Subject: [BARTLETT] BARTLETT BERKLEY link established with DNA
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:19:18 -0400


Very exciting news for many BARTLETTs and BERKLEYs - we now have 24/25
matching DNA results:

One from William BERKLEY b 1690 of Westmoreland and Loudoun Co, VA through
his son Benjamin BERKLEY

Another from William BERKLEY b 1690 of Westmoreland and Loudoun Co, VA
through his son William BARTLETT/BERKLEY



William BARTLETT/BERKLEY d 1804 in Loudoun Co, VA - most of his children
went to KY and in the census records from 1810 to 1840 they gradually
changed their surname from BARTLETT back to BERKLEY/BERKELEY. One of
William's sons, Garner/Gardner, however, went to Berkeley/Frederick Co, VA
and then to Botetourt/Montgomery Co, VA (many descendants still in Floyd Co,
VA; some to Warren Co, IN) - this line retained the surname BARTLETT.



If there are any BARTLETTs from Garner's line; or any BERKLEY/BERKELEYs from
VA roots, you can not verify descent from this line with a matching DNA
test.



I have some info on this line, in a Word document, if anyone is interested
in receiving a copy.
