Dewees(e) Surname Project History
To review how this project came about, my fourth cousin Curtis Dewees (b 1931, d 2021) and I (Andrew Dewees) were independently attempting to confirm our lineages back to the Joseph and Phebe Dewees family of Grayson County Kentucky. Upon discovering our common interest, we agreed that results of a Y-DNA test would be informative and might help answer this question. If in fact we are both descended from Joseph Dewees, we should share copies of his Y chromosome. Therefore, our two Y chromosomes are expected to be identical to each other, except for the occurrence of rare mutations over the six generations back to our common paternal ancestor, Joseph Dewees. Our results from Y-DNA 37 test kits showed that we were an exact match at 35 of 37 Y-DNA sites. This agrees well with theoretical predictions for fourth cousins as calculated by the experts. (Actually, we are fourth cousins, once removed.)
As will be discussed below, our Y-DNA patterns also are very similar to other Deweeses in this project. Therefore, Curtis and I very likely are fourth cousins descended from Joseph Dewees, as our paper records suggest. The Y-DNA results support this statement, but cannot prove with certainty that Joseph Dewees was our fifth great grandfather. In general, DNA test results can only support or reject hypotheses about genealogical relationships based on paper records, but cannot prove them with certainty.
Dewees(e) family historians have shown that virtually all U. S. Dewees(e) families trace their paternal lineages back to 17th Century Dutch immigrant Garrett Hendricks deWees through one of his three sons. (A well-documented review of this early Dewees Family, written by Dewees(e) family archivist Dr. Jack Vaughn and Ted DeWeese, can be found at this site: http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.deweese/358/mb.ashx)
We determined that Y-DNA testing provides an excellent opportunity to analyze this unique family structure; therefore, we initiated the Dewees(e) Surname Project in 2010.
Through Y-DNA testing we hope to identify and group the different Dewees(e) family lineages, thus confirming or not the paper records of family genealogists. Additionally, where paper records are incomplete, we might be able to place a Dewees(e) family, or even a non-Dewees(e) family, into its proper Dewees(e) family lineage based solely on their Y-DNA pattern.

