It will be interestng, as more Brown descendents discover their DNA, how this line connects. With so many of a similar name it will either add to the confusion or clear things up! I look forward to verifying the family legend of my line of Isaac Brown and wife Mary and their son (my great, great, great grandfather) Ptolema Philadelphius Brown.
So far a male descendent of that line, Velma nee Cochren has been identified as having DNA fitting into Haplogroup U5a1a1. Her family tree names include; BROWN, COCHREN, FENTON, DRAKE, MORTIMORE, KIRKPATRICK, DESHIL/DRISCOL, etc.
Her female ancestors include names: BROWN, FENTON, DRAKE, MORTIMORE, KIRKPATRICK, DESHIL/DRISCOL and possibly MOONEY.
"U5a1a1 is very large and diverse with 5 named subclades (U5a1a1a to U5a1a1e) and another 40 samples that are U5a1a1*, and 10 samples that are U5a1a1 with no extra mutations. U5a1a1 and its subclades are found throughout Europe. U5a1a1* has the largest number of samples in the UK, with a smaller number found in Germany, Poland and Scandinavia, a still smaller number found in eastern Europe and 2 samples in Turkey. There are 27 samples of U5a1a1 that also have a mutation at 152, including subclades U5a1a1a and U5a1a1b. These samples are found most frequently in eastern Europe and Russia. U5a1a1c has 7 samples and is found in Sweden, Scotland, Slovenia and Russia. U5a1a1d has 23 samples and is found most often in Ireland, Scotland and Wales with a smaller number of samples in western Europe and rarely found in eastern Europe. It is interesting that U5a1a1d is found most frequently in Ireland and Scotland and less frequently in England. Perhaps this group had its origins among early Britons and was replaced in England by later migrations? There are 4 U5a1a1e samples, one each from the UK, Poland, Norway and Finland. There is also a proposed new subclade U5a1a1*Group F with a back mutation at 16270 that has been found in Germany, Bohemia and Hungary."
"U5a1a is the largest subclade with 133 FMS test results, and Behar et al. estimate its age as about 12,000 ybp. There are 103 FMS test results in U5a1a1 (6,800 ybp) and 30 FMS test results in U5a1a2 (10,300 ybp). There are no known test results that are U5a1a*, and this might indicate that U5a1a lived in a community with slow population growth, while its two subclades lived in communities that had begun to grow very rapidly. U5a1a1 is very large and diverse with 5 named subclades (U5a1a1a to U5a1a1e) and another 26 samples that are U5a1a1*, and 8 samples that are U5a1a1 with no extra mutations. U5a1a1 and its subclades are found throughout Europe. U5a1a1* has the largest number of samples in the UK, with a smaller number found in Germany, Poland and Scandinavia, a still smaller number found in eastern Europe and 2 samples in Turkey. There are 20 samples of U5a1a1 that also have a mutation at 152, including subclades U5a1a1a and U5a1a1b. These samples are found most frequently in eastern Europe.
