Patriarch Page on World Families

by Hazel Timblin Townsend for the Rankin DNA Project
<hazelt AT bellsouth.net>
Updated. February 29, 2013
Listed
below are all the DNA participating families for which we have information,
beginning with the Earliest Ancestor and at the end the Line Leader. They are
grouped according to how they are listed on the yResults
page. Please note that we have some new groups. We hope that eventually, all
member families will be listed on this page.
Participation in the DNA
Project is not a requirement for listing on this page, but we will indicate
families who have a male representing them in the DNA Project by showing their
R number. Some people have also been mtDNA tested
and/or FamilyFinder Others have joined
the project to find out more about their Rankin family line. There are some who
do not have a family participating in the project but are interested in our
findings. Please let me know of
any additions or corrections.
Some participants do not have the name Rankin but they are a
match. Some of these individuals know where the name change took place but
others do not. Changes can happen in a
number of ways(1) adoptions, (2) name change, (3) taking a child into the
family without formal adoption (which often happened in pioneer days), (4) a
child takes the step-fathers name, or (5) a child is born out of wedlock and
takes the mothers name.
For
additional background for some of the Rankin lines, please check the Discussion
page. More stories of other lines are needed to add to the Discussion page.

Haplogroup
R1b, Lineage I
Most of the people in this Lineage group have a connection to
the western part of Ulster, Ireland, counties Derry and Donegal. They immigrated in the early 1700s into
Pennsylvania. From there they moved west and south down the Wagon Road through
the Valley of Virginia. Many continued moving west to the deep south, mid-west,
Texas and on to the Pacific coast. However, the common ancestor has not been
found. It is probably in Ulster or Scotland. In one family listed below, the
paper trail indicates a family connection. However, the DNA results do not
match. For other individuals the surname
is not Rankin.

R1b, Lineage II
The ancestor in this
group, David Rankin, was an early settler in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
and in Washington and Greene counties in Tennessee. It had been assumed over
the years that David belonged to the same family line as those early settlers
in Lineage I who settled in Chester/Lancaster/Cumberland Counties. However, the
DNA study seems to disprove that. Was he a child taken in by a Rankin family?
Or, was he the emigrant? Were searching for the ancestors of David Rankin who
had a land patent in Bedford County, Virginia.
The much disputed DNA
from the David Rankin descendants of Greene County, TN has revealed itself to
be very interesting. After researching the sequence itself among other
families, I found the [DNA] sequence nearly identical to that of the
descendants of Alexander Campbell of Argyll circa 1668. This doesn't explain a
couple of things. David did marry Ann Campbell after a short marriage to
Margaret Kerr of Augusta County, PA [VA]. My questions relate to the first
three brothers [Adam, Hugh and John] that supposedly settled in Cumberland
County, PA. 1. Are we sure they were brothers and not maternal cousins? 2. Why
did John arrive so much later than Adam and Hugh? I would like to know if any
male descendants of other Adam branches have been tested.
