Y-DNA Marker Results Kit #138232
This Eaves line is not interested in DNA testing, but they share a common ancestor with the person who manages their results and was interested in their line.
“It appears that the break in the line [non-paternity event] occurred back in 1857, a William Eaves born in GA and could have been taken in and raised by Mr. Lewis Eaves and his daughter Rachael. I have more details, but think it would only cloud up the situation at this point."
The common ancestor between the others and Eaves definitely lived before surnames came into use. The genetic distance at 37 markers is quite distant. Combined with the fact that the non-paternity event apparently occurred in the 1800s, it would probably not be worthwhile to pay for an upgrade to 67 markers.
Eaves Early Origins
Eaves has closer matches at 37 markers to Rogers and Ward, so these surnames probably occurred along his line more recently. He also matches a Willbanks.
Eaves is most likely I1-AS1, an I1 Anglo-Saxon clade making a strong appearance in Scotland. "It is heavy in Germany and is the I1 clade with clearly the most Netherlands and Belgium examples. My present best guess is that it was originally of the Saxon tribes. They are noted as expanding into the low countries region around Roman times. And of course Saxons were a big part of the 5th century Germanic settlings into England. The TMRCA [time to most recent common ancestor] for I1-AS1 is about 2000 years ago. It is the largest clade of I1-AS from our databases.” [Ken Nordvedt, Haplogroup I expert] This is a different I1 Anglo-Saxon clade from the others in this group. Since the founder of Eaves clade lived about 2000 years ago, this is a very distant connection indeed.
