Test 46
John Lehman in Butler Co., OH, b. abt. 1810, is the earliest known ancestor in this family. There are nine common markers with
Test 94 and all match. This test would have to be expanded to more markers before we can rule in or out a
relationship but a match, even at only 9 markers, suggests one.

Family I
Test 60
A participant who resides in Bern, Switzerland has not traced his ancestry, but his family, as far into the past as he is aware, lived at Arni, near the town of Biglen in the Swiss Emmental. His
ten-marker result is not close to any other. It is possible that no members of this family were early immigrants to the New World. Conversely, it is possible that some of those early immigrants, descendants of whom have not yet been found and tested, were
relatives of this participant.
Family I.1
Test 79
This family, based on historical research, was believed to be
related to William Lemonds, b. abt. 1744 of Troublesome Creek, Rockingham
Co., NC. Further, that Rockingham Co., NC family, based on early Tests
26 and 27, tests of limited scope, was believed to be related to
Family A.2. We still don't know whether the Rockingham Co. Family is related
to Family A.2, , but we do now know, by reason of this 67-marker test, that
this Family I.1 is not related to the Rockingham Co., NC family. It is
Haplogroup R-M269,
matching surnames on the FTDNA database suggest, but by no
means prove, that the family came from Scotland.

Tests 50 and 51
Abraham Leming appears on the Greene Co., TN 1850 U. S. Census as Abraham Lemmons, household # 163-295, age 86, b. in Virginia 1763 or 1764. The possibility is strong that Abrahams age is substantially overstated on the 1850 census. He is probably not an immigrant himself and is a bit later than most of the others whom we have analyzed. Considerable effort has been applied to Abrahams line, however. This came about partly as a result of his line being easily confused with that of David Lamon of adjacent Washington Co., TN, Family A.1,
Test 57. David had a son, Abraham, named in his will. There remain uncertainties about Abrahams age, when he arrived in the upper East Tennessee area and, of course, we know nothing of his ancestors.
Results 50 and 51 are identical at ten markers.

Tests 55, 82, 85, 153 and 164
Hans Lehman arrived aboard the James Goodwill 30
Sep 1727. It was the first ship carrying
a Lehman immigrant into the port of Philadelphia for which a passenger list was recorded and preserved. Based on that fact, many an inexperienced
Lehman researcher has erroneously assumed that Hans was that researchers immigrant ancestor. He was a German-speaking Mennonite and became a Bishop in the Hernley Mennonite Church in Lancaster Co., PA.
It is said that he was from Canton Schlaufhausen, Switz. All
known descendants, to the fourth generation, are chronicled in Ch. 11 of Lehman,
Layman Genealogy Handbook. The Haplogroup is I-M170.

Family M
Test 177
This family traces its
ancestry to an Adam, b. c. 1745 in Pennsylvania. That Adam was believed to
be the Adam of Family Q who was born about the same time.. The test
results, however, do not match our four existing Family Q tests. We will
proceed on the theory, until evidence to the contrary appears, that we have
the wrong Adam and this family descends from a previously unidentified
immigrant.

Family N
Test 180
The ancestral line is
believed to trace
to Johann Gottfried Lehman who arrived in Philadelphia aboard the Snow
Louther on 14 Oct 1731The test result has no match in the Lehman
Project. It falls into Haplogroup J-M172 which is found most often in the
northern Middle East, west of the Zagros Mountains in Iran to the
Mediterrean Sea.
Family O
Test 67, 69, and 130
The results are all
identical at 12 markers. The only one of the first three to be tested to more than
12 markers is Participant 69 and he is not a match for anyone in the
Lehman project. Until we have more comprehensive tests of Participants 67
and 130, we cannot be sure whether either of the three is related
to another. Neither can we rule
out either or all three being related to Family A 3. Because
of the non-match at 37 markers, we can rule out Participant 69 being
related to Family O 1, but cannot rule that out for Participants 67 and
130. Based on the perfect matches at 12 markers and indications along
the paper trail of a relationship, we tentatively group these three together.
Test 67
The ancestors of Participants
67 and 69 are traced to Canton Bern, Switz. The Test
67 family has been traced to a Hans Lehmann, b. abt. 1740 at Langnau in
the Swiss Emmental. Unfortunately, Hans has not yet been linked to the
considerable research at Langnau that makes up Ch. 9 of Lehman
Ancestors in the Swiss Emmental before Emigration. The immigrant
was Christian, b. 15 Jan 1805 in Corgemont, Switz.

