Introduction

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the genetic and genealogical data of male descendants of Aaron Stark [1608-1685] having the surname "Stark." This report will provide explanations of how we have arrived at certain conclusions; identify reoccurring haplotypes that can identify probable male descendants of Aaron; determine the probable ancestral haplotype of Aaron; and discuss the rate of mutation of the Y-DNA of Aaron's descendants.

There will be descriptions of differences (or mutations) observed between members at one or more DYS Markers. (See DYS Marker Definition). Because one differs from another at one or more of the markers discussed  is not a bad sign nor are the matches a good sign. Enough marker matches merely explains relatedness between individuals while not enough matches explains non-relatedness of Individuals. The Group 1 Selection Criteria  can be found in Appendix 3 of this article.

All of the male individuals discussed in this report have the surname Stark or Starks and have been found through genealogical research to be descendants of Aaron Stark [1608-1685] of Connecticut.  The Genetic Results confirms there is a high probability these men all have a common ancestor who lived within the previous 20 generations.

Background

The origins of the Stark surname in North America began with the arrival of Aaron Stark in New England between 1630 and 1637 —  most likely from Scotland or England. He was born about 1608 and died in 1685 in New London County, Connecticut. His service in the Pequot War under Captain John Mason in May of 1637, was the first record we have of him in Connecticut. He eventually settled in New London County, Connecticut in a region that later became Groton Township. 

 Those who have participated in the Stark Family Y-DNA Project have been found to be descendants of many genetically unrelated families having the surname Stark or one of it's derivatives.  The majority of the participants are descendants of families that settled in New Hampshire, Virginia, and Connecticut. Contrary to the beliefs of some earlier researchers, the Stark Family Y-DNA Project has clearly proven the descendants of Aaron Stark are not  related to the descendants of the New Hampshire and Virginia families.

The male Y-chromosome is handed down from father to son relatively unchanged through the generations. A comparison of the Y-DNA of two males with the same surname can determine their relatedness to each other. Groups of males with the same surname so tested and compared can define family groups and establish a probability they have a most recent common ancestor who lived after the usage of surnames became common in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. Considering that one generation is about 25 years or more, the year 1500 would be the approximate equivalent of about 20 generations prior to the present generations.

Those males with the surname Stark who have been genealogically proven to be descendants of Aaron Stark are descendants of two of his sons — Aaron Stark II [1654-1701] and William Stark, Sr. [1664-1730]. It is known with certainty that Aaron Stark lived approximately between the years 1608 and 1685 — well after the establishment of surnames in Europe. The following list identifies the Kit number of the descendants of Aaron Stark [1608-1685] and groups them as descendants of the two sons of Aaron. 

 

Descendants of William Stark (Senior): 

16335, 48711, 63737, 75156, 76234, 74961, 78077, 78078, 80860, 98044, 115456, 119763,165568, 154414, 176520, 178528, 202299, 203166, 9Z5ZG, N17289, N56748, N66901

Descendants of Aaron Stark (Junior): 

87105, 98140, 102286, 115764, 135468, 172378, 194579, 206763

  

A conservative probability of 80% or greater — for the purposes of this discussion — will be considered a confidence threshold of sufficient probability to declare that any two individuals compared most likely did have a common ancestor that lived within the number of generations specified. Probabilities below this threshold will be deemed insufficient. This threshold is intended as a guideline and should be the subject of further interpretation when the plots approach 80% from the direction of greater or lesser probabilities.

This population of individuals have been variously tested over Panel 1 (Markers 1-12), Panel 2 (Markers 13-25), and Panel 3 (Markers 26-37) as will be presented in the Genetic Results Table. One or more participants can have the same haplotype over any combination of these Panels . For the purposes of this discussion, the most common haplotype over a selected group of DYS Markers will be referred to as Haplotype 1. Other lesser occurring haplotypes will be numbered 2 thru N (Haplotype 2, Haplotype 3,..., Haplotype N). All genetic comparisons of lesser occurring haplotypes in this report will be compared to the most common haplotype.

 

 

Terminology

Before we begin, here are some explanations of common terms used in this summary.

