Aug. 30, 2018: New website! Please visit  https://geneticlincoln.com  for additional Hanks information and much more. 

The administrator of the Hanks DNA Project launched a new website, Genetic Lincoln to study the Genetic Ancestry of Abraham Lincoln. Designed to be a working website, Genetic Lincoln will include additional detailed information about the Nancy Hanks Lincoln mtDNA Study as well as informative, fully foot-noted Hanks families research reports to help with your research.  Thanks for checking it out...

descended from:
Nancy Lyons b ca 1803 (believed to have been unmarried mother of seven children).  Thru DNA evidence, at least one male child connects to William Lyon (no S). Son William H. Lyons b ca 1847 and dau Josephine Lyons b ca 1850 may be children of Thomas Payne, who was not married to Nancy.  Payne was a widower whose wife was named Sarah Lyons.
Josephine Lyons b ca 1850, unmarried when son Thomas was born 1878.  She also had dau Sarah V. b 1873.  In 1878 Josephine m Stephen Bell and children took the name Bell.

Father of DNA Participant

     Note:  Looking at the 1870 census for Carroll County, there were 6 Hanks families living at Fancy Gap, VA which sets atop a mountain above Lambsburg.  Several of these Hanks families had teen age sons, about Josephine's age.   It looks to me like all 6 of these families trace back to a Joshua Hanks and Ruth Bryant.  Joshua must have been born before the Revolution.  Would like to narrow the field of Hanks boys down some, but that may not be possible.
