Ethnic heritage
My ancestry is entirely European-American, with modern origins in the British Isles and northwest Europe.
Ethnicities
100% European
- 99% Northwest European
- Ulster Scots/Scotch-Irish
My paternal Kennedy line is Scotch-Irish; my great-grandfather Robert Kennedy was entirely Scotch-Irish, and I have many other Scotch-Irish lines. - English
- Scottish
- German
- Dutch
- French
- Welsh
- Irish
- Walloon
- Swiss
- Norse
I have no modern Scandinavian ancestors for hundreds of years, but admixture results for myself and both parents show a significant "Scandinavian" contribution on the order of 10%. My "Scandinavian" ethnic heritage is attributable to Norse/Viking intermarriage with British Celts and Anglo-Normans or other continental Germanic/Celtic tribes during the High Middle Ages.
- Ulster Scots/Scotch-Irish
- ~1% Ashkenazi Jewish
- one segment each on chromosomes 2 (hg37 range: 155838306-208229501) and 14 (20416499-34136204) presumably inherited from an unknown ancestor of Harry Diehl

- Lutheran
- Huguenot
- Dutch Reformed
- Puritan/Separatist/Nonconformist/Congregational

American heritage
I am the 16th generation of my family in America. My earliest American ancestors came Jamestown with the Second Supply on the Mary and Margaret in 1608, to Plymouth Colony on the Mayflower in 1620 and de Eendracht to New Netherland in 1624.
All eight of my great-grandparents were born in Pennsylvania, Maryland, or New York.
My most recent immigrant ancestors are my second great-grandparents William and Mary Kennedy, from County Antrim, Ireland, and my second-great-grandfather Jacob Hildt, from Darmstadt, Hesse. The other 13 of that generation were all born in America, as were 24/32 of my 3rd-great-grandparents (half of my father's 2-ggrandparents and all of my mother's, average birth year being 1821).
All of my grandmother Elnora Heffron Teeter's ancestors living at the time of the American Revolution were, so far as I can determine, already living in America. All of my grandparents descend from Revolutionary War patriots, and probably close to half of my ancestors were in America in 1776.
My father’s ancestors lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and as far south as the vicinity of present-day Bunker Hill, Berkeley County, on Opequan Creek in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia—old Frederick County, Virginia. One of his ancestors, Thomas Forest (1572-1641), a Jamestown investor came to Virginia in 1608 before joining the first settlement of St. Mary's in Maryland.
My mother’s ancestors lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
I am 9th generation Appalachian on both sides of my family, and the 9th generation on my mother’s side to have lived in Tompkins County, New York.
Occupational heritage
- Parents: Presbyterian minister, English teacher
- Grandfathers: Druggist, Lineworker
- Great-grandfathers: Rail flagman/hostler, Methodist minister, laborer (x2)
- 2nd g-grandfathers: Carpet weaver, barber, farmer (5x), farmer/factory shoemaker
Pedigree collapse
My most recent known pedigree collapse is relatively distant at my 6th great-grandparents Peter Teeter (1749-1832) and his second wife Margaret (Rice) Teeter (1757-1847), whom I descend from through both of my maternal grandparents. I descend from Peter's parents three ways; two through my grandfather and one through my grandmother. Given the completeness of my tree it is unlikely there are more recent instances of undiscovered pedigree collapse.
On my father's side the most recent pedigree collapse is my 6th great-grandparents Godfrey Grünzweig (1731-1822) and Maria (Pettit) Grünzweig (1735-1818), whom I descend through two ways; my 3rd great-grandfather Samuel Greenzweig (1829-1906)'s parents Samuel Greenzweig (1802-1878) and Sarah Grunzweig (1805-1880) were both Greenzweigs and first cousins.

Autosomal
Admixture analysis is highly dependent on methodology, but the consistent finding can be broadly summarized as 99% northwest European, 1% European/Ashkenazi Jewish (a segment each on chromosomes 2 and 14). My father's admixture being 96% northwest European and 4% European/Ashkenazi Jewish, and my mother's admixture being 100% northwest European.

Thanks for noticing and the feedback and I'm glad what I found lines up. Most of my additions could use more sources and such; feel free to add or correct anything you wish. I enjoy working on these Appalachian families.
Another politically-active Ohioan with Owsley County roots is J.D. Vance, who has Brandenburg through his grandfather Donald C Bowman (1935-1961); J.D. is both your and Clarence's fourth cousin once removed through that line. Probably other connections too in these tight-knit communities, but that's what sticks out from what's on WikiTree.
And while I'm a northerner (despite my parents narrowly missing moving to Hazard, Kentucky before I was born), we are kinfolk in a way and share some Yankee roots, including descent from Thomas Bliss (bef.1595-bef.1651), one of the Founders of Hartford.

See page 14. The father I had was "Henry J Kuipershoek," born in the Netherlands, and I'm sorry I don't have immediate access to a good source for that info. If you like I can revisit this when I have time to get to it.