Nov 1935 in Adams Co.; d. 13 Sep 2002 in Melbourne, Brevard Co., FL. The participant who
produced Result 67 is descended from Edgar and Inez.
Test 69
The participant is descended from Hans Lehman, b. abt. 1740 and d.
abt.1810. He lived in the Jura area of Canton Bern. The Jura was often a
temporary haven for Swiss Mennonite refugees and it has been speculated that
his ancestors were fugitives there from somewhere else, most likely the
Emmental. Again, however, the family has not been linked to research in
Swiss parish church records detailed in Lehman Ancestors in the Swiss
Emmental before Emigration.

6. Lewellyn Lehman, b. abt. 1905. The participant who generated Result
69 is descended from Lewellyn.
Test 130
At 12 markers this result matches both
Family O and O.1, but non-matches at 37 markers tell us that the two
families are unrelated. Thus he cannot belong to both. A simple expansion of
the test would answer the question. The line is traced by the participant
to the immigrant, Abraham, gen. 5. Generations one through four are taken
from David Habeggers Lehman Families of Langnau, Switzerland.
David Habegger, who has two different Lehman ancestors related to Family O,
suggests that gen. 2 below, Peter, b. 17 Jun 1736, may be a brother
of Ulrich, who is Gen.1 of the Test 67 line.

Family O.1
Results
78 and 88 differ by only two changes in 67 markers. They are
produced by close relatives. Participants
88 and 123 have a proven common ancestor. Chances appear to be good that
Peter, b. abt. 1795 of Test 78 and Tobias, b. abt. 1788 of Tests 88 and 123
are brothers. Further fair speculation is that this immigrant
ancestor arrived through the port of New York; not Philadelphia as did most
of our early Lehman ancestors.
There
may be a relationship between Family O.1 and one or both of Participants
17 and 22, presently constituting Family A.3. There is a
difference of one change over the nine common markers.

These participants are proven by conventional research to be descended from Peter Lehman, b. abt. 1702, died in 1748 and whose will is recorded in

Test 74 is a 25-marker FTDNA test. The Test 58 and Test 74 participants have a proven common ancestor, the Peter who d. in Lancaster, PA in 1748.
Result 58, a ten-marker Oxford test, showed one change from the standard Family A.2 result, thus misleading us into believing that this line was related to Family A.2. The more comprehensive
Test 74 of a proven relative dispels that notion. A retest of Result 74 proves that there is no error. This family is unrelated to Family A.2.
Test 93
The participant is a resident of Steffisburg, Switz. His line is Steffisburg Family 2 and is traced in Ch. 6 of
Lehman Ancestors in the Swiss Emmental before Emigration from the beginning of Kirchebuch records at Steffisburg to his most recent
ancestor as appears below. At 37 markers, he differs from
Result 74 by only three changes. Utilizing the Walsh formula, this extrapolates into a chance of a common ancestor within 12 generations of 75.68 percent; 16 generations of 90.75 percent. See Appendix for exact values. The direct
line is:

