• Notes

  It is a hypothesis that Lydia Mae Armstrong had a child by Richard Lewis Hunter, b. 1785. I have cousin matches with descendants of her and her husband, William Bowen. I have cousin matches with Armstrongs, heer surname. Lydia Mae's ancestors, John Jameson and Jean Erwin, account for quite a few DNA cousin matches that all have anywhere from 1 to 12% of Cameron, Western Bantu African ancestry all pointing back to John Jameson and Jean Erwin. Because my grandfather, William Edward Clark, appears to descend from John Jameson and Jean Erwin on two of his father's sides, many of us cousins have inherited their African ancestry which shows up further back in time than is normal for autosomal DNA matches.
