Project Background:
Welcome to The Joines/Joynes/Jines DNA Project. The name Joynes/Joines is believed to have originated in Western England or Wales. The first record of a Joines in America was John Joines who Came to the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1638. Edmund Joynes lived on the Eastern Shore in the late 1600's and early 1700's. Some of his descendants still live there. Ezekiel Joines settled in Northwest North Carolina about 1778. Documents have been discovered that indicate Ezekiel came from Delaware or the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Jabez Joines lived in Georgia in the late 1700's. Family names in Georgia lead us to believe there might be a connection with Ezekiel's family. Noah and Joseph Joines settled in Kentucky. Some descendants of this family use the name Jines. Records indicate they came from Georgia. Thomas Joines settled in Tennessee records indicate he came from Maryland. Other Joines Families settled in Tennessee and we don't know where they may have come from. There is a large Joines Family in Texas. There are Joines/Joynes/Jines families all over America. There are Joines/Joynes Families in New Zealand and Australia. There are families in England that use the name Joineson/Joyneson. Are we related? Let's find out.
As long as funds are available, we will be offering a $25 discount toward the purchase of a test kit for any new member to the project. If you are interested in using these funds please contact the group administrator at the email link on the top of the page.
If you are interested in this project and would like to help by making a contribution to the general fund, please click on the " Contribute to the surname project general fund ". This fund will be used to help reduce the cost, of the test, to the participants. All of us are benefiting from the information uncovered by this project. Help us reduce the cost to participating members and hopefully the project will grow faster. Any help would be appreciated. |
Project Goals:
The goals of this project are:
To discover which Joines/Joynes/Jines Families are related.
To break through research roadblocks.
To aid researchers by giving direction on where to focus research. |
Project News:
3/28/2007 Announcing the beginning of the Joines/Joynes/Jines DNA project.
4/2/07 We now have two members participating in the project. One is a descendant of Ezekiel Joines (died 1803 Wilkes Co., NC) from his son Thomas' line. The other is a descendant of Ezekiel from his son Edmund's line.
5/1/07 We now have a third participant in the project. He is a descendant of the George W. Joines family from Tennessee.
5/16/07 The first test results have been returned.
5/30/07 The second test results have been returned. We have a match.
6/3/07 Backbone SNP test has been ordered for the first sample.
6/6/07 SNP test has been ordered for the second sample.
6/8/07 The first SNP test is back. It is a M70 which confirms the prediction of the K2 haplogroup.
6/20/07 The results are in for the test on a descendant of George Joines, from Giles County, Tennessee. We have another match. This test matches the test done on the descendants of Ezekiel Joines.
6/27/07 We now have a 4th member to the DNA project. This member is a Jines and is a descendant of Joseph Joines/Jines and his son Noah. Joseph was born ca 1760-1770 possibly in NC and Noah was born ca 1796 in GA. Joseph settled in Kentucky in the early 1800's. He came from Georgia and is believed to have a connection with the Joines Family in NC.
7/3/07 The results have been returned for the second SNP test. It again confirms the predictions that we belong in the K2 haplogroup.
8/30/07 - The results have been returned for the first 12 markers for the test on the descendant of Joseph Joines/Jines. We have another match 12 for 12 with two other members and 11 for 12 with the other.
9/11/07 - We have a new member to the DNA project. This is the 5th member. This member does not use the Joines surname but as it turns out he is a DNA match with the other members of the Joines project. He was searching for the parents of Henry Bailey, who was possibly born in Giles County, TN in the early 1850's. The family had believed it was possible that Henry was adopted and that Bailey might not have been is father's surname. This descendant had submitted his DNA for testing and it came back that he matched the Joines DNA. There were Joines families in Giles County in the early 1850's. We welcome the Bailey Family to the project and hope that we can help figure out which branch of the family they connect with.
9/12/07 - The results of the 67 marker test have been posted on the first project member. These results are for the descendant of Henry Bailey.
2/19/08 - We have a new member in the project. This project member is a descendant of Edmund Joynes, from the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
4/3/08 - Test results have been posted for the first 12 markers on the descendant of Edmund Joynes. This member is a match with every other member tested to date.
5/5/08 - Familytreedna adopted the 2008 Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic Tree. This changes our haplogroup designation for K2 to T. Nothing changes about what we have learned. K2 has just become T.
