Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
I am Peter Biggins [email address removed] . Patrick Biggins is my great great grandfather.
I am one of 12 Y-DNA testers who share a mutation that no one else has. The mutation occurred around 1350 AD--after the adoption of surnames in Ireland. The 12 of us have similar surnames: Beaghen, Beggan, Biggin, Biggins, Bigham, and Little. The Irish word for little is beag. 2 testers were born in Clones. The other 10 testers were born in America, Australia, and Scotland. Our known ancestors come from counties Fermanagh, Monaghan, and Cavan.
5 of the 12 share a mutation that occurred around 1400 AD. 3 of the 5 share a mutation that occurred around 1500 AD. 2 of the 3 share a mutation that occurred around 1600 AD (they descend from a Patrick Beggan born in Cavan in 1779).
The 12 Beggan testers have an earlier mutaion that occurred around 550 AD that is shared with other testers: 46 McDonald, 22 Connolly, 12 Boylan, 12 McGuire, 6 King, 5 McAuley, 5 Larkin, 4 O'Hara, 4 MacDougall, 4 White, and 3 Martin. Certain of the McDonalds can trace their ancient ancestry back to Carthend, who lived in Tirkeeran on the Faughan River around 550 AD. Tir-Keeran is the "land of Carthend." Saint Patrick founded seven churches in Tirkeeran. Carthend was the grandson of Colla Uais. This larger group of testers has a mutation that occurred around 475 AD that is shared with McMahons and many other testers. Certain of the McMahons can trace their ancient ancestry back to Colla da Crioch. Colla Uais, Colla da Crioch, and Colla Meann were three brothers with Celtic Y-DNA who came to Ireland from England. They are called The Three Collas.
