DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William 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 William:
Thank you for the suggestion. Her name is incorrect in the newspaper article. Her name was Martha Elmina Perry before her marriage, but she went by Elmina. We have this on multiple documents from multiple sources. She was my great grandmother.
So she never was referred to as “Emma” as the article states? Not even as a nickname possibility? I have seen misspellings it’s so common In genealogy but first hand knowledge supersedes all.
Elmina was long gone by the time I was born, so my knowledge is second hand from two people who knew her and lived with her until her death. According to my grandmother Eunice, her daughter-in-law, and my mother, her granddaughter, Elmina was always called Elmina and you didn't dare shorten it. Her younger sister was named Emily and was sometimes called Em or Emmy. It is probable that the newspaper got the information by word of mouth and not first hand from William or Elmina. Sadly, the Keowee Courier of that era is littered with incorrect names and information as are so many of the newspapers of that time. Thankfully, the modern day Keowee Courier is a professionally run newspaper that fact checks articles.
Hunnicutt-162 and Hunnicutt-108 appear to represent the same person because: Dates match, and death record in comment on Hunnicutt-108 suggests parents are correct.
Jillaine, thank you. However, if you check the document, you will see that John's mother is listed as Martha Perry, not Margaret. Her maiden name was Martha Elmina Perry and she went by Elmina.
Hunnicutt-162 and Hunnicutt-108 are not ready to be merged because: I won't approve the merge until I find a source that states that that John is his son. Please provide a source or allow me time to find one.
Hunnicutt-162 and Hunnicutt-108 appear to represent the same person because: Please merge these two, as they are the same person, my great grandfather. I was trying to link my grandfather, John Fulton Hunnicutt, to Hunnicutt-108, and instead it added a new listing for great granddaddy.
Thank you for posting his picture!
