	Based on these results, the statistically likely result in that Elemuel's Genetic Ancestor is a Thompson. Indeed, in looking in Giles County, Virginia, there are no Dodds, no Calverts, and no Milburns, but there are Thompsons, which lends some weight to this hypothesis.		Based on these results, the statistically likely result in that Elemuel's Genetic Ancestor is a Thompson. Indeed, in looking in Giles County, Virginia, there are no Dodds, no Calverts, and no Milburns, but there are Thompsons, which lends some weight to this hypothesis.


			=Census Records=
			Since Elemuel was born in 1834, we need to try to narrow down which Thompson may be his father. If we assume that his father was already living in Giles during the 1830 census there are 2 Thompsons to consider:

			1. Samuel Thompson - Aged: 30-39 <br>
			Samuel is in his 30s, and is married and has 2 sons and 5 daughters.

			2. Andrew Thompson - Aged: 20-29 <br>
			Andrew is in his 20s, and is married and has 1 daughter.

			If we assume that Elemuel's father moved to Giles after the 1830 Census and stayed in the county then we also need to consider the 1840 census as well. In that census we have:

			1. Samuel Thompson - Aged: 40-49 <br>
			This is the same Samuel from the 1830 census. He now has 4 sons and 5 daughters.

			3. Joshua Thompson - Aged: 20-29 <br>
			Joshua is in his 20's, married, and has 3 daughters.

			4. William Thompson - Aged: 40-49<br>
			William is not in the 1830 census, but he is married and has 1 son and 3 daughters.

			5. Benjamin Thompson - Aged: 80-89<br>
			Benjamin is not in the 1830, but he is married and has 3 women living in his house. Benjamin's wife is aged 60-69, and the youngest woman is aged 5-9, so unless his wife had a child in her late 50's or early 60's, then this child is not his.

	The above image is the excerpt from the 1850 Giles County, VA Census. "W. Clyburn" is listed on the first line, age 57. Underneath him is "Christian Croy", aged 50. This is Christina Croy. Directly under her is listed "Samuel B.", aged 16, working as a Farmer on William's farm. Now, we were working backwards and later in life Elemuel's last name is Clyburn, just like William. However, on the census records it is understood that any children listed without a surname have the same surname as the preceding adult. Hence, it really says "Samuel B. Croy". Likewise, his sister, Sarah, is also a Croy.		The above image is the excerpt from the 1850 Giles County, VA Census. "W. Clyburn" is listed on the first line, age 57.

To date, no one has been able to locate any birth records for Elemuel or his sister Sarah, so there's no birth certificate to reference with the father's name on it. Searches were conducted for both Elemuel Croy (Since his name appears as Elemuel in later documents) and also for Samuel Croy (since that is how he first appears in the records), but no results are found for either search.

	Johnathan has since taken over the Y-DNA Surname Study and we know two things from the complete data-set. The descendants of the Uncles of William Clyburn all have DNA that is congruent to each other and to the old Westmorland Modal sample. This means that those people are all definitely descended from each other and share a common ancestor that originated in Westmorland.

	The only definitive way to tell for certain which of these two hypothesis is correct is to do more Y-DNA Testing. William Clyburn was previously married and had a son named Addison Clyburn. William and his wife divorced in the 1840s and the mother took Addison across the state to live with her family. Later descendants of Addison moved down to Missouri, where they live today. In theory, if a male descendant of Addison has Y-DNA that matches the rest of the Westmorland group, this would confirm that William is the son of Thomas & Louisa. Unfortunately, Addison's male line is now extinct; no living male descendants of Addison exist. There are still living descendants of Addison, but ~~they~~ had a lot of women who cannot take the Y-DNA test.

	With no way to prove the ancestry definitively, we are left to make the best educated guess possible determining all of the relevant facts and information. Based on all of these facts, which I will lay out in the subsequent sections, my professional opinion is that Hypothesis 1 is the most statistically likely; William is the son of Thomas & Louisa, but not the genetic ancestor of Elemuel.

Based on all of these facts, which I will lay out in the subsequent sections, my professional opinion is that Hypothesis 1 is the most statistically likely; William is the son of Thomas & Louisa, but not the genetic ancestor of Elemuel. The rest of the data presented herein will operate on the assumption that Hypothesis 1 is the correct one, unless otherwise explicitly stated.

