My Paternal Grandmother's Descent From The Lamberts of Mecklenburg County, Virginia

From looking at AncestryDNA matches, I discovered another slave-owning Colonial European American ancestral family on my African American paternal grandmother Mary Alice Gaines side.  It's a Lambert family in Mecklenburg County, Virginia.  

This is not an ancestral family of my paternal European American 3rd Great Grandfather James P. Cross, and so it has to be an ancestral family of one of my African American 3rd Great Grandparents on Grandma Mary's side. All of them were slaves in the Acadiana parishes in Southern Louisiana.

Reuben Gaines (born in Virginia) and his wife Celecie Horton (born in Georgia) who were parents of my 2nd Great Grandfather Ulysses Gaines who was Great Grandpa Lawrence Gaines' father - slaves in Assumption Parish, Louisiana

Edward Riley (born in South Carolina) and his wife Dolly Jackson (born in Kentucky)who were parents of my 2nd Great Grandmother Jeannette Riley who was Great Grandpa Lawrence's mother - slaves in Assumption Parish, Louisiana

Laura Woods (born in Virginia) who was the mother of my 2nd Great Grandfather James Cross who was Great Grandma Priscilla Cross' father - slaves in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana

The unknown parents of my 2nd Great Grandmother Mary Johnson who was Great Grandma Priscilla Cross' mother. - slaves in St Mary Parish, Louisiana 

At least one of them descended from the Thigpen family (originally from Ireland), Kinsey family (originally from Switzerland), Jeter family (originally from England), Lassiter family (originally from England). My Indigenous American segments on paternal chromosomes on 6 and 9 seem to come from the Lassiter family. Robert Lassiter was married to Prudence of the Nottoway tribe.  At least one of my  African American 3rd great grandparents on Grandma Mary's side descended from the Turner family whose paternal line was Weathersbee (immigrated from England). English American Thomas Weathersbee Sr was the owner and father of John Turner who was half African on his unknown mother's side. Patience bought her husband John for 60 pounds from Thomas Weathersbee Sr in 1769 in Halifax County, North Carolina and freed him. The couple relocated to Marion County, South Carolina. John was half African on his mother's side, and Patience Smith was the daughter of an unknown half African man  and Rachel who was Irish. They're the ancestors of many European Americans, and some of them are my DNA relative matches at AncestryDNA and 23andme.  My predominantly Southeast African mixed with Filipino/Austronesian on paternal Chromosome 9 is Malagasy ancestry from Madagascar (an island in Southeast Africa). It comes from either John or Patience. Because John and Patience are the ancestors of many European Americans, my Malagasy segment is subjected to Timber algorithm that is supposed to address pileups and remove false matches.  Three of John and Patience's children were married to Martins. I descend from John and Patience's son Reuben Turner and his wife Dorothy Martin.


I already have a known Lambert ancestor. It's my 10th Great Grandmother Radegonde Lambert who was married to my 10th Great Grandfather Jean Blanchard and one of the  Acadian founding foremothers on the side of my Assumption Parish born 3/4 Acadian 4th Great Grandmother Anastasia Bourgeois who was married to my Gates County, North Carolina born English American 4th Great Grandfather Benjamin Cross who formed and owned the Orange Grove Plantation in Lafourche Parish. She was rumored to be of maternal MicMac ancestry, but mitochondrial DNA testing of female line descendants revealed that her mitochondrial DNA haplogroup was X2b4 which is European and not Amerindian.

Learning About My Paternal 2nd Great Grandmother Mary's Family And Their Connection To the Kinseys

I learned that the Kinseys were ancestors of my paternal grandmother Mary Alice Gaines' maternal grandmother Mary.  I found out that some of AncestryDNA that Aunt Carrie and I have are descendants of 2nd Great Grandma Mary's niece Susan Thomas. They have Kinsey descendant matches that they share with Aunt Carrie and me.  I found out that Grandma Mary Alice Gaines descended from a Swiss Kinsey family that immigrated to New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina in 1710. Their descendants.went to Jones County, North Carolina and Colleton and Barnwell Counties in South Carolina. Aunt Carrie has over 100 AncestryDNA matches that are descendants of this Swiss Kinsey family.  They're descendants of John Ripley Kinsey (b. 1698) and Mary Isler. She, two European American Kinsey descendants, and a man in Switzerland match each other in the same location on Chromosome 6. https://diversegenes.blogspot.com/2023/07/discovery-of-swiss-immigrant-ancestors.html I found out that Grandma Mary...

He was recorded as having the last name Daigle in 1910 Census with my 2nd Great Grandmother Maria. He was recorded as Daggs in 1920 Census.
