Bobby Cruthirds,

born 20th century

No additional genealogical info is currently available from this participant.

This haplotype's highest match frequencies in YHRD fall in Sweden, Romania, Denmark, Finland, Puglia, Italy (probably Norman) and the Netherlands. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Norway, Sweden and the British Isles. This is most likely of Norse Viking origin.

Out of 12 markers, MVB3M is an exact match with K67WR, DAAME, NPDJX, AHWX2, 6QSZM and 4QGSN - and a close match with several others. This individual falls squarely within the genetic mainstream of our Carruthers data set.

This haplotype's highest match frequencies in YHRD fall in Sweden, Romania, Denmark, Finland, Puglia, Italy (probably Norman) and the Netherlands. This is most likely of Norse Viking origin.

SU5HF shares 29 out of 31 marker values with NPDJX, AHWX2, SQZQ2 and 4QGSN. The largest difference lies in DYS442, which is 17 compared to the usual 12 and may be the result of a mistranscription. Ancestry has no automatic upload to Ysearch, and the values had to be entered manually.

Carruthers With A Northern Germanic I1 Haplotype

This haplotype's only exact match in YHRD falls in Germany, and the top matches in the FTDNA haplogroup database fall in England, Germany and Norway. It is clearly northern Germanic in origin, possibly Norse.

Out of 37 markers, JVUYJ is 2 steps distant from PEYA8, 3 steps distant from K67WR, 4QGSN and M2MT6, and similarly close to several others in this data set. It is clearly related to the genetic mainstream of the clan.

Dumfriesshire,

Scotland

John Carothers,

1725 - 1783

John was one of five brothers and two sisters, all but one of whom emigrated to America about 1740. John himself emigrated by way of Northern Ireland in 1745. He was born in Dumfries, but died in Cumberland Cty., Pennsylvania, where he is buried near Silver Springs Presbyterian Church. He was a veteran of Pontiac's Rebellion, and was a Mason. His father is thought to have been Robert Carothers. After he died, his wife, the former Sarah Neely, moved to Mecklenburg Cty., North Carolina, along with three of their sons. John's twin brother Hugh had already settled in that area.

This haplotype differs from a common "Ultra-Norse" type of I1 through a DYS390 value of 24 rather than 23, which is probably just a local variation. The closest match for this haplotype in the FTDNA Haplogroup database falls in Norway, and additional close matches fall in Russia, Norway, Sweden and throughout the British Isles. This haplotype's highest match frequencies in YHRD fall in Northern Italy and Poland.

This participant matches his first cousin RGUND on all 37 markers, and HJRRK on 32 out of 37 markers. He most likely belongs to the main I1 lineage of the Carothers, Crothers and Cruthirds families.

John Carothers,

1725 - 1783

Cumbria

England

James Carruthers,

1650 - 1730

This branch of the Carruthers family emigrated to America from Ainstable, England in 1832.

Possible Anglo-Saxon I2a Haplotype

This haplotype has been SNP-tested as I2a. Its matches in YHRD fall exclusively in Germany and Austria. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Scotland, Germany and Denmark. This haplotype is most likely of Anglian, Frisian, Danish or Saxon origin.

There are no close matches so far with other Carruthers participants.

Robert R. Carruthers,

born 20th century

This is not an official participant of the Border Reivers project, so additional genealogical info may not be readily available.

Highly Unusual R1b Haplotype

With its DYS19 value of 15 and DYS390 value of 22, this haplotype.is highly unusual for an R1b. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Scotland, the Shetland Isles and Greenland. The only European matches in YHRD fall in Saxony and Northern Portugal, which could indicate a Northern Germanic origin. (Remember - the Suevi, who controlled parts of Portugal from 5th to 7th centuries, were a tribe from Northeast Germany.) The FTDNA matches also suggest a possible Northern Germanic or Scandinavian origin.

There are no close matches so far with other Carruthers participants.

England

Christopher Carruthers,

born ca. 1848

This branch of the Carruthers family was originally from Bishopwearmouth (now Hendon) in Sunderland, County Durham, England. This participant is a resident of Britain. His grandfather Arthur was christened in Bishopwearmouth in 1869, and his father was born in 1907.

Possible Southern European R1b Haplotype

This haplotype is a variant of the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, but it exhibits an unusually low value for DYS385b, which is statistically associated with R1b samples in Southern Europe. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall in Italy, Albania and among Bulgarian Turks, as well as in Iberian samples. Closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in Germany, France and the British Isles. This haplotype could be of Norman, Iberian or Roman origin.

There are no close matches so far with other Carruthers participants.

West Virginia,

United States

Bruce Caruthers,

born 20th century

Mr. Caruthers can trace his patrilineal ancestors as far back as 1780.

Carruthers With Iberian R1b Haplotype

This haplotype differs from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype (WAMH) only in its high DYS385b value of 16. The highest match frequencies in YHRD fall in the Netherlands, Ireland and various Iberian samples. That is typical for an R1b haplotype of indigenous British origin, but an Anglo-Saxon origin is also a possibility. The closest matches in the FTDNA database fall in Germany and Italy, with additional close matches in France, Germany, Iceland, and in all parts of Iberia and the British Isles.

There are no close matches so far with other Carruthers participants.

Scotland

John Carruthers,

1725 - 1783

John's ancestors emigrated from Scotland to Virginia in 1660. They moved to Pennsylvania in 1700, North Carolina in 1760 and 1774, and finally Tennessee in 1790. The participant himself is from the Midwest and bears the surname Carothers.

Carruthers With Unusual R1b Haplotype

This haplotype is extremely unusual, exhibiting both DYS392 and DYS393 values of 14, rather than the modal 13. The closest matches in YHRD are almost exclusively among Baltic and Scandinavian "N" haplotypes, although this haplotype has been SNP-tested as an R1b. Among the closest appropriate R1b matches in YHRD, the highest frequencies occur in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Saxony, Poland and Northern Italy. The closest matches in the FTDNA Haplogroup database fall in England, Ireland and Germany. The DYS390 value of 23, in addition to the geographical match pattern in both databases, suggests an Anglo-Saxon origin.

There are no close matches so far with other Carruthers participants.