			=DNA Results=
			Although Johnathan has completed both a Y-DNA test and an Autosomal DNA test, the data was not useful. The initial Y-DNA test was only a 25-marker test and only revealed a single match at 25-Markers. This match had a MRCA that lived 300 years before and the match's family never lived in the United States. There were no known persons with that match's surname in the vicinity of Christina Croy, so it was a dead end.

			The Autosomal DNA was worse. The results yielded many matches, but we were looking for some unknown 5th Cousins. Unfortunately, none of the DNA sites that the test results were uploaded to (Ancestry, MyHeritage, Family Tree DNA) provided any useful or meaningful way of sorting and filtering the results, so it was death by too many matches. Johnathan also had access to his father's test results, and performed the same tests there, but 4th cousins were still too many to work with. Johnathan's Grandfather and his great-uncle are the only ones left who could do a DNA test that would prove useful, but both have declined.

			In Jul 2023 Johnathan upgraded his Y-DNA test from the 25-Marker test to the 37-Marker test. The results came back on 4 August and revealed much new information. At the 37-Marker range there were 18 matches to explore.

			1. Shafer - There is a single match to Shafer with a genetic distance of 3. When looking through the Shafer DNA results I am unable to ascertain which of the 350 members it is that FTDNA is reporting as match. The one member who seems like they should be a match based on the results has more than 3 markers difference.

			2. Meggison - There is a single match to Meggison with a genetic distance of 4. There is no Meggison Y-DNA group project, so there is no way to compare the DNA results directly, but this result seems safe to rule out as this match has a linked tree and during the 19th Century they were living in Prince Edward Island, Canada, having migrated there directly from England. That precludes them directly from being Elemuel's direct genetic ancestor, and as you will see, there are more promising results yet.

	=Family=		3. Crrawford - There is a single match to Crrawford with a genetic distance of 4. Although this match does match some important markers, I am regarding him as an outlier because he does not the bulk of the Crrawford DNA samples, suggesting that he may be in a similar situation.

			4. Dodds - There is a single Dodds match that has a genetic distance of 3. He is a promising match and undoubtedly shares a MRCA at some point in the past, but like some of the others, he is an outlier within the Dodds group and doesn't match any of them, which is suggestive that he might not be a Dodds.

			That concludes all of the single-person matches. The rest of the results are in groups of more than 1 person who share a surname or a variant.

			5. Calvert - Interestingly, this is one of the original families that Dr. Waldrop had initially suggested, but in talking with the Calvert Y-DNA Administrator, it seems unlikely. Although there is a match in the study with a distance of 4 steps, this match does not match any other known Calverts. As of this writing there are 374 Calverts, and the only other person to match this Calvert is the next result, but he's not in the study. In any event, 2 of 347 doesn't make a strong case for connection. This Calvert seems to be an outlier.<br>
			6. Colvert - This family is included in the Calvert Y-DNA study, but this specific participant is not, so I have no way to compare his specific markers. FTDNA reports a genetic distance of 4.

It is useful to uncover the identity of the Genetic Ancestor because that information can help their descendants know if they are potentially at risk for rare health conditions that may be passed on genetically.

	~~=Hypothesis 1=~~		Initially I had thought that Christina was a widow, but I cannot find any marriages in any of the surrounding area that fit this idea. Furthermore, I compared the Y-DNA sample against known Croy samples and they do not match either. This effectively eliminates any possibility that Lemuel was the son of an unknowm Croy.
	~~This family's genetic ancestor remains~~ a ~~mystery at~~ this ~~point~~. ~~On paper~~, ~~Elemuel~~ - or Lemuel ~~as he is listed in about half the records - initially appears to be~~ the son of ~~William Clyburn and Christina~~ Croy ~~of Giles County, VA~~. ~~However, DNA analysis reveals this~~ to ~~be appatently incorrect. Based on the one data point we have. Descendants of~~ Elemuel ~~B. Cliburn appear~~ to ~~have 13 genetic deviations within~~ the ~~first 37 Y-DNA markers when compared to the Westmorland Family Modal sample. This places their Most Recent Common Ancestor between 50 and 52 generations ago~~.
			I have also not been able to locate any birth records for Elemuel or his sister Sarah, so there's no birth certificate to reference with the father's name on it.


