SNP Tests results for Group 1 (kit # 17482) are "M207+ M173+ M343+ P25+ M269+ M126- M153- M160- M18- M222- M65- M73- SRY2627-". Positive on M269 indicates haplogroup R1b1c .
Haplogroup R1b1 is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype.(source: Family Tree DNA)
Joseph Rutledge, Sr. (1749 - 1832) is the MRCA for kit # 4495 and kit # 4525.
John Rutledge (1794 - 1872) is the MRCA for kit # 4059 and kit # 7709.
Kit #4750 has traced his lineage back to County Tyrone, Ireland in 1815. This might indicate that some of the other members of group 1 have ancestors from Ireland. ( my theory)
Kit #5486 has traced his lineage back to England in 1645. This might indicate that some of the other members of group 1 have ancestors from England. ( my theory)
Kit # 65303 is related to the brothers Edward Rutledge, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and John Rutledge, a signer of the United States Constitution.