 

Allele Values:  

A DNA sequence that repeats at a certain locus or place. The allele value is the number of times the sequence repeats. (Pronounced uh-LEEL)

DYS Markers:  

(DNA Y-chromosome Segment number): The "name" of a marker on the Y-chromosome. It is assigned based on a nomenclature system controlled by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee, which assigns DYS numbers to newly discovered markers. DYS markers have "allele values" which are observed from DNA samples supplied to a laboratory by the Program Members. In our analysis, there will be 37 total DYS markers discussed. DYS-393 is the first marker followed by DYS-390, etc; until the last marker designated as DYS-438. {Return to Text}

Haplotype:  

A haplotype is defined as a collection of two or more DYS markers (DNA Y-chromosome Segment number). Our DYS Markers have been organized into three separate haplotypes identified as numbered "Panels." For example, DYS Markers 1 through 12 would be Panel 1; DYS Markers 13 through 25 would be Panel 2; and DYS Markers 26 through 37 would be Panel 3. The collection of DYS Allele values in each Panel or any combination of these panels represent a haplotype for each of the Members. {Return to Text}

Lineage:  

Each Member has submitted his genealogically researched direct male lineage to Aaron Stark. It is presumed these are accurate and have been properly researched. The lineages of all participants are presented in the Members Genealogical Lineage Table. Use Back Button to return to this text. 

Triangulation:  

A deductive method of determining an Ancestral Haplotype. In Genetic Genealogy, this is a process for determining the possible Y chromosome DNA of a male ancestor by evaluating the allele values at select DYS markers in the haplotypes; focusing specifically on comparisons of direct paternal line descendants of two or more known and different sons of a common male ancestor. (See Charles F. Kerchner, Jr.'s article entitled "Triangulation Method for Deducing the Ancestral Haplotype in Y-DNA Surname Projects.") Use Back Button to return to this text. 

Ancestral Haplotype:  

For this report, the Ancestral Haplotype derived from the Deductive Triangulation Method has be assigned to the genealogically determined common ancestor of all Members included in this analysis.

Group 1 Genetic Results

The following Genetic Results Table presents the allele values available over 37 DYS Markers for each of the members. Cells in the first two columns with this background color are descendants of William Stark [1664-1730] and are Members of Subgroup 1A; while cells in the first two columns with this background color are descendants of Aaron Stark II [1654-1701] and are Members of Subgroup 1B. These Columns reveal from which of the two sons of Aaron Stark I each member descends according to the genealogical research. The "letter" preceding each Kit # will be the "Letter Code ID" for each Member used when discussing genetic comparisons. [Comparison of A-B, for example.] Members in Subgroup 1C have genetic results suggesting they belong to Group 1; but because there is no genealogy information, they have been placed in this Subgroup.

For the purpose of this report, a Mutation occurs in a DYS Marker column when an allele value differs from the most common allele value in that column (excluding the ancestral haplotype allele values). For example, in Panel 1 (Markers 1 thru 12), all of the allele values in the Marker 2 (DYS-390) column are 24 resulting in no observed mutations in this column. However, in the Marker 1 (DYS-393) column, the allele value 13 occurs more often than the allele value 12. Therefore, Members F, R, and S having the allele value 12 in the Marker 1 column have their Marker 1 allele values highlighted in yellow; indicating each has a DYS-393 mutation relative to the more common allele value of 13. This method of determining mutations results in a minimum number of mutations for the population tested. The most common allele values in each row are presented in Row 1 and is defined as the 37 marker G1 Modal Haplotype.

Using genealogical and genetic data, the deductive triangulation method devised by Charles F. Kerchner, Jr. was employed to define the Ancestral Haplotype of Aaron Stark I. [See Charles F. Kerchner, Jr.'s article entitled "Triangulation Method for Deducing the Ancestral Haplotype in Y-DNA Surname Projects."] Cells with this background color report the most common DYS allele values. They also agree with the Ancestral Haplotype of Aaron Stark I [1608-1685]. Appendix 1 entitled "Defining the Ancestral Haplotype of Aaron Stark [1608-1685]" has a more complete analysis of this process. According to FTDNA, those DYS Markers labeled in RED have a higher mutation rate than those Markers not labeled in Red.

