Dean Surname Y-DNA Project – results

Welcome to those researching the DEAN surname.  The purpose of this project is to facilitate placing orders for Y-DNA test kits to be used by males surnamed Dean and to coordinate the results from those tests.  Using these results may enable us to reinforce or disprove theories regarding our male DEAN ancestors.  We also hope to build a Y-DNA database which will enable us to identify various DEAN ancestral lines.  At present  we have 67 subjects tested - 23 with no matches and 10 groups with two or more matches.  This makes 33 distinctly different genetic lines with the surname Dean or a variation of Dean - amazing!

If you have some knowledge of genealogy and want to learn about using DNA testing in genealogical research, I highly recommend the book Trace Your Roots with DNA by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak and Ann Turner published in 2004 by Rodale Inc.  This book will give you what you will need to know to use this new tool in genealogical research.

If you are interested in ordering a Y-DNA test kit to be used by a male surnamed DEAN, go to the Family Tree DNA order form where you can order a Y-DNA test kit.  If ordered through a surname project, Y-DNA test kits cost $99 for a 12-marker test, $119 for a 37-marker test and $199 for a 67-marker test plus a small shipping fee.  Select the test you want to order and follow the instructions from there.  As a default, I would recommend a 37-marker YDNA test, but there are circumstances that would justify fewer or more markers.  If you have any questions about ordering or using the test kit, please contact me at the e-mail address at the bottom of this page BEFORE you place your order.  I will get back to you as soon as possible.

*   Haplogroups in red have been predicted by FTDNA based on comparison to known haplogroups in
their database; haplogroups in green have been determined by FTDNA using SNP tests.  Note that in
2008 there was a revision of the Y-chromosome Phylogenetic Tree, and the designation of many of
these haplogroups changed at that time.
** also known as DYS 394
†   these results are in the post-5/11/2003 numbering system
DYS in red mutate slightly faster than the other markers according to Family Tree DNA

Conclusions as of July 2009:
(in the same order as above)

 E haplogroup

 Subjects 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1H and 3C share a recent common ancestor with each other but not with any of the other subjects in the surname project.  Prior to these DNA tests, conventional genealogical research indicated that subjects 1B and 1D were descended from Samuel Dean (b. abt. 1751), and that Samuel's father was Richard Deane (b. 1701).  Family historians were uncertain whether the earliest known ancestor of subjects 1C and 1H (John Dean, b. abt 1739), was a son of Richard Deane, but the DNA results strongly indicate that he was.  Some family historians suspected that subject 1E's earliest known ancestor (Thomas Dean, b. 1779), was a grandson of Richard Deane and the DNA tests strongly indicate that he was.  The six tests also confirm that all of the father-son relationships between Richard Deane and the six subjects were true genetic relationships.  See Richard Deane (1701-1788) and His Children for more information on the family of Richard Deane.  See William Dean (abt 1735-1825) of Kentucky for information on the relationship between Richard Deane and Thomas Dean, earliest known ancestor of subject 1E.  See Descendants of John and Ann Dean of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania for information on the ancestors of subjects 1C and 1H.

 I Haplogroup

Subjects 1A, 1G and 1L. FTDNA has determined by SNP test that subject 1A belongs to haplogroup I2b1 and they have predicted that subjects 1G and 1L belong to the same haplogroup.  Based on their 24/25 and 25/25 matches with each other they share a recent common ancestor, William Dean b. 1750-60 which confirms suspected conventional genealogy that George W. Dean and Caleb Dean were brothers.  See The Family of George W. Dean (1786-1856) for more information on the family of George W. Dean.  See Henry Clay Dean Lineage for more information on the family of Henry Clay Dean.  Based on their mismatches with every other subject in the surname project, they do not share a recent common ancestor with any of the other subjects in the surname  project.

Subjects  1J, 2K and 2T.  FTDNA has predicted that these three subjects probably belong to the I1 haplogroup. Based on their 36/37 and 37/37 matches with each other, subjects 1J, 2K and 2T share a recent common ancestor.  Based on their pedigree charts the common ancestor would be Benjamin Deen b. 1762.  Based on their mismatches with every other subject in the surname project, they do not share a recent common ancestor with any of the other subjects in the surname project.

Subjects  1T, 2E and 2F.  FTDNA has predicted that these three subjects probably belong to the I1 haplogroup.  Based on their 23/25 match with each other, subjects 1T and 2E share a recent common ancestor which is the earliest ancestor identified in the two pedigree charts.  Based on their 35/37 match with each other, subjects 2E and 2F share a recent common ancestor which appears to be John Deen, b. abt. 1779 despite the change in surname in the next generation.  Based on their mismatches with every other subject in the surname project, they do not share a recent common ancestor with any of the other subjects in the surname project.

Subjects 2A, 2Q and 3D.  FTDNA has predicted that these three subjects probably belong to the I1 haplogroup.  Based on the 37/37 match of subjects 2A and 2Q and their 36/37 match with 3D, they probably share a recent common ancestor.  It appears from the pedigree information available that Frederick Dean, b. 1787, is probably the father of Peter and Lewis.  The connection with subject 3D probably occurs earlier than the earliest known ancestor of subject 2A.  Note that Shadrick J. Deen is the earliest known ancestor of both subject 3D and subject 2V but that there is a break in subject 2V's male line.  Based on their mismatches with every other subject in the surname project, they do not share a recent common ancestor with any of the other subjects in the surname project.

Subjects 1X, 2R and 3J.   FTDNA has predicted that these three subjects probably belong to the I2b1 haplogroup.  Based on their mismatches with each other and with every subject in the surname project, they do not share a recent common ancestor with each other or with any of the other subjects in the surname project.

