and click "Post".    

If you do not see a"reply" tab, it means you have lost your log in and will need to log in again in order to post. Go back to the project home page, log in again, and return to the pedigree forum. Login should hold the second time.

I am writing to submit the pedigree of my grandfather, Albert Dorsey MORRIS, for whom I have a 25-marker result DNA test completed. He did match LEDBETTERS as both a 25 marker exact match and a few 25 marker 1 distance matches.

We also have oral history that our earliest known MORRIS ancestor, Laban MORRIS (b. abt 1784, Craven or Beaufort County, NC) was actually a LEDBETTER by birth.

Here is my grandfather's known pedigree:

Laban Morris / b. abt 1784 in NC; d. aft 1860 Beaufort Co., NC; m. 1805 Caroline "Kitty" WILLIAMS of Craven Co.
+ William B. Morris / b. abt 1809 Craven Co., NC; d. aft 1880 Craven Co., NC; m. 29 Jan 1830 to Susan MacIntosh
-+ William Morris / b. 30 Sept 1833 Craven Co., NC; d. 16 Feb 1904 Craven Co.; m. 23 Oct 1852 to Elender Witherington
--+ Dorsey S. Morris / b. 8 Mar 1859 Craven Co., NC; d. 18 Jan 1938 Craven Co.; m. 22 May 1887 Mary Elizabeth Spear
---+ Albert D. Morris, Sr./ b. 4 Aug 1898 Craven Co., NC; d. 22 Sep 1952 Craven Co.; m. 1927 Helen Gold Gaskins
----+ Albert D. Morris, Jr./ b. 9 Mar 1933 Craven Co., NC; still living; m. 14 Dec 1952 Beatrice Pearl Cox

A DNA study of the Ledbetters in the American South has shown that there are two distinct male lines, Haplos  I 1a and R 1b.

 Two members of the Leadbetter family in New England were tested that match each other but not those of either Southern family.  

            (* means there is a paternal discrepancy in this family line)