To review the lineage of any Member, clicking  on the "Kit#" will take you to a more complete lineage report. If the Allele value in the Marker 37 column is presented with a Red colored font, this member has genetic results beyond 37 markers. These results are  presented on the 67 Marker Y-DNA Test Results Web page.

Haplogroup R-M269 is a shorthand notation for Haplogroup R1b1a2. Red colored font for a member's haplogroup indicates a FTDNA prediction which has not been confirmed. However, the confirmed Haplogroup of N17289 (O) & 48711 (D) predicts all members of Subgroups 1a & 1b most likely will belong to Haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1a (shorthand notation is R-U106).

1)

9Z5ZG (F) was Tested by Sorenson Molecular Genetics Foundation. The white background cells in Panel 3 indicate these markers were not available for comparison to the FTDNA markers.

2)

Comments dated 02/15/2010: N66901 (N2) has the surname Kelly. Family tradition suggests g-grandfather changed surname from Stark to Kelly. Thomas Benton Kelly married Missouri Jane (Sheppard) Smith in 1887, her second marriage. Preliminary research suggests T. B. Kelly was an alias and he may have been David Franklin Stark, son of William A. Stark. William A. Stark may have been a son of Isaac Starks of Clermont County, Ohio. There is a 98.72% probability N66901 shares Aaron Stark [1608-1685] as a common ancestor when compared to those with the most common H37 haplotype. Research continues.

3)

87105 had an allele value at DYS-464e which is normally not a marker value found in the Panel 2 Haplotype. FTDNA reports the following: "Markers 464a-d are copies found at different locations on the Y chromosome. In about 1.5% of the test subjects, more than 4 copies will be present, representing Markers 464e, 464f, and 464g. If those additional markers are found, they are considered a one step mutation."

R-U106 is a shorthand Haplogroup presentation for Haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1a*. #N17289 & #48711 have undergone deep SNP testing at FTDNA with these results:

 

SNPs Tested

Comments

M207+ / M173+ / M343+ / P25+

Positive SNP test results prove he is R1b1. 

M18- / M73-

Negative results for M18 and M73 prove they are not R1b1c1 or R1b1a1.

M269+ / U106+

Positive result for M269 proves they are R1b1a2*, and the positive result for U106 proves they are R1b1a2a1a1a*. [The asterisk means this is a root haplogroup.]

U198- / P107- / L1- / L48- / L6- / 

P89.2- / L217- / L257 - / L325 -

Negative results for these SNPs prove they are not one of the known subclades of R1b1a2a1a1a*, but belong to the root/ancestral Haplogroup. 

M37- / M65- / M126- / M153- / M160- / 

M222- / P66- / SRY2627- / U152-

Negative results for these SNPS redundantly prove they are not any subclade of R1b1a2a1a1b*.

 

The R-U106 haplogroup has been found to represent in over 25% of those  found to be R1b haplogroup positive. The age of R- U106 is estimated to be around 3,100-3,900 years old. In Europe, R-U106 has a distribution running northwest to east and is found in higher concentrations in England (21.4%) and Scandinavia (Denmark 17.7%), reaches a maximum in the Netherlands (37.2%) and slopes down to the east through Germany (20.5%) and the Alps (Switzerland 13.3%, Austria 22.7%) towards the Czech Republic (13.9%) and Ukraine (9.4%). This confirmed haplogroup for #N17289 predicts all of the direct line descendants of Aaron Stark are R-U106 Haplogroup positive. The other members of Subgroups 1a & 1b have been predicted by FTDNA to belong to Haplogroup R1b1a2, shorthand notation being R-M269.

Comments: The genealogy suggest #76667 is a descendant of Zephaniah Stark and Zephaniah's Father, William Stark (Junior). The H37 haplotype of #76667 was genetically compared to that of #48711 (Subgroup 1A), a known descendant of William Stark (Junior). Their genetic distance was 15. There is a .12% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The odds greatly favor that they have not shared a common male ancestor within thousands of years making it genetically impossible William Stark (Junior) was  a common ancestor of #76667 and #48711. Either the 1872 publication entitled "History of Rutland, Vermont," by Caverly reporting Zephaniah was born in England is correct; or there was a non-paternal event in the generation of William (Junior) or in one of the generations that follows. Genetic results from a second descendant of Zephaniah could resolve this issue in the future.

