DNA

  • Maternal relationship is confirmed by a triangulated group on GEDmatch, who share a 13.2 cM segment on chromosome 10, consisting of Nell Tyner, GEDmatch kit # QG5116264, and Ron Head, her 4th cousin, GEDmatch kit # M173410, and JB McCrummen, her 5th cousin, GEDmatch kit # T672969. (Ron and JB are 5th cousins.) Their most-recent common ancestors are Murdoch McLean and Catharine UNKNOWN, the 4x great grandparents of both Nell Tyner and Ron Head and 4x great grandparents of JB McCrummen.
  • GEDmatch estimates 3.5, 4.1, and 4.5 generations to MRCA, respectively, based on Tyner and McCrummen sharing 110.7 cM over 6 segments, Head and McCrummen sharing 46.2 cM over 3 segments, and Tyner and Head sharing 29 cM over 2 segments.

I just re-read Aunt Mayme's book on Norman A. Campbell, the part where she is looking for his father, where she speculates on page 4 that there were only 2 candidate families in the 1820 census of Moore Co., NC..... a Samuel Campbell, who had one son under age 10, and a John Campbell had two sons under age 10. Mayme Tyner further speculates that since there was only one McCrimmon, a Daniel McCrimmon, in that census, who had 3 daughters under age 10, that he must have been Catherine McCrimmon's father (Catharine McCrimmon married Norman A. Campbell). I wonder if she failed to consider the spelling issue.... I never heard her comment that McCrimmon was spelled in different ways. I have found McCrummen, McCrumen, and lots of others. Likely she missed Catharine's family just because she did not consider the spelling differences. These people often could not read nor write. My DNA and that of Miriam (Campbell) Arnold matches Jim McCrummen and his son JB McCrummen. I believe that Catharine McCrimmon was one of the few in the family that switched over to spelling her last name that way. In the 1870 census of Coffee county, Alabama, T 5 R 19, Norman is listed as "Campbell, N A" but the transcriber read it as " H A". If you look at the line above him, the name "Newsom" it is evident that the census taker made his capital N looking similar to a capital H. Norman is 52 and his wife is 50, he is listed as a "Miller" with lands valued at $800 and personal assets of $500.

From "Norman A. Campbell" by Mayme Tyner, 1980: The first record of Noman and his wife Catharine McCrimmon (or McCrummen) was when they lived in Holmes Valley (now washington co. Fl.) in the 1850 census. they had been both born in NC according to later census records. Beginning in October 1851, Norman served 2 years as Clerk of the Court in Washington County. His eldest daughter, Mary Ann, was born in Florida in 1847. They had 5 children when they left Holmes Valley and came to NW Walton County (now Okaloosa county, since the 1915 partition) sometime in late 1853. An infant daughter was the first person buried in Almarante cemetery near Laurel Hill. Sometime after 1855 but before 1870, another daughter, Effie, died and was the second person buried there. She was about 10. W.B. Wright &Co. donated the 20 acres for the cemetery on June 20, 1905. The area of Holmes Valley was wet and swampy and full of mosquitoes. As a result, most members of the family suffered with chills and fever, from Malaria. they migrated to Walton county for health reasons. In the 1860 census, Norman was living on the S1/2 of the NE1/4, section18, township 5 north, range 22 west, where he operated a Stage Coach Inn on a route to and from Milton, Fl and places north (this land presently owned by Sara Eoff, great-granddaughter). It is near the junction of highway 85 and SR 2. He raised sheep and some cattle and had a small farming operation. Sheep are of such a nature that they will not cross water or streams unless under duress. As a result, he built a split rail fence between Hogpen and Juniper branches (creeks) and kept his sheep in the fork of the two branches. While the family was living there, his son John (born 1844) met and married Josephine Baggett, and stayed in the area when Norman moved to Coffee county, Alabama, where we find him in the 1870 census. John homesteaded 160 acres of land in about 1888-1895 and the deed, signed by Pres. Grover Cleveland, as well as the property and his house built in 1888, is still in possession of the family (great-grandson Mack Tyner). These lands became part of the new Okaloosa county in 1915.

In 1870, Norman operated a water-driven saw mill on Double Bridges creek in Coffee county, Alabama, where he owned 880 acres of land. His grave has not been found. He sold the 880 acres to his son Roderick D. Campbell, in 1888 (March 8) for $4400. In 1892 Roderick sold 400 acres of it to A.S. Shiver for $800. Presumably Norman had died between 1888 and 1892. We are told that in later life, Norman practiced medicine at Clintonville, Alabama about 10 or 12 miles north of his home on Double Bridges Creek in coffee county.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Norman by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Norman:
