Benjamin W Elliott - Parentage of Benjamin W. Elliott

There is a DNA marker on the profile.
I am not a fan of disconnecting what others have in their trees especially when DNA is showing.
Maybe ask if someone can share how they come to have them rather than suggest a disconnection?

James Carl Elliott, Sr

yours... have you worked on/with the FtDNA?

Hi Cynthia, My Dad was James Carl Elliott, Sr. and I have no idea how his profile was added under his name considering he passed away in 1990. It's possible it was added by me but don't understand how his name shows as the one who added his profile.

My brother has been tested at the BigY700 level at Family Tree DNA and I manage his tests as well as several other family members. I connected his DNA tests at Family Tree DNA with his profile on Geni. Geni has propagated his test results to all linked males who "could" share the same YDNA based on them being connected in the tree (not from actual compared DNA tests). The only known tested YDNA matches at Family Tree DNA are descendants of Benjamin W. Elliott - my brother and another male both descendants of Thomas Alexander Elliott and another male descendant of Benjamin's son George Columbus Elliott. Neither of them have tested to BigY but results are close at lower levels.

I would love to know how Benjamin W Elliott became connected to Humphrey Elliott but have not found any source listed other than unsourced trees. I think it highly unlikely that he would have 2 sons named Benjamin and Geni shows that as an inconsistency.

There is very little information for Benjamin W. Elliott. He was obviously in Georgia in 1840 based on children's places of birth but I've not been able to locate him. His family is not listed in the 1860 census although he purchased property in Shelby County, Alabama in 1858 where his son Thomas Alexander Elliott married in 1856 and was listed in 1860.

I am just very skeptical that he is the son of Humphrey and Cynthia Elliott.

Yes the Benjamin Elliott born in 1818 is Humphrey and Cynthia Elliott's son according to Quaker records at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015002304221&view=...

Many thanks and Merry Christmas!

Nice work!
Merry Christmas. I took the day off and am pleased to see this. Thank you
I'll look and see if I can add anything to Sarah C Elliott , Benjamin W Elliott wife. I adopted the profiles in 2020 and likely due to a DNA match in the are/an unknown MRCA.

As far as I know, PRICE is GOOD:

Price is maternal. Goes to known Native American line(s)

https://www.geni.com/path/Cynthia-Curtis-A183502-US7875087-Tree-bui... is difficult and is paternal. Honeycutt gets very diverse in the Admixture and paper trails are hard to connect to the correct ones due to repeated names and other reasons... I know of long time Honeycutt researchers who have basically given up. I am too tenacious for that...yet :)

I am so happy to see the DNA connected. I was so very fortunate to have my only Hicks nephew agree to a DNA test and I recently upgraded his Y and tree building here or anywhere else is difficult enough but when folks do not connect their DNA or connect it incorrectly, it can compound an already difficult search.
