This is a blog post about my Genealogical and Genetic Ancestry. It includes recent ancestral populations in the Americas with ancestral family last names, DNA connections, 23andme Ancestry Composition/Split Parental Inheritance, and Haplogroups.
My Genealogical Recent Ancestral Populations
African Americans - paternal side

Louisiana Creoles - paternal side
My father was born in Louisiana. Both of my paternal grandparents were born in Louisiana. All of my paternal great grandparents were born in Louisiana. All of my paternal 2nd great grandparents were born in Louisiana. All of my paternal 3rd great grandparents were enslaved in Louisiana with the exception of my paternal grandmother's maternal grandfather's Anglo-Cajun father who was son of English American plantation owner Benjamin Cross who was born in Gates County, North Carolina and a 3/4 Acadian Anastasia Bourgeois who was born in Assumption Parish, Louisiana.

DNA connections to ancestral families
Turner
European American descendants of John Turner (b. 1730s/1740s) and Patience Smith (b. 1740s) - DNA relative matches on my father's side through one of his enslaved African American 2nd great grandparents on my predominantly Sub Saharan African-little Filipino/Austronesian segment on paternal Chromosome 9
John was born the enslaved son of English American plantation owner Thomas Weathersbee and an enslaved African American woman. Patience was the free born daughter of a man of half African(from father)/half European (from mother) and Rachel Smith who was a European American woman that had Irish ancestry. Patience purchased John's freedom from his father for 60 pounds in Halifax County, North Carolina in 1769 after being married with three sons. They relocated to Marion County, South Carolina where four daughters were born. They owned land and had a farm. All three of their sons had European American wives and most of their daughters had European American husbands. Three of their grandsons (Martin Turner, James Turner, and John Turner) joined the army during War of 1812 and spent some time in Louisiana.
Kinsey
European American descendants of John Ripley Kinsey (b. 1698 in Switzerland) and Mary Catherine Isler (b.1718 in Craven County, North Carolina) - DNA relative matches on my paternal grandmother's enslaved maternal grandmother's side through one of her enslaved African American parents on my European segments on paternal Chromosomes 6 and 16
John Ripley Kinsey was one of the few of the Kinsey family that survived the Massacre of 1710 by The Tuscarora Indigenous Americans. He had descendants that were listed as mulatto and white in US Censuses before the Civil War. One of them was Lewis Kinsey who was born in 1795. His father was Jesse W. Kinsey (b. 1762) who was the son of Joseph Antoine Kinsey (b.1740) who was the son of John Ripley Kinsey (b. 1693). He lived in Colleton County, South Carolina and Barnwell County, South Carolina. He and his children were recorded as white and mulatto in US Censuses. He owned slaves. Some of Lewis and Sally's European American descendants match me on my Sub Saharan African segment on paternal Chromosome 2.
Thigpen
European American descendants of James Thigpen II (b. 1664 in North Carolina) and Elizabeth Manwaring (b. 1671 in Virginia) - DNA relative matches on my paternal grandmother's side through one of her enslaved African American great grandparents
James' parents James and Elyn (Travis) Thigpen immigrated from Ireland. Elizabeth's father Stephen Manwaring was an English immigrant, an officer in the Bacon's Rebellion, pardoned in 1677, and had his property confiscated.
Hampton
European American descendants of John Hampton (b.1683 in Gloucester County, Virginia) and Margaret Wade (b.1694 in Kent County, Virginia) - DNA relative matches on my father's side through one of his enslaved African American 2nd great grandparents on my European segment on paternal Chromosome 10
They're the paternal grandparents of Wade Hampton I who was an American Revolutionary patriot officer. He served as the top miltary officer in the Territory of Orleans. He purchased The Houmas, a sugar plantation in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. His son Wade Hampton II served under Andrew Jackson in New Orleans.
Darnall
European American descendants of Henry Darnall (b. 1779 in Virginia) and Nancy Henson (b.1783 in Rutherford, North Carolina) - DNA relative matches on my paternal grandmother's side through one of her enslaved African American great grandparents
Victoriano/Victorian
African American descendants of Louis Victoriano Ramos (b. 1750 in Mexico) and Marie Thereze deSoto (b. 1761 in Nachtitoches, Louisiana) - DNA relative matches on my father's side through one of his enslaved African American 2nd great grandparents
There is a belief that a woman named Marie was a daughter of Marie Thérèse “Coincoin” (born enslaved to the St. Denis family, of African parentage) and an enslaved Native American man. This belief remains unproven and unsupported by any surviving records. It persists mainly in oral speculation and in attempts to explain gaps in the early Natchitoches enslaved population.
Devereaux-Whitaker
African American descendants of Devereux-Whitaker family that lived in Rich Square, North Carolina after being freed from slavery - DNA relative matches on my father's side through one of his enslaved African American 2nd great grandparents
Thomas Pollock Devereaux sold 107 slaves to John H. Whitaker in Halifax County, North Carolina in 1857.
Adkins/Atkinson and Mullins
European American descendants of William Atkinson Sr (b.1695 in Henrico County, Virginia) and Elizabeth Parker (b. 1695 in Charles City County, Virginia) - DNA relative matches on my maternal grandmother's father's side.
European American descendants of William M. Mullins (b. 1721) and Elizabeth Scott (b. 1729) - DNA relative matches on my maternal grandmother's father's side
My mother has many DNA relative matches that descend from Booker Mullins (b. 1767 in Franklin County, Virginia and Sarah Jane Stanley (b. 1762 in Virginia). Booker was son of Sherwood Adkins Jr (b. 1742 in Virginia) and Mary Mullins. Sherwood was a grandson of William Atkinson and Elizabeth Parker. Mary was a daughter of William M. Mullins and Elizabeth Scott.
23andme Ancestry Composition/Parental Split Inheritance based on DNA phasing between my genome and my mother's genome
49.7% Sub Saharan African (43.4% paternal, 6.3% maternal)
47.5% European (4.3% paternal, 43.2% maternal)
1.7% Indigenous American (0.7% paternal, 1.0% maternal)
0.6% Northern West Asian (0.0% paternal, 0.6% maternal)
0.3% Chinese/Southeast Asian (0.3% paternal, 0.0% maternal)
0.2% Unassigned (0.0% paternal, 0.2% maternal)
Y DNA Haplogroup
E-BY101982 (earliest known ancestor is my enslaved African American 4th Great Grandfather John W. Daggs who was born in Virginia)
The E-BY101982 paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor E-BY108741 and the rest of humankind around 850 CE.
The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1050 CE.
6 male testers have the markers for E-BY101982 at FamilyTreeDNA.
J1c14 (earliest known ancestor is my Ashkenazi Jewish 3rd Great Grandmother Sarah Hirshberg who was born in present day Latvia)
The J1c14 maternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor J1c14^ and the rest of humankind around 150 BCE.
The woman who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 50 BCE.
