Notes for Arnold Hethcox
Arnold Hethcox has a Y-chromosome DNA profile that is almost an exact match of the Hathcock/Hathcoat family modal:
https://gap.familytreedna.com/ydna-results-classic.aspxThe Hathcock Y-DNA surname group includes men who can trace ancestry back to Edward Hathcock or Joseph Hathcock, two men who lived near each other in the early 1700s. Descendants of these two men, who could have been brothers or first cousins, differ at one particular Y-DNA allele, called Y-GGAAT-1B07. Descendants of Edward Hathcock have a value of 11 at this allele, whereas descendants of Joseph Hathcock have a value of 12. Arnold’s value at the Y-GGAAT-1B07 allele is 11, so he is a direct male-line descendant of Edward Hathcock
As will be seen by following Arnold’s ancestry in this database, he is a descendant of Benjamin Hathcock, b ca 1742 in VA (see multimedia files for chart). This is a significant finding for Hathcock genealogy because there has been a wide-spread belief that Benjamin was not a biological Hathcock but that his father had been a man named Hamilton or Hambelton.