2)

Comments: The genealogical research of # 84645 Stark reveals with reasonable accuracy he is a descendant of David Stark of Scott County, Indiana; reported by the genealogy to be a son of Daniel Stark [1746-1810]. Daniel Stark had a son named Jonathan D. Stark. The genealogy suggests #84645 shares Aaron Stark [1608-1685] as a common ancestor. The H25 haplotype of # 84645 was genetically compared to that of #16335 (Subgroup 1A), a known descendant of Jonathan D. Stark [1768-1828]. Their genetic distance was 6. There is a 12.98% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The odds greatly favor they have not shared a common male ancestor in excess of 5,000 years.  This suggests David Stark may have been a member of an unrelated Stark family living in Kentucky, rather than a son of Daniel Stark; or there was a non-paternal event in the generation of Daniel [1746-1810] or one of the generations that follows. Genetic results from a second descendant of David could resolve this issue in the future. [Any Mismatch over Markers 22,23,24, & 25 counts as a genetic distance of 1.

Genealogical Lineage

The following Genealogical Lineage Table shows the direct male line from each member to their earliest known ancestor. The Common Ancestor of all members, Aaron Stark [1608-1685], is presented in the Gen 12 column. Note that the Kit #'s of the program members are variously shown under the column's labeled Gen 0 through Gen 3. This is because there are four living generations participating in the project. The following would be the number of generations Aaron Stark lived before the members: 12 generations before those listed under Gen 0; 11 generations before those listed under Gen 1; 10 generations before those listed under Gen 2; and 9 generations before those listed under Gen 3.

The Panels/Mismatches column reports the Panel haplotypes that were reported for the Member in that row and the number of mismatches over each Panel — relative to the Ancestral Haplotype. The 'ID" column assigns a letter code to each row for the purpose of discussion when making genetic comparisons. [Comparison of A to B for example.]

When reading from left to right, each row will eventually encounter a common ancestor associated with a member in an adjacent row. For example, A and B have a common ancestor named Moses, reported in the Gen 6 column. A, B, and C have a common ancestor named Jonathan J., reported in the Gen 7 column. This continues to occur reading left to right until Gen 12 — where Aaron I is reported to be the common  ancestor  of all of the members.

The number of Unique Transmission Events (Births) in a generation can be found under the Gen number for that column. A UTE occurs when the Y-DNA of the Father is transmitted to his son. In each generation, the total births are the sum of all of the individuals listed in that Gen column. The total number of Births reported in Gen Columns 0 through 11 are presented in the Gen12 column. For the purposes of this discussion, the persons reported in the Generation 11 column are "Genealogical Branch Progenitors." 

William Stark (Senior) [1664-1730] is the progenitor of the branch consisting of his descendants with this background color. Aaron Stark II [1654-1701] is the progenitor of the branch consisting of his descendants with this background color. The common ancestor of all of the members, Aaron Stark I [1608-1685], is presented in the Gen 12 column.

Table 1 identifies a set of unique H12 Haplotypes. H12-1 is the most common haplotype and also is the same as the H12 Ancestral Haplotype. All members having H12-1 were a perfect match to each other and exhibited no mutations.1

 

 

________________

1)

The time predictor used for all of the comparisons is furnished by Family Tree DNA and referred to as FTDNATiP™. The FTDNATiP™ results are based on the mutation rate study presented during the 1st International Conference on Genetic Genealogy, on Oct. 30, 2004. The probabilities calculated take into consideration the mutation rates for each individual marker being compared. For more information, click HERE.

