Created
April 2, 2012 :
This DNA Note sets out
certain research conducted by Arthur Owen and others, related to the ancestry
of Jesse Strang, now believed to be a matrilineal
descendant of French Hugenots Daniel Streing and his wife, Charlotte Le Maistre,
through a great-granddaughter, Mary Strang. See the pedigree charts for kits
#6611, 121477, 176758, & 226260 , and see also in Y_Search,
Kit
# TND6J . DNA
Results may be reviewed at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/dnaresults.htm
. It will be observed that there is a
Y-DNA Match between the participants listed in Y_Search
Kit
# TND6J and FTDNA Kit
#176758 and Kit
#226260.

Subject: Strang Kit 226260
Hello David,
We have previously communicated concerning the Y-DNA kits connected to the Strang [family] of
Westchester Co, NY.
I am one of the co-sponsors for the Y-DNA testing (kit 226260) of a patrilineal descendant of Jesse Strang,
b. ca 1763 Westchester Co, NY who came to Prince
Edward Island, Canada as a Loyalist in 1784. Family stories were that
Jesse was the son of [a certain] Daniel
Strang who was hung as a [Loyalist] spy during the American Revolution. The results of
the above test [kit#226260] and those
for another descendant of Jesse Strang (kit 176758)
clearly
show that Jesse did not get his Y-DNA from the
Strang family of
I have copied the other co-sponsors as well as the contact person for the other
Jesse Strang descendant's kit on this e-mail.
Exact and close matches of the Jesse Strang results
with numerous Tompkins Y-DNA kits strongly indicated that Jesse's father was a
Tompkins.
I have submitted the most recent kit to the Strang
DNA project for completeness and in case other descendants of Jesse Strang should go looking there for answers. I am not sure
how you represent [Non Parental Events]
NPE's in the data, but suggest you do so for these
kits.
Regards,
Arthur

Kit 226260
Hi David,
In 2010 I was working with C. (Strang) H. trying to
prove her connection to Jesse Strang. In the end I
suggested a Y-DNA test which her father subsequently took (kit 176758). …. when I did see the results in fall 2011 I told
them it looked like an NPE on their line. However, since there are no
contemporary sources 'proving' Jesse's father or mother, I also thought that
the NPE might be with Jesse.
I then solicited some other Strang researchers to
help fund a test …. and recruited a viable test
subject, [Kit #226260]. The common
ancestor for the two test subjects is Jesse [Strang] as shown at http://ourmaritimeties.com/tng/relationship.php?altprimarypersonID=&savedpersonID=&secondpersonID=I60971&maxrels=1&disallowspouses=0&generations=15&tree=Arthur&primarypersonID=I44102.
We aren't 100% sure that [Kit #176758’s] ancestor
William is the son of William Wright Strang, but it
is the only possible line. Since their two kits have a 37-marker match,
the results are also those of Jesse.
Now it is possible that the NPE occurred with Daniel Strang
the British recruiter who was always thought to be Jesse's father, but given
the lack of sources for Jesse's parents it more likely occurred with him. You
have another kit [#121477] that traces back to Daniel Strang's
brother Solomon so the only choices are Daniel or Jesse.
All is not lost since we now believe that Mary Strang,
the sister of Daniel Strang the recruiter, is likely
Jesse's mother. The other co-sponsors and myself have written up our
'finding' and it is available at http://ourmaritimeties.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Jesse-Strang-DNA.pdf
Since we strongly believe that the NPE occurred with Jesse who was b. ca 1763 in Westchester Co, NY, that is where we will be
looking for a potential Tompkins father.
I know there was at least one Tompkins family from Westchester or area who went
to
I have not yet added [Kit#226260] to
Y-search but will be doing so.
I will still be interested in the Strang ancestry
because of Mary Strang, I just won't be able to prove the connection with
DNA. The way I look at it we went from knowing a probable father (Daniel Strang) of Jesse with no ideal of his mother to having a
probable mother (Mary Strang) and a likely surname of
his father (Tompkins). So I think we did advance our knowledge somewhat.
Regards,
Arthur
