Warning: Check the data. A child's birth date (Vanmeter-762 born 1666) should not be before a parent is six years old (Stroud-744 born 30 Aug 1725) . A parent's death date (Stroud-744 died 24 Dec 1799) should not be more than 110 years after the birth of one of their children (Vanmeter-762 born 1666) . This would mean the parent lived to be well over 110.

Research Notes

Re: McNeille Vanmeter-762 - his profile says he was born 1666, Berkeley, West Virginia (Berkeley was Virginia until 1860s). I think that "1666" is probably a century typo & 1766 (if not 1866) was meant. I recommend his birth year be changed to 1766 & that he be detached as son of Jacob Van_Meter-4 and Letitia & attached as son of Jacob Van_Meter-390 of Berkeley, b 1745 - at least that puts him in the right county. ~ Noland-165 16:12, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Letitia by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Letitia:

Letitia cannot have died in 1799. During the October 1801 session of the Hardin court, she was granted a renewal of her tavern license, which she held following Jacob's death. See https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9P3Y-QJQ?i=179&cc=1875188&cat=289240

Your DNA confirmation is incomplete. According to the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker (https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/clarke11007/DNAconf.php ) a X-Chromosome DNA Confirmation for exactly 2 people is only valid if both DNA test takers are male.

If one or both of the DNA test takers are female, then a third DNA test taker is required, and triangulation is needed to verify the X-chromosome match. I have changed the 'confirmed with DNA' entries to 'confident'. Please create an appropriate DNA confirmation statement before changing them back. Thanks!

Someone has contacted me with a question about the son William. She is a descendant, but has not seen proof that he is the son of Jacob and Letitia Stroud. Can anyone help her? Noland 588.

Jacob of Berkeley has a WikiTree profile: Van_Meter-390.

update: added DAR link to Jacob of Berkeley (not Letitia's husband)

I tried to see if McNeille b 1666 might belong to someone else. Didn't find a likely profile for another Jacob, but I did find a MyHeritage entry that says he's a sibling of Abraham born 1744 to Jacob Jansen Van Meter and Letitia Van Meter (born Stroud) & apparently citing DAR (the DAR image is displayed): https://www.myheritage.com/names/abraham_vanmeter

There were several Jacob Van Meters in the DAR database. I added a link for her husband's record under Sources. I didn't see any child named McNeille in any of their records (but DAR only includes a child if a descendant joined the DAR by documenting to the Patriot Ancestor through that child).

However, one Jacob Van Meter was of Berkeley, so I think McNeille (whose profile says born Berkeley) belongs to that branch of Van Meters & 1666 is probably a century typo (born 1766 - or maybe even 1866, since his profile, as of 26 July 2019, says he was born in West Virginia).

oops - the quote about third cousins is from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:DNA_Confirmation

I was going to post a question to G2G about "confirmed with DNA" (the DNA section talks of a match between two people - I think you need three), but then I saw how many people are listed under the DNA section.

Any profile manager up to checking for more DNA confirmations? If not, I'll post to G2G. If so... Fingers crossed another will be found!

Cheers, Liz

P.S. I did some checking, and apparently you need three only if the two that match are "beyond a third cousin (such as a third cousin once removed, a fourth cousin, etc.) see Help:Triangulation."

So... since the two that match are "8th cousins once removed", a third match is needed.

Strode-678 and Stroud-744 appear to represent the same person because: See note at top of Stroud-744 about LNAB (Stroud should be retained & is protected so that the direction of the merge is forced: Strode-678 into Stroud-744). Dates/people are the same. Stroud-744 shows birth in Frederick, Virginia (not PA), and her mother's birth in VA, so Virginia is presumed to be the correct location. Please merge. Thanks!

I've never heard of Elizabethtown, VA, and neither has Google Earth, apparently! Can you give a county??