 

H12-1:

Comparisons to each other results in a 87.07% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The Members with H12-1 descending from William Stark are: A, B, C, C1, D, E, E1, E2, G, H, I, J1, K. L. M, N, N1, N2, O. The Members with H12-1 descending from Aaron Stark II are: P, Q, T & S3. H12-1 agrees with the Ancestral Haplotype

H12-2:

Comparisons to those having H12-1 results in a 60.99% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The Members with H12-2 descending from William Stark are: F. Members with H12-2 descending from Aaron II are: R, S. This genetic comparison yields a probability that is insufficient in value to determine the relatedness of the H12-1 Members to the H12-2 Members. When H12-2 members are compared to each other, there is a 87.7% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations.

H12-3:

Comparisons to those having H12-1 results in a 57.13% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The Member with H12-3 descends from William and is: J. This genetic comparison yields a probability that is insufficient in value to determine the relatedness of the H12-1 Members to the H12-3 Member. When compared to those having H12-2, there is a 29.09% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations.

H12-4:

Comparisons to those having H12-1 results in a 57.79% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The Member with H12-4 descends from Aaron and is: S1. This genetic comparison yields a probability that is insufficient in value to determine the relatedness of the H12-1 Members to the H12-4.

H12-5:

Comparisons to those having H12-1 results in a 59.49% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The Member with H12-5 descends from Aaron and is: S2. This genetic comparison yields a probability that is insufficient in value to determine the relatedness of the H12-1 Members to the H12-5.

H12-6:

Comparisons to those having H12-1 results in a 57.13% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations. The Member with H12-6 descends from William and is: M1. This genetic comparison yields a probability that is insufficient in value to determine the relatedness of the H12-1 Members to the H12-6 Member. When compared to those having H12-2, there is a 29.09% probability they share a common ancestor who lived within the last 20 generations.

   

 

While there is sufficient genetic evidence to establish relatedness in comparisons within each of the H12 haplotypes, the comparisons of H12-1 to H12-2, H12-3, H12-4, & H12-5 cannot resolve relatedness between these members without additional genetic data. Nor can comparisons of H12-2, H12-3, H12-4, and H12-5 to each other resolve relatedness between these Members. However, genetic results over the H25 and H37 haplotypes will later determine F, R, J, S, S1, and S2 are related to those members having H12-1.

Future participants genetically tested having the surname Stark and having H12-1 — most likely will be descendants of Aaron Stark [1608-1685]. New members joining the program having H12-2, H12-3, H12-4, H12-5, & H12-6 could also be descendants of Aaron Stark [1608-1685]. However, it is suggested new members having these Haplotypes upgrade their test to include the Panel 2 DYS Markers (13 through 25) to confirm their relatedness to members tested over these additional Markers.

 

H12 Haplotype Life Expectancy Calculations  (Markers 1 thru 12) [See Appendix 2]

The genealogical data suggests there were 190 Births (UTE transmissions). H12 is a 12 marker haplotype over Panel 1. Members R & S had allele values of 12 at DYS-393. Both are descendants of Ebenezer Starks (Gen 5). Therefore, by triangulation, Ebenezer had the allele value of 12 at this marker. Because Ebenezer is the common ancestor of both, this counts as 1 mutation at DYS-393 relative to the Ancestral Haplotype --- because Ebenezer Starks was the common source of the allele value of 12 for Members R & S. Member F has an allele value of 12 at DYS-393 resulting in a 2nd mutation at DYS-393. Referring to Table 1, Member J has an allele value of 11 at DYS-439; resulting in a third H12 haplotype mutation. Member S1 has an allele value of 11 at DYS 385a; resulting in a fourth H12 haplotype mutation. member S2 has an allele value of 30 at DYS 389-2 resulting in a fifth H12 haplotype mutation. 

In the H12 Haplotype, there were six observed mutations. Solving equation (1) for K=6; B=215; and M=12:

R=K/B*M=6/215*12=6/2580=(.00232) = the  mutation rate based on the total observed mutations in the H12 haplotypes

Solving for Appendix 2 equation (3):

(Average Life Expectancy of H12 Ancestral Haplotype) =1 / [1 - (1 - 0.00232)12]= approximately 46.29 generations.

If equation (3) is solved using the FTDNA average assumed mutation rate of (0.002) — the resulting number of generations will be 41.2. The member data will result in a H12 mutation rate that is approximately the Standard mutation rate of 0.002.
