Donalson DNA project

MaryLAdams1 — 2006-04-29 14:27:57Z

We are investigating the possibility of starting a DNA project for the
Donelson/Donaldson/Donalson surnames.

Family Tree DNA is our company of choice and all the details are available at their website:

http://www.familytreedna.com

I will coordinate the project and before getting too involved, would like to know the interest level in our surname communities.

I prefer the Y-59 DNA marker test, but would use the Y-37 DNA marker test if this is the one the community prefers.

Please e-mail me at MaryLAdams@comcast.net if you would be interested in participating.

Thank you,

Re: Donalson

I saw your e-mail on the Donalson's. My late hustand's grandfather was Josephus Donalson, born 186l. His father's grand name was Warren F Donalson(5/24/1833) in Decatur Ga., and Warren's wife Was Lucy Bridges Shores. They married 2/28/1853. Their children were: Eliza Donalson, William Mangus Donalson, Lucy Love Donlson and George E. Donalson. Warren Franklin Donalson's father was William S. Donalson, wife-Rachael Bush. If this fits your line, I would very much like to get in contact with you. I am trying to help my stepson find his family tree. My husband was adopted when he was 12 and his name became Barton, and he only wanted to go by Donalson. My husbands father was Don Donalson, who lived in Houston, Texas. I live in Palestine, Texas and would like to find out more information to see if this is the same family. I have just about run into a dead in. you can contact me at jybmaw@earthlink.net. The above e-mail is no more. I would appreciate hearing from you or anyone and I will share what information I have. Thank you, Janice Barton, Palestine, Texas. P.S. His family is from Donalsonville, Ga., Decture, Ga.

nolabertthacker — 2002-02-01 01:11:12Z

Hello,
I'm researching my grandmother. Her name was Mary Alice Donaldson/orDonalson/or Donelson. (I have seen it written all three ways on documents or Bible info.)
She had two children by her first husband before she married my grandfather, Rubin Calvin Dennis. They married in Rowan County, Kentucky in 1896, but later moved to Ashland about 1904.
Grandmother's first two children were Floyd, born about 1891, and Emma, born about 1893. The story was that the first husband was to have testified at a murder trial, but disappeared and was presumed murdered himself.

My grandmother, Mary Alice, married RC Dennis in 1896. On subsequent census, they list the children she had prior to their marriage, under the name of Dennis. I am trying to find out what happened to Floyd and Emma (who I'm guessing had the name of Donalson. They were very young when my grandmother married my grandfather, so they probably thought it would be easier if all the children went by the same last name).

My guess is that Floyd and Emma met and married spouses in Ashland, Kentucky, since I have them on Census up to the age of adults.

Please let me know if any of this fits your Emma.
Thanks,
Nola Thacker
