Introduction
The FTDNA Souder Surname DNA Project [1] identifies a number of different families carrying the Souder surname (or a variant). Of these, two appear to be confirmed as having an association with Anabaptist churches. They are identified in y-DNA studies as Groups 2 and 6.[2]
Group 2
Descendants of Jacob Souder (c.1680-c.1737) - G haplogroup
Group 6
Descendants of Casper Sauder (c.1726-c.1793) - R1b haplogroup
Jacob Sowder (c.1734-1818) of Virginia
Two conflicting claims are made to the family of Jacob Sowder (c.1734-c.1818) of Virginia :
- One of these is in Group 2, but is very distantly related to the others (common ancestor estimated to have been born c.1350).[2]
- Another (Group 8) is in the R1b haplogroup but unrelated to any other Souder lines.[2]
Jacob of VA has been popularly supposed to be a son of Jacob Souder (c.1680-c.1737) (ancestor of the G haplogroup). However, this is not supported by either of the claims noted above.