5/12/08 - Joyce Joines Newman is named has the co-administrator to the Joines/Joynes/Jines DNA Project. |
Project Results:
The first two test are back and we have a 99% match! One of these test is from Ezekiel Joines' line through his son Thomas' descendant and the other is from Ezekiel's son Edmund Joines' descendant.
This answers a question that has puzzled researchers for years: Was Edmund a son of Ezekiel's? In several documents (including Ezekiel's will from 1803) Edmund Joines is refered to as "alias Edmund Gunter". this opens up the possibility that Edmund was not Ezekiel's son. The results of this test prove that he was indeed Ezekiel's son.
The results of these first test indicate that we are from the Haplo group K2. K2 is a rare haplo group. This opens up a lot more questions. Here is some information about the K2 group: (This was submitted by a Joines Family researcher, Joyce Joines Newman)
Less than 1 percent of the population worldwide belongs to K2. There isn't a lot of information about it because so few people who've done DNA testing belong to this group. The most well known member so far is Thomas Jefferson, whose family was said to have come from Wales, just as the Joines family may have. It has been found in other British men from the York area not related to Jefferson. I found several US DNA study reports where they are K2 and also say they're from Wales.
K2 is a subgroup of the K haplogroup that probably originated in Southeast Asia around 30,000 years ago. I'm attaching a PDF of an article that is the best one I've found so far about it.
---
Here's a summary:
K haplogroup:
'Y-Adam' > M168 > M89 > > M9
The marker M9 first appeared in a man born around 40,000 years ago in
present day Iran or south-central Asia. This marked a new lineage diverging from the M89 Middle Eastern clan. His descendants spent the next 30,000 years populating much of the planet.
This large linage, called the Eurasian Clan, dispersed gradually over
thousands of years. Seasoned hunters followed the herds ever eastward, along the vast 'highway' of the Eurasian Steppe. Eventually their path was blocked by the massive mountain ranges of south-central Asia: the Hindu Kush, the Tian Shan and the Himalayas. These three mountain ranges meet in the center of a region known as the Pamir Knot, located in present-day Tajikistan. Here the tribes of hunters split into two main groups. Some moved north into central Asia, others moved south into what is now Pakistan and the Indian subcontinent. These different migration routes through the Pamir Knot region gave rise to separate lineages. Most people of the Northern Hemisphere trace their roots to the Eurasian Clan. Nearly all North Americans and East Asians are descended from this man, as are most Europeans and many Indians.
K2 haplogroup:
'Y-Adam' > M168 > M89 > > M9 > M70
Not all M9 descendants challenged the problem of the Pamir Knot. Others stayed in the relatively fertile environment of the Near East.There some 30,000 years ago, the marker M70 appeared and today defines this Haplogroup K2. Ancient members of the K2 dispersed across the Mediterranean region.
The K2 lineage is presently found only at low frequencies in Africa, Asia and in the Middle East. This specific line is found at low frequency in Southern Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East.
___________________________________________________________________
Backbone SNP test results are: M70 which is a confirmation of the K2 haplogroup.
The results are in for the test on a descendant of George W. Joines from Giles County, Tennessee. The results indicate that there is a 99% chance that the descendants of George Joines and the descendants of Ezekiel Joines have an anscestor in common. George Joines is believed to have been a son of Thomas Joines who lived in Giles County. Census records indicate that Thomas was born in Maryland about 1785.
The results of the second SNP test are M70+. This again confirms that we belong in the K2 haplogroup.
The results have been returned for the descendant of Joseph Joines. There is a 99% chance that the descendants of Joseph Joines of Kentucky, the descendants of George Joines of Tennessee, and the descendants of Ezekiel Joines of North Carolina have an ancestor in common.
A branch of the Joseph Joines Family changed the spelling to Jines. The member that has been tested uses the Jines spelling. This proves that the Jines variation and the Joines variation are descendant from a common ancestor.
A member has joined the project that is a documented descendant of Edmund Joynes. Test results have been returned and this member is a match with every other member that has been tested, to date. This means every member has a common ancestor. Could that ancestor be Edmund Joynes? Edmund lived on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in the late 1600's and died there about 1712. Only further research will determine this. |
DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members
* Haplogroups in green have been
confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have
been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the
individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease
and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for
ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then
we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the
kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider
ordering a SNP confirmation test.