In examining all descendants of Martin Lehman and Barbli Hebysen, we find a baptism record of a Peter Lehman, b. 19 Dec 1690 whom we can connect to no adult records. He could have died before maturity or he may be a Peter who appears as an adult in another parish. On the other hand, while by no means proven to a certainty, he may be
Participant 58, 74 and Howard Lehman Spessards immigrant ancestor.
Family Q
Tests 89,103,128,162 and 166
It
is apparent that we have been guilty of perpetuating a significant
error of long standing in this family. 1t had become established that Jacob who arrived on
the Brothers 16 Sep 1751 brought a wife and children; now established as
Family Q. Those children have been accompanied by precise birth dates for
baptism in the Palatinate. We have now turned up in the records of the Bergstrasse Lutheran Church,
Ephrata Tsp., Lancaster Co., PA those
identical birth dates for children with identical names . These people with baptism records in
Lancaster Co. before the arrival of the Brothers cannot have
immigrated on the Brothers and cannot be descendants of Jacob who
did. This error may have its origin in the 1980s in Logsden, Laurine Mae
Palmerton , Layman- Lehman Records and Lines. Baptisms clearly of
record in Pennsylvania have been carried as being in Europe. The Jacob on
the Brothers is not proven to relate to Family Q and we are
apparently left without a test of a descendant of him.
What we do have is five tests
that match genetically with no historical connection between any of the
five.
..1. Jacob Layman, b. abt . 1718. This estimated birth date is based on his
baptizing 4 children in Lancaster Co. bet 1742-1750. Odds are that he was an
immigrant and arrived in Philadelphia before preservation of ships lists
began in 1727. The records of the Bergstrasse Lutheran Church, Ephrata Tsp., Lancaster Co., PA
where he baptized four children do not show the name of the mother so his
wife's name is not known.
....2. Jochin Lorenz Lehmann, b. 27 Aug 1742 in Baden-Durlach. He immigrated as a child with his parents aboard the
Brothers, arriving at the port of Philadelphia on 16 Sep 1751.
....+Sara Grooms b. abt. 1744 in Germany

Test 103
It is a 37-marker test and is a match for
Test 89
at the 12 common markers. Participant 89 is traced to Jochin Lorenz Lehman, b.
27 Aug 1742. Research traces the
Test 103 line to a William Henry Layman who was previously
believed to be the son of Daniel, b. abt. 1808

Family S
Tests 95 and
96
Two residents of Richterswil, near Zurich, Switz. participated. They suspected that they might be related to one another but had no knowledge as to how. Inasmuch as they are members of an old Richterswil landowners society (Allmendkorporation) their families must hive lived there
since at least
1601. Accordingly, a common ancestor would have been earlier than that. At 12 markers, they were identical to one another and were a perfect match for
Test 76. Participant 76 is a descendant of the authors great-grandfather, Prestons older brother, Jacob. With eager anticipation,
Test 95 was expanded to 37 markers. Sadly, at 37 markers, Result 95 differs from
Result 76 by a whopping nine changes. That extrapolates to no significant relationship and stands as still another reminder that
10 and 12-marker tests simply arent always reliable. The foregoing tells us that, since we have no match for the Richterswil participants, probably no member of this family was an early immigrant.
Family T
Test 98
The participant has traced his ancestors
to the LaMont Clan. No further information was provided. There are no
matches with anyone with the surname "Lehman" by any spelling.
Most matches are about equally divided between Findlay, Washington and
Wylie. The Haplogroup is R-M269, the same as many Swiss.
Family V
Test 101
The participant is a resident of Dudingen, Canton Freiburg, Switz. He has no knowledge that his forefathers ever lived anywhere else but traces his ancestors only to his grandfather. There is no match, again pointing to the likelihood that there was no member of this family who was an early immigrant.

Family W
Tests 18, 63, 70, 105, 129 and 141
As will appear, four of the six participants
represented by these tests have traced their ancestors to a Jacob Lehman, b.
1764 in Frederick Co., MD. This is the line of Laurine Mae Palmerton Logsden
who published Layman-Lehman Records and Lines in the 1980s. Tests
105 and 129, at all 12 common
markers, are precise matches for Tests # 63 and 70, both present-day
residents of the Swiss Emmental. The ancestors are Langnau Family 4 as it is
documented in Lehman Ancestors in the Swiss Emmental before Emigration.
We can interpret this to constitute
convincing evidence that this family's ancestors are Langnau Family 4 and were
probably part of the late 17th Century
flight of Swiss refugees, many of whom followed the now-familiar pattern of
finding a temporary stopping-off place in Alsace or the Palatinate before
coming to the New World. We need to expand the test of at least one of the Swiss matches
to rule out a false positive due to only 12 common markers. From all appearances, we have another family connected by DNA tests to Swiss
Emmental roots.