	By the ~~1860 census Lemuel~~ is ~~listed~~ as ~~Lemuel Clybern~~. ~~What had since been discovered~~ is ~~that on~~ the ~~1850 Giles County Census everyone~~ is ~~living~~ in the ~~house~~ of William ~~Clyburn~~. ~~The census records show Christina Croy~~, ~~Lemuel Croy~~, and ~~Sarah Croy~~. In the ~~1840 Giles County Census~~, ~~Christina Croy~~ is ~~living as~~ the ~~head~~ of ~~her own household with her two kids~~.		=Hypothesis 1 & 2=
			Johnathan has since taken over the Y-DNA Surname Study and we know two things from the complete data-set. The descendants of the Uncles of William Clyburn all have DNA that is congruent to each other and to the old Westmorland Modal sample. This means that those people are all definitely descended from each other and share a common ancestor that originated in Westmorland.

			There are two possibilities: <br>
			1. William Clyburn is not the genetic father of Elemuel Croy and adopted this young man as his own. <br>
			2. William Clyburn is the genetic father of Elemuel and is not the son of Thomas & Louisa. <br>

			The only definitive way to tell for certain which of these two hypothesis is correct is to do more Y-DNA Testing. William Clyburn was previously married and had a son named Addison Clyburn. William and his wife divorced in the 1840s and the mother took Addison across the state to live with her family. Later descendants of Addison moved down to Missouri, where they live today. In theory, if a male descendant of Addison has Y-DNA that matches the rest of the Westmorland group, this would confirm that William is the son of Thomas & Louisa. Unfortunately, Addison's male line is now extinct; no living male descendants of Addison exist. There are still living descendants of Addison, but they had a lot of women who cannot take the Y-DNA test.

			With no way to prove the ancestry definitively, we are left to make the best educated guess possible determining all of the relevant facts and information. Based on all of these facts, which I will lay out in the subsequent sections, my professional opinion is that Hypothesis 1 is the most statistically likely; William is the son of Thomas & Louisa, but not the genetic ancestor of Elemuel.

	Initially I had thought that Christina was a widow, but I cannot find any marriages in any of the surrounding area that fit this idea. Furthermore, I compared the Y-DNA sample against known Croy samples and they do not match either. This effectively eliminates any possibility that Lemuel was the son of an unknowm Croy.

	~~I have also not been able to locate any birth records for Lemuel or his sister Sarah, so there's no birth certificate to reference with the father's name on it.~~

	I am currently attempting some more advanced researching using genetic testing results in conjunction with other types of research, but the results are ongoing. If you would like to assist with this research, please let me know. If you are a descendant of Elemuel, I implore you to take DNA tests and share that data so that we can prove or disprove the above hypothesis.

	~~=Hypothesis 2=~~
	An alternate hypothesis is the William is the the Genetic Ancestor for Elemuel. There is some paper evidence to support this: William has a brother named Elemuel, whom it appears that his son Elemuel is named after. If other descendants of Elemeul all match each other, then the next step is to go one generation back and check descendants of Thomas & Louisa to see if they match. If they do match, we repeat that process until they don't.

	I have also recently learned that William's first son, Addision, whom he had with his first wife, had descendants that ended up in Missouri. I recently found some of these Missouri Clayborns online and they bear some physical resemblance to the descendants of William. If these Missouri Clayborns are descended from Addison, who's parents are William and Polly, and Elemuel's descendants are from Elemuel, who's parents are an unknown male and Christina Croy, then they would have no genetic ancestors in common and shouldn't bear any physical resemblance to each other at all. The fact that there is resemblance suggests that William is the common ancestor both of these groups and that William may be the one who was adopted. We need a descendant of Addison to do a Y-DNA test to confirm this.

			As of 4 Aug 2023 there has been a major breakthrough in the research for this line in our efforts to uncover the Genetic Ancestor of Elemuel B. Cliburn of Giles County, VA. The data presented herein is still a work in progress and every effort will be made to clearly identify what information is fact, and what information may be speculation.

			=Background=
			In 2005, Dr. Alex Waldrop III approached Johnathan Clayborn via email about participating in the Y-DNA Surname Study to attempt to answer, once and for all, the question of whether or not all Clayborns, regardless of spelling were related. Johnathan agreed and the sample was sent in. The results revealed that Johnathan was an anomaly. Not only did he not match anyone else in the group, the differences in the DNA sequence put his most recent common ancestor (MRCA) back several thousand years, thus precluding him as a Clayborn by genetics.

			There is no doubt of Johnathan's descent from his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, or 2nd great-grandfather as there is a very strong family resemblance. We meticulously checked and rechecked the records, and eventually uncovered our error in Elemuel, Johnathan's 5th Great-Grandfather.
