A Brittonic Y-DNA Cluster

"In May 2005, I received my full 37-marker Y-DNA test results. Subsequently,
a sixth cousin with a shared patrilineal fifth great-grandfather showed
similar results. Standard genealogical research traced this Colson patriline
back to early 17th Century Lincolnshire, England. My Colson Y-DNA shows the
closest affinity with a group of McCorkles and Mitchells, both with known
Scottish ancestry. The mystery of this genetic relationship prompted me to
broaden my perspective and consider pre-surname relationships."

"For me, researching my family history is like putting together a
jigsaw puzzle ... a never-ending jigsaw puzzle with a big blue sky. After
being at it for thirteen years, I am now at the point where I am
working on that dreaded, uniformly-colored, blue sky and progress is
painfully slow and arduous. To ease the frustration, I will sometimes
just adopt other families to do some quick research on. This is how I
came to be so involved with one Oscar Ewing born about 1870 in
Maryland, parents unknown."

reviews the recorded origins of the MacEoghainn surname and then

What can Y-DNA tell us about Ewings?
J. Clan Ewing, Vol. 12, No. 3 (August 2006), pp. 10-17.
|
|
"[It] appears that the Ewings' history can be traced back to the
prehistoric hunter-gatherer period in Ireland, they then moved to
Scotland sometime in the first millennium, then moved back
to northern Ireland again in the 17th
Century as Scots-Irish, and then finally shifted to the USA."

"[There] are several problems with [the theory that the Ewing name
is distinctly of Gaelic and clan origin], the first of which is that the pedigree linking the
MacEwens and other clans to the Ui Neill of Ireland is most likely a medieval fabrication;
and secondly the fact that the Ewings do match the NW Irish modal does not necessarily mean
they were descendants of Nial or descended from the Irish O'Neills."

"Seventeen-marker simple tandem repeat genetic analysis of Irish
Y chromosomes reveals a previously unnoted modal haplotype that peaks
in frequency in the northwestern part of the island. It shows a
significant association with surnames purported to have descended from
the most important and enduring dynasty of early medieval Ireland,
the Ui Neill."

This article discusses the
possibility, supported by Y-DNA testing, that Pocahontas James was not
the son of John Ewing of Carnashannagh but that, instead, the son was an
ancestor, James Ewing (born ca. 1720/25), of Jill Ewing Spitler and her
cousins, among them Eleanor Swineford and Betty Whitmer.
