About us
Six Paternal, two Maternal and one son of a maternal Lumpkin(s) DNA kits have been analyzed so far under the Lumpkins DNA project. Of the six actual paternal kits we have realized four distinct families.
Two of the participants share an exact match of 37 of 37 markers and were identified as Haplogroup I1. These members include kit 138733 and 54064 (Lumpkins DNA Project Administrator). Additional data on this distinct family is included in the Family Group Section of these findings and have been identified as FG-01.
Two of the participants share an exact match in 12 of 12 markers and were identified as Haplogroup J1. These members include kit 135571 and 130176. One of these families began in Maury County, Tennessee and moved on to Barry County, Missouri. I have no family history for the other participant. Additional data on this distinct family is included in the Family Group Section of these findings and have been identified as FG-02.
Kit 103900 has not matched any other Familytree DNA participants and as a result I have grouped him as a distinct family group. This Lumpkins participant has been identified as Haplogroup J1 (predicted). Additional data on this distinct family is included in the Family Group Section of these findings and have been identified as FG-03.
Kit 234467 did not closely match any other Familytree DNA participants and as a result I have grouped him as a distinct family group. However, there is a 10% chance that this Family Group and FG-01 have a common ancestor 24 generations ago. This Lumpkins participant has been identified as Haplogroup I1.
Additional data on this distinct family is included in the Family Group Section of these findings (see below) and have been identified as FG-04.
The two maternal DNA kits were completed outside of the scope of this project so I will not address the results. However, I would be glad to help interpret the results if requested. Also, we welcome these Lumpkins researcher to continue monitoring the results of our Lumpkins DNA Project!
Family Group Section
FG-01: The earliest record for this family group is Joseph Lumpkins who was born in Virginia. Joseph migrated to Morgan County, Kentucky by 1824 when he married Priscilla Barker. Joseph was joined by his brother William Lumpkins who migrated to Morgan County, Kentucky from Virginia before 1835. We know that William moved to Morgan County, Kentucky by 1835 because that is when he married Mary (Polly) Hammonds in Morgan County. John Lumpkins and his son Wesley joined William Lumpkins son, Thomas Joseph Lumpkins in Carter County, Kentucky. John Lumpkins was the apparent brother to William and Joseph Lumpkins.
Lab results show that this distinct Lumpkins family is an I1 Haplogroup which means this ancestor was of Anglo-Saxon/Nordic roots. Ancestors of this Haplogroup were part of the Middle Eastern clan that continued to migrate northwest into the Balkans and eventually spread into central Europe. The patriarch of Haplogroup I1 was born about 23,000 years ago or longer. His descendants were later forced into the isolated refuge areas during the last of the ice age in the Balkans and Iberia. As the ice sheets covering much of Europe began to retreat, his descendants likely played a central role in recolonizing central and northern Europe. Today, the I, I1, and I1a lineages are nearly completely restricted to northwestern Europe. One lineage of this group extends down into central Europe.
In Britain, Haplogroup I1 is often used as a marker for "invaders," Viking or Anglo-Saxon.
FG-02: The earliest record for this family group is George Lumpkins who was born about 1804 in Maury County, Tennessee. According to the researcher of this family, the earliest known confirmed member of this family was George Lumpkins whose family shows up in Lewis County, Tennessee at the time of the 1850 census. Lewis County is adjacent to Maury County where Moore Lumpkins resided the same year.
The earliest census that included a Lumpkins living in the Maury/Lewis County, Tennessee area was in 1820 when Moore Lumpkins shows up. He was listed as being born before 1776. Only Moore Lumpkins shows up during the subsequent 1830, 1840 and 1850 census of Maury County. All censuses confirm that he was born about 1775 plus or minus 5 years. According to the 1850 census, Moore Lumpkins was born in Virginia. He migrated to Maury County, Tennessee sometime before 1820. Moore passed away sometime after 1850.
Lab results show that this distinct Lumpkins family is a J1 Haplogroup which means this ancestor was born approximately 10,000 years ago, most likely in modern day Iraq. From this location they spread across the Middle East, Arabian Peninsula and Semitic-speaking populations of North Africa and Northeast Africa. Many of this group with European ancestory are Jewish.
FG-03: The oldest known ancestor for this distinct Lumpkins family was William Lumpkins who was living in Powell County, Kentucky in 1860.
This distinct Lumpkins family is also a J1 Haplogroup. Although FG-02 and FG-03 are both Haplogroup J1 they are not closely related. FG-01 and FG-03 are not related even though their oldest known ancestors lived extremely close to each other in Kentucky.
The progenitor of Haplogroup J1 was born approximately 10,000 years ago, most likely in modern day Iraq. From this location they spread across the Middle East, Arabian Peninsula and Semitic-speaking populations of North Africa and Northeast Africa. Many of this group with European ancestory are Jewish.
FG-04: The oldest known ancestor for this distinct Lumpkins family was William Henry Lumpkins who was Born on September 4, 1801 in King & Queen Co., Virginia. He died on September 19, 1874 in K & Q Co., Va. He was married first to Susan Hagan about 1826 in King & Queen Co., Virginia. His second wife was Susan Longest and they were married about 1839 in in King & Queen Co., Virginia. There is a 10% chance that this Family Group and FG-01 have a common ancestor 24 generations ago.

Note: It would be misleading if I did not remind all participants that there is a chance that some of our ancestors were not actually descendants of Lumpkins, either through adoption or infidelity. These variations may be realized as we complete additional DNA testing.
Two of the participants share an exact match of 37 of 37 markers and were identified as Haplogroup I1. These members include kit 138733 and 54064 (Lumpkins DNA Project Administrator).