 J Haplogroup

Subjects  1V and 1W.  FTDNA has predicted that subject 1V probably belongs to the J2 haplogroup.  FTDNA has determined by SNP tests that subject 1W is in the J2 haplogroup.  Based on their mismatches with each other and with every other subject in the surname project, neither of them shares a recent common ancestor with each other or with any of the other subjects in the surname project.

  R Haplogroup

 Subjects 1Q and 1S.  FTDNA has determined by SNP test that these two subjects belong to the R1a1 haplogroup.  Based on their mismatches in DNA and conventional genealogy they probably do not share a recent common ancestor with any of the other subjects in the surname project.

Subjects 1F, 1N, 1O, 1P, 1R, 1U, 2B,  2D, 2O, 2V, 2W, 2X, 3G, 3H, 3I, 3K and 3N.  FTDNA has predicted that these seventeen subjects probably belong to the R1b1b2 haplogroup.  They probably do not share a recent common ancestor with each other or any of the other subjects in the surname project.  The Dean genealogy of subject 2B is online at "The Descendants of Richard Dean".  Subject 1N is a descendant of the Deans of Dorchester of colonial Maryland.  There is a "Deans of Dorchester" web site on line, but it has not been updated for several years.

Subjects 1U and 3L.  FTDNA has predicted that these two subjects probably belong to the R1b1b2 haplogroup.  Based on their 36/37 match with each other they share a recent common ancestor.  Based on conventional genealogy, their earliest known ancestors were the well-known brothers, John and Walter Dean, of Taunton, MA.  Based on their mismatches with other subjects in the surname project they probably do not share a recent common ancestor with any of them.  Subject 1U is a descendant of the well-known John and Walter Dean of colonial Taunton, Mass.  Some descendants of that John Dean are online at the Dean-Abbot Family on RootsWeb WorldConnect.

Subjects 1I, 2M, 2U, 2Y and 3E.  FTDNA has determined by SNP test that subjects 2M, 2U and 3E belong to the R1b1b2 haplogroup and has predicted that subjects 1I and 2Y probably belong to the R1b1b2 haplogroup.  Subject 3E has the modal value on each of the 37 markers on which all five subjects have been tested.  Subject 2M has one mutation from the modal values, subjects 1I and 2U have two mutations from the modal values, and subject 2Y has three mutations from the 37 modal values.  The mutations between any two of 1I, 2M, 2U and 2Y range from 3 to 5 in 37 markers.  In my opinion, these matches are close enough to indicate a common ancestor among all five subjects, but none is indicated by the pedigrees known to the subjects.  The common ancestor is probably many generations back, possibly before the different ancestral lines migrated to America.  There is an excellent genealogy of the family of subject 1I online at The Dean family of Gainsborough Township, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada.  For a compilation of what is known of the family of subject 2M, see A Second Dean Line.  Based on their mismatches with with every other subject in the surname project, none of them shares a recent common ancestor with any of the other subjects in the surname project.

Subjects 1K, 1M, 2L, 2N, 2P, 2S, 2Z, 3A, 3F and 3O.  FTDNA determined by SNP test that subject 3A belongs to the R1b1b2 haplogroup, and FTDNA has predicted that the other nine subjects probably belong to the R1b1b2 haplogroup.  Nine of ten subjects in this group have now tested on 67 markers.  Based on the small number of mismatches of any of these subjects from the modal values for their group, all ten probably share a recent common ancestor, but only subjects 2Z and 3F have identified a common ancestor based on conventional genealogy.  Subjects 2N and 2S share a mutation on marker CDYb; subjects 1M and 3F share a mutation on marker DYS 557; and subjects 1M and 2N share a mutation on two markers: DYS 444 and the very unusual 3-step mutation on DYS 617.  In each case the shared mutations indicate a closer relationship between those subjects than between them and the other subjects in the group.  In my opinion, the 3-step mutation observed on different markers in the YDNA of subjects 1M, 2N and 3A should be treated as a single mutation for the purpose of determining genetic distance.  These ten subjects probably do not share a recent common ancestor with any other subject in the surname project.  The Dean genealogy of subject 2L is online at Dean/ Deen/ Deens, Bryan, Mills and others on RootsWeb WorldConnect.

Subjects 2H and 2J.  FTDNA has determined by SNP test that both these subject belong to the R1b1b2 haplogroup.  Based on the 24/25 match between them, they probably share a recent common ancestor, but that ancestor appears to be before the conventional genealogy known to either subject.  Based on their mismatches with other subjects in the surname project they probably do not share a recent common ancestor with any of them.

Subjects 1Y, 1Z, 2C, 2G, 2I, 3B and 3M.  FTDNA has predicted that these seven subjects probably belong to the R1b1b2 haplogroup.  The 37/37 matches among subjects 1Y, 2C, 2I and 3M indicate a very recent common ancestor for the four of them.  Conventional genealogy indicates their ancestry probably converges in the Edgefield District, SC.  The 36/37 match between the four of them and subject 3B and the 35/37 match between the four of them and subject 1Z indicate mutations which occurred after subject 3B's and subject 1Z's line branched off.  The 34/37 match between the four of them and subject 2G indicates the common ancestor between the four of them and subject 2G probably occurs further back in time.  Conventional genealogy indicates this may have been in colonial Virginia.  Five subjects have now tested on 67 markers.  Two subjects match 67/67, two have one mismatch on different markers and one has two mismatches on markers different from the others who have tested on 67 markers.  These results continue to indicate a very recent common ancestor among the four of them.  These seven subjects do not share a recent common ancestor with any of the other subjects in the surname project.
