Thomas Sharpe - Y DNA Conflict

A Wikitree member posted Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 111 markers, haplogroup R-BY40276

Group 19 - Thomas Sharp, d. 1749, Cecil Co. MD R-Y137866

Group 20 - Robert Sharp, c.1750-1792 J-M267

That was the Y 111 page.

On the Y 37 page - ungroupee

William Sharp, b.c. 1735, Hanover Co., VA R-M198
Thomas Sharp, 1699-1749 Cecil Co. MD R-M198

Hello Erica Howton so this means there is at least one son that doesn't belong to him. Am I right?

Or grandson, etc

Possible grandfather William Sharp, Sr. shows no conflict and a group of DNA Markers: R-M198 details

So it’s possible one of other sons of Thomas Sharp, Sr. is linked in error.

J-M267 details contributed from a son of

Clyde Dearl Sharp

James & John are the DAR established children.

Do you see the DNA tree when you open up the DNA tab?

I’m going up the tree of the J contributor.

I think your Patriot John Sharpe

may be the misplaced man as his father is NN Son of Maj. Thomas Sharpe (very uncertain.)

In group 30 is James Deloss Sharp b. ca 1783 d. ca 1824 J-Z18182 (same as J-M267) & he’s an ancestor of Clyde Dearl Sharp

The R M198 contributor descends from Thomas Sharpe, Jr

Disconnecting James Deloss Sharp as child of Martha Sharpe & John Sharpe

He is listed as a child at DAR https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/default.cfm...

Here’s the comment.

Y DNA testing

As of 18 November 2021

https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Sharp?iframe=ycolorized

James Deloss Sharp Is listed as a child of John Sharpe at https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/default.cfm.... However, Y DNA testing shows “group 30, earliest known ancestor, James Deloss Sharp b. ca 1783 d. ca 1824” J-Z18182 (same as J-M267). He is an ancestor of Clyde Dearl Sharp

It is possible John Sharpe is also J M267 but so far do not see that result. The ancestor of this John is “Group 19, earliest known ancestor,
Thomas Sharp, d. 1749, Cecil Co. MD R-Y13786
(Thomas Sharpe of Cecil County), who is an ancestor of Harold Chancellor Sharpe, Sr

The disconnect resolved the Y DNA conflict.

Faustine Darsey on partial hiatus - can you check on Geni’s profile for John Sharpe 1744

Philip - Faustine is a DAR expert. I’m going to go ahead and disconnect the speculative NJ ancestry for Thomas Sharpe of Cecil County So glad you’ve done the DNA testing!

Hello Erica Howton John's parents are correct per DAR information. There is a very recently approved application going through Thomas m: Gillespie and John m: Lilly McKay.

John Sharpe 1744 Ancestor #: A102952

Thank you, Faustine Darsey on partial hiatus

I’m rather pleased at how good this Sharp tree is now. It does seem to be that James Deloss Sharp was truly thought to be of this line - he’s DAR accepted - so it must be very recent, and thanks to Big Y! That there’s this proof that it can’t be so. Never say genealogy is ever over.

Hello Erica,
I am also pleased and glad to see an example of using DNA to make corrections. I did find another tree with James Sharp & Isabella McKnight. Neither show a father for James. What do you think about merging them?

Merging done.