Families Z
Some test results do not match results of
any other test or, in some cases, other tests generated by one or more individuals proven to have descended from a believed common ancestor.
As to some, the posibility exists that we are dealing with a descendant of a
previously-undocumented immigrant. The explanation may be am adoption, name change, false paternity, etc. In other words, the individual tested may not be
genetically descended from the ancestor that he believes himself to be descended from. See the About DNA Testing page for further discussion of this subject. Some of those results we will designate as Category Z. For the exact scores at all markers tested, see the Appendix page.
Family Z.1
Test 160
The earliest known ancestor may be a late 18th Century immigrant. The Haplogroup is
R-M512.
..1. Frederick Layman, b. abt. 1786 in Europe
.2. Wilson Layman, b. abt. 1811 in Pennsylvania
3. Wilson Layman, b. abt. 1849 in Pennsylvania

Robert.
Family Z.2
Tests 99, 102 and 116
These
3 tests have all been expanded to
37 markers and are confirmed as close cousins.
These
participants trace their ancestry respectively to a Jacob Lemon and a Thomas Jefferson Lemon, both of whom were raised in Botetourt Co., VA
as sons of Frederick Lemon, b. abt. 1757 and his wife, Mary Seh. Frederick's
line is Family C. 1 and the two do not match genetically. Additionally,
information supplied by Jacob's son, Jacob, b. 1834, on the elder Jacob's
death record names the elder Jacob's parents to have been a yet unidentified
"John and Betsy." Haplogroup is
R-M269. The lines of descent are:
..1. Jacob Lemon, b. 1793 in Botetourt Co., VA
..+Mary Wier Crawford, b. abt. 1795 in Botetourt Co.
....2. William H. Lay Lemon, b. 1833; d. 1865

Families
Z.4 and Z.5
Tests 109 and 110
These participants are nephew and uncle. Their line has been convincingly
traced to John
Layman, b. 1824 to 1826 in Sevier Co., TN.
His family appears
on the Sevier Co., TN 1850 U. S. Census, household # 141. He is
almost surely of Family A. 1. The two tests not only do not match Family A.
1 but they do not match one another nor any other test to date. The direct
line is:
..1. John Layman, b. bet. 1824 - 1826 in Sevier Co., TN; d.
03 Dec 1869 in Sevier Co.
.. +Virena Thurman, b. 1826; d. 04 Jan 1911 in Sevier Co.

24 Jul 1921 in Sevier Co.

1958 in Knox Co., TN

......3. John Wesle Lehman, b. Nov 1901; d. 1977
........4. John Wesley Lehman, b. 21 May 1921; d. 30
Jun 2000. A descendant produces Result 134. It has no match. We may
have here descendants of a yet-undocumented immigrant. Conversely,
the more likely explanation may be an adoption, etc. The
haplogroup is E-M78
Family
Z.7
Test 161
The participant traces his line with certainty only to
Harvey G. Lehman, b. 1871. The result does not match any other in the
study. The family is tentatively designated Family Z.7. FTDNA designates it
Haplogroup R-M269. It cannot be ruled
out that he is descended from one of the early 18th Century immigrant of whom we have heretofore been unable to identify a
descendant. There are still forty or so out there.
A recently
surfacing family story explains the mis-matching score by a workplace rape
resulting in gen.2.

+Flo Markley, b. abt. 1920. Participant 161 descends frm
Harvey and Flo.
Family
Z.8
Test 147 and 182
Both the test
result and the historical research of these participants match. They descend
from two different sons of Henry and Elizabeth Cretsinger. The results
matche, at the 10
common markers Tests 28 and 30. The Test 28
participant, however, traces his line to John of Rockingham Co., NC, as does
Participant 140 who has tested sufficient markers and Test 147
and 182 do not match Test 140. Accordingly, we can rule out Participant
147 and 182 being descended from or related to Rockingham Co., NC John. We
cannot rule out Participant 147 and 162 being related to Participant 130
. We will, pending exploration of a relationship with Test
30, tentatively designate Test 147 and 182 as Family Z.8; Haplogroup
R-M269.
