Elizabeth Wright

Sorry this is the correct Elizabeth Elizabeth Wright

She’s not the daughter of Major John Bolling, II. “He had 3 daughters named Elizabeth, all who died young.”

My understanding Is that the DNA match is to descendants of Benjamin Boling. He is also not a descendant of Major Bolling.

I don’t know if the DNA match identifies the correct relationship of Elizabeth to Benjamin? Probably can’t without more detailed analysis.

I still can't find the proof that they died. I used to run the Pocahontas dna project on gedmatch. Now im now im no expert but I know I matched alot of people who claimed to be Descendant. I know im a Descendant of Elizabeth but I know I match some of the Descendants of Benjamin.

Im convinced that her and Benjamin are brother and sister. What of the shared Native DNA of Elizabeth Descendant? Rev. Benjamin Franklin 'Flat Gap' Bolling and Elizabeth Wright I think should be added as brother and sister at least.

There is also the matter of the shared Native American DNA. The only explanation that really makes sense is they are Pocahontas Descendants. I don't see any other possible Native American ancestors.

Also if they are not they should be added to the https://www.geni.com/projects/Bolling-SNP-Studies/48870 perhaps someone could help with that. Also possible help research the family's dna more.

Joseph Putnam, wasnt there a huge dna study done about Benjamin Bolling prior to that book being written? There is a facebook group that discusses all of that...you might want to join.

Ill have to look into that. Thank you.

There are also this gedmatch numbers. I haven't gone through all of them but I match the first 4 and share Native American DNA with them.

My bed match is PT1303860

I also see there is evidence Benjamin was Melungeon. So perhaps thats the explanation for the
Native American DNA. Its kinda confusing with all this conflicting information. I am however convinced based on the evidence of people in this line sharing a common Native ancestor and the book link in the first post we can safely say Benjamin and Elizabeth were brother and sister and they were of mixed ethics heritage.

I would like to suggest we at least link Benjamin and Elizabeth as brother and sister with a note on there mixed ethnic heritage.

We have a small match at 3cm and on chromosome 1 share a small amount of Native American DNA. Also possible on chromosome 18.

I also match Scott Boling at 4cm. I can't tell if we share NA but with several other of Benjamin Descendants I do. This doesn't surprise me as we all get different parts of the dna.

If i lower to 3cm Scott Boling and I share NA on ch 18

Also Charles EDWIN Stinnett and i match at almost 5cm on ch 18 and share Native DNA.

A702699 is one number on the Benjamin Bolling wikitree I match them at 10 cm and share NA on Chromosome 17.

Can someone point me to a source to determine how you identify Navite American heritage when looking at chromosome data? I know that Family Tree has a piece on that, which I still need to read, but it there are other good sources, I would appreciate the insight.

I'm kin to the Bollings. In fact, have been trying to research my Indian roots.

Put link in profiles to each other for Rev. Benjamin Franklin 'Flat Gap' Bolling & Rev. Benjamin Franklin 'Flat Gap' Bolling and both are in the project https://www.geni.com/projects/Bolling-SNP-Studies/48870 (feel free to collaborate on the project, request from the actions menu.)

I hesitate to link as siblings because we don’t know the relationship. Can anyone say definitively they are siblings?

They definitely seem to be related and there Descendants seem to share a common Native American Ancestor. For that to be the case they would have to share a common Native ancestor.

Plus we have a DNA study that is published or at least its findings. Could it be wrong or change over time yes but I think for now it is safe to assume that they are brother and Sister or at least cousins

I don't mind someone else looking into it though. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of gedmatch could take a look.

You’d need an exact study / comparison leading to a conclusion that it’s the only possible relationship and DNA studies don’t work with that degree of precision for at DNA.

(combined with complete trees - see the work of CeCe Moore as example,)

Im going to see if anyone in the Bolling group study can confirm this relationship. Or at least a relationship between the two.