Just checking to see how we are connected. My great grandmother is Edith Gertrude Kennedy Dodd and you are here profile manager. Would love to connect with you, Nathan.
Sincerely, Your Cousin, Larry W. Dodd Grandson of James William Dodd and Edith Gertrude Kennedy Dodd
I am sure we are cousins many ways but I don’t have any connection between our Kennedys, yet anyway. I have done research on a lot of Scots-Irish and Scottish Kennedys especially in Appalachia but I haven’t tracked yours back very far and don’t have any connection between yours and mine yet.
If perhaps one of your male Kennedy cousins could do a Y DNA test that could be helpful to determining your Kennedy DNA roots and connections.
edited by Nathan Kennedy
Have you done AncestryDNA? That could provide compelling confirmation of some of your ancestors perhaps including these. Edit: I see you have Family Finder on your profile. That’s great, but I’ve personally had more success with confirmations and breaking brick walls with AncestryDNA. More matches and usually more genealogical mileage with matches there. Also if you wanted you could share your test results for help interpreting or extending them.
edited by Nathan Kennedy
And yes, I do plan to get my Ancestry DNA done at some point. I've migrated my ftDNA results to MyHeritage, and had some luck finding connections on other lines there, but no helpful Young matches yet. This line you've opened up gives me a lot more points of comparison, so again, thank you so much.
Thanks for creating Zulu Myrle (Garrigus) Coleman (1906-1958), but you seem to have a bad birth date on the profile. What you have there is the same as her marriage date and it's just a few years before her daughter Erma Leon (Coleman) Dudley (1907-1995)'s birth.
I just looked at the findagrave that you linked and fixed it.
[edit] and then I merged it with the existing Zula Myrle (Garrigus) Coleman (1881-1958). Thanks again.

Also - last time I was on Teeter Rd I saw the old carriage house but not the old family home. That was ballatbox #90 land tract given to the Teeter brothers for service in the war. The block north #91 was awarded to the Blooms who married into the Teeters more than once. You can see that Julia Bloom married Johannes Henrich Teeter. Julies Dad was Brigadier General Johannes Henrich Bloom the hero of Lundies Landing in Canada in 1812. His dad was Ephriam Bloom a Pvt in 1776 and nothing more. Some overly zealous family historians have tried to make Ephriam out as something grander. The oldest Teeter brother did not move to Lansing after the great war of 1776 because he married a British war widow and moved to Canada. That was Adam Michael Teeter and one of his adopted sons built the Welling canal. There are many cousins in and around Hamilton Canada from Adam Michael. Lots of them.
I was generally aware of the outline of most of what you've written, although I hadn't traced out all of the title history of the Teeter lands. My ancestor Charles Hagin (Matilda's father) is said to have been pressed into the army in Belfast and sent to raid Fort Oswego but instead to have defected to the American side where he lost his arm to a musket ball at Lundy's Lane (where the Americans were shooting and killing his future son-in-law's now British Canadian Teeter relations). His own father may have been killed in the Rising of 1798, making him all the less friendly toward the British who drafted him.
Not sure which home you are referring to. There's still a Teeter living toward the east end of that road. The one my great grandparents Raymond and Katherine lived in was preserved and moved down Teeter Rd.
While I am still sorting out titles I thought most of that Teeter farm did not originate in a grant to the Teeters but came through Raymond's mother Elizabeth Shergur. Portland Point was originally Koplin's Point, but came into possession of Elizabeth's grandfather Joseph Shergur and it became Shurger's Point. His son-in-law Hartson Collins developed the mineral resources at now Collin's Point that were developed into the Portland Point Cement company and sold out of the family, but the name Shurger Glen stuck with the Gulf Creek gorge, and I had thought some of our former Teeter property came from the division of Joseph's land, though I could be wrong.
Note Joseph's father Jeromia is buried at Asbury and is the first Shurger to come to Lansing. His father was killed (hatcheted, possibly scalped) in an Indian raid at the frontier settlement of Pine Bush in Orange County on September 5, 1778, and the cabin burned, when Jeromia was five years old—one of the many raids that prompted the Sullivan Expedition.
Henry Teeter served with the Pennsylvania Northampton County militia; other brothers served with that, the Continental Army (for Adam Michael) or New Jersey, and none would be eligible for NY Military Tract bounty land direct allotment for their service. I'm sure the estate of the Christian Guthrie sold their allotment; I'd have to do some more digging.

Is it true that Matilda Hagin was married to both Teeters or was that an error that crept into the tree somehow? I need to check how that was added and if there are sources. Chauncey had sold his property on Teeter Road in Lansing to my great grandfather Raymond Teeter. Cornell now owns part of that property as part of the Edwards Lake Cliffs Preserve and we still hunt there.

And if you are comparing to me for Carey matches you are much better comparing to my grandfather Francis Teeter's FTDNA kit, gedmatch ID "T428988".
