Edward B. Walker (1756-1838)/comparison

Both lines have been tested and are presented in the Walker YDNA Project result page for FamilyTree YDNA. Each line is represented by 5 or more test results, for which a 37 marker centroid YDNA pattern characteristic of the line as a whole may be described for each group. The accompanying YDNA results for the two "centroid" YDNA results for these two lines. The results show that the two groups differ by 15 markers out of 37. By comparison, all results for the Meadow Creek John Walker line show an average internal difference of 0.83 markers out of 37 (5 markers different in the six lines tested, each line tested for 37 markers). Similarly the much more heavily tested Edward B Walker Group shows an average internal difference of 0.50 markers out of 37 (7 stepwise markers different in the 14 lines tested, each line tested for 37 markers.

The variance with in each group is relativey slight indicateing that the members of each group have a relatively recent MRCA, while the MRCA for the two separate groups is too far back in time for these results to be genealogically meaningful. In otherwords, the two groups are unrelated to each other. Despite the fact that a family belonging to each of these groups- were living in very close proximity to each other on Horse Creek, they had no genealogically meaningful relationship.
