James Mccabe 1844 - Unknown. These several surnames for one DNA line suggest that some time prior to 1800, "misattributed paternity" events (MPE) or "surname discontinuities" (a disconnect between the surname and the Y chromosome) must have occurred, such as in unrecorded adoptions, intentional name changes, mothers using their maiden names for her children, etc. All of the Cabe-named family members in this group have roots in North Carolina or Tennessee. 1856 in Co.

James and Mary (Hughes) McCabe's family probably includes several lines with straight-male line descendants with the name of McCabe. There is a possibility that there is another sequence of Y-DNA markers unique to men who have McCabe ancestry. Subsequently two of these five men (with surnames of Denny and McMannes) have joined this McCabe/Cabe DNA project. There are 217,000 census records available for the last name Mccabe.

Four members of this McCabe Surname DNA Project can now trace their ancestry to James McCabe, born in Ireland, probably in the 1720s. All of his closest matches at 37 and 67 markers have surnames of either Cabe or McCabe. Further, those McCabe Surname DNA group participants (who have a kit number and password) can now go to their own Family Tree DNA personal pages and find matches located on the map, by the following procedure: Under "My Maps" at the left side of your personal webpage, click on "Maps".

His DNA at 12 markers matches the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype (WAMH), the most common Y-DNA signature of Europes most common Haplogroup, R1b, and as such, he has hundreds of matches at the 12 marker level, but none with the McCabe surname. The quote is from the R1b1b2 section of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. At 37 markers he matches 33/37 with DNA from kits 825, 826, and 827 (Group A), kit 11254 (Group D), and Kit 139946, (Group G). Kit 160306. 3 Sept.1799, d. 30.Dec 1878); Lewis Mecabe (b.

The DNA sample from Kit number 75386 has been assigned to haplogroup E1b1b1, whereas all of the other McCabe-named men in this project have a haplogroup designation of R1b (except Kit #148064, Group G, Haplogroup G2a). The surname belongs to a military galloglass family from the Scottish Hebrides apparently a branch of McLeod who were employed and settled in Cavan in the 14th century. [1] However, in Australia, the name McCabe is ranked the 717th most popular surname with an estimated 5,436 people with that name. PROPOSED MODAL HAPLOTYPE FOR THE McCABE/CABE SURNAME DNA: When comparing the results for the first 12 markers in this study, a pattern has developed that many participants in this surname project have the following allele numbers: 13, 25, 14, 11, 11, 14, 12, 12, 11, 13, 13, 31. The oral history and genealogical paper trail for both of them lead back to Henry (or Harry) McCabe (of Westport, Ireland) who died about 1795 in Ireland, and his wife, Jane Barlow.

Oral history suggests (not well-documented) that this Cabe family's origin is in Dublin, Ireland. Since its inception, the McCabe DNA project has had a large number of genealogical Brick Walls that have been shattered with the use of Y-DNA. FTDNA has calculated that the man who provided the DNA for Kit 146133 has a 72% probability of sharing a common ancestor with the two other men (Kits 146733 and 168113) within four generations and an 88% probability of sharing a common ancestor within six generations. Further, FTDNA reports that for marker DYS 385, in addition to the usual two allele values, a (11) and b (14), the DNA from Kit 127552 has a THIRD allele with the value of 14.

The DNA of the provider of the kit matches 35/37 markers with one of the Cabe members (Group G, Kit 139946) and 33/37 markers with six other McCabe project participants, but the common ancestor between him and other participants is most likely to be in Ireland. These Brick Wallchallenges will be briefly described with reference to the appropriate Group and/or Kit numbers so that readers can find the details and the discussion of them in the RESULTS section(see tabat the top of this page).

At 67 markers, kit 106868, amazingly, has a 67/67 match with a man with the surname of Propes (closer than with his documented third cousin, once removed). Lots of families have this name in Inverclyde. An unexpected, yet fascinating result of this study was produced when the provider of kit 99404, who also descends from the Sussex County, Delaware immigrant, John McCabe, had his DNA haplogroup studied to the furthest extent currently possible. Kits 127552 and 147989. For example, for kit #N21369, this mtDNA donor, at location #304 on his mtDNA, has a C (cytosine) instead of whatever nucleotide is in the CRS (A, or G, or T). This John Cabe/McCabe was enumerated on the 1790 census (John McCabe) in Lincoln County, NC and presumably this same John Cabe/McCabe has an 1810 will in Haywood County (far western portion of NC).

There does not appear to be any historical evidence that indicates a relationship of any of these men in Group D with the Owen McCabe family (Group A) since the 1740's in America, but complete information is not available for all participants. The first misattributed paternity event (of unknown type) produced a new DNA line for the McCabe surname so that it is very likely that other McCabes have this same Y Chromosome DNA. The following information comes from the FTDNA Company: Niall of the Nine Hostages received his name from the taking of hostages as a strategy for playing mental havoc upon his opponent chieftains. Retreived from, HMAS Sydney II, Finding Sydney Foundation - Roll of Honour.