Discussion of Project Results
For this discussion, please view the Project Y-DNA Results (colorized) in a new tab at:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Dewees/default.aspx?section=ycolorized
NOTE: Based on the security choices of some participants, their DNA results are visible only to members of this surname project.
Currently, there are 19 participants having the Dewees(e) surname in the Dewees(e) Surname Project, 14 of whom are grouped into family lineages under the three sons of Garrett Hendricks Dewees- Cornelius, Lewis (Lambert) and William. This grouping is based on genealogical records submitted by each participant, which can be viewed at the bottom of this page under Patriarch Page. A fourth grouping includes men who have the Dewees(e) haplogroup I-M223, but are unassigned due to lack of family records. Two Dewees(e) men and Mr. Miles are in this "unassigned" category (more later on Mr. Miles), Three Dewees(e) men, lacking the Dewees(e) haplogroup, are shown in the ungrouped category.
Presented in the Y-DNA Results table are the DNA test results for each of the 17 participants. The outcomes of the 37 STR marker sites are shown for each participant. Each number in the table is the number of repeating DNA segments for a given Short Tandem Repeat (STR) marker site. For example, all grouped participants in this project have 14 copies of the DNA segment for the first STR marker site in the table, DYS393. The numbers in blue and pink represent STR marker sites where a mutation has occurred at some generation in a participant’s lineage leading back to the common paternal ancestor of Dewees(e) participants, purported to be Garrett H. Dewees. Moving across the table beginning at marker site DYS389I, one can observe nine marker sites for which a mutation has occurred in the various Dewees(e) lineages. At the remaining 28 sites, all grouped participants are identical in their STR values. The conclusion here is that all 13 grouped Dewees(e) participants carry nearly identical copies of their common male ancestor’s Y chromosome, except for variation among these nine sites which are spread over the various family lineages.
As expected, the three family groupings (Cornelius, Lewis, William) show some distinct differences from each other. For example, for marker DYS460, two of three descendants of Lewis have a value of 10 whereas descendants of William all have a value of 11 at this site. Among descendants of Cornelius, five have a value of 11 and one has a value of 10 for this marker. For another marker, DYS570, descendants of William have a value of 19 whereas descendants of Lewis and Cornelius have values of 20 or 21. And, for marker CDY-a, descendants of William have a value of 35 and all other participants have a value of 34 or 33.
This type of information will be useful in the future to help assign a Dewees(e) male who lacks definitive genealogical records to his appropriate group.
Participants who are descendants of the same son of Garrett are generally more similar to each other in their STR values than they are to descendants of other sons of Garrett. For example, #181213 (William) and #181226 (William) are known to be fourth cousins and they differ at only 2 of 37 sites. Whereas #181226 (William) and #N89299 (Lewis) are eighth cousins and differ in 4 of 37 sites. This pattern is expected because the more closely related two Dewees(e) men are, the fewer mutations are expected to occur in their lineages back to their common ancestor.
..................
A Non-paternal event (NPE) in genetic genealogy is said to have occurred in the paternal ancestry of a male whose Y DNA pattern differs greatly from the patterns normally present in males having his surname. Thus, NPEs are of concern in single family surname projects such as the Dewees(e) Surname Project. It has been reported that the NPE rate might approach 25% of participants in a given surname project (“Towards improvements in y-DNA Surname Project Administration” by James M. Irvine, Journal of Genetic Genealogy, 6(1), 2010).
There are various explanations of NPEs. A son may carry a different surname than his biological father due to illegitimacy, both in-wedlock and out-of-wedlock. For a variety of reasons, a male child may be given his mother’s surname rather than his father’s. An adopted child is usually given the surname of the adoptive family which is likely different than that of the boy’s biological father.
We have four instances of non-paternal events in the Dewees(e) Surname Project:
1. As is evident in the Y Results table, the Y DNA pattern of Mr. DeWease (kit # 208888), listed in the table as ungrouped, differs greatly from the typical Dewees(e) pattern. His Y-DNA pattern, in fact, is a perfect 37-site match to three men in the FTDNA database all having the Wilson surname. Mr. DeWease had some reservations about the accuracy of his family records a few generations back in his family lineage. Upon learning of his Y-DNA results, and after further study of family records, he finds that he likely is a descendant of Peter Wilson.
2. Mr. Miles (kit #29601) is shown in the results table in the unassigned category. Mr. Miles was identified as having a Dewees(e) Y-DNA pattern following a search in the FTDNA database for Y-DNA matches to the Dewees(e) pattern. Originally, Mr. Miles was a participant in the Miles surname Project, but his Y-DNA pattern differed greatly from patterns of other Miles men. His Y-DNA pattern differs at only two marker sites (DYS570 and CDYb) from the Modal pattern for this subgroup. Mr. Miles also differs at only two sites from the modal pattern in the Lewis group. Because Mr. Miles differs at four sites from the Modal pattern in the William group, he likely is not a descendant of William. Due to the small number of mutational events in these data, we are unable to say with certainty from which of the three sons Mr. Miles descends, but most likely it is Cornelius or Lewis. This Miles family has joined our project and is currently reviewing historical records for a possible intersection of the Miles and Dewees(e) families.
3. and 4. Two men shown in the ungrouped category in the results table carry the surnames DeWees (kit # 783096) and DeWeese (kit # 654383). The Y DNA sites of both men vary greatly from the typical Dewees(e) patterns. Due to the occurrence of a non-paternal event somewhere in their ancestry, these two men carry the Dewees(e) surname but not the Dewees(e) Y chromosome.

Summary Statement
Y-DNA studies of single-surname lineages using STR markers are very useful in confirming family genealogies and in detecting unexpected family relationships. The Y-DNA results of the Dewees(e) Surname Project are in agreement with the historical structure of the U. S. Dewees(e) family- virtually all members of this family trace their paternal lineages back to the three sons of immigrant Garrett Hendricks Dewees. Based on their Y-DNA patterns, the descendants of the three sons of Garrett fall more or less into identifiable family groupings. Caveat: the validity of these groupings rests on the accuracy of family genealogies submitted by the participants.
Although the Y-DNA data presented here support the findings of Dewees(e) family historians, it does not rule out other family structures. To increase confidence in our conclusions, larger sample sizes are needed, both in the number of participants and in the number of Y-DNA marker sites tested (more than 37).

The Dewees(e) Family Y chromosome Haplogroup: I-FT250100 in I-M223
As shown in the Y-DNA Results page, seven Dewees(e) males belong to the I-M223 haplogroup. The remaining grouped Dewees(e) men tested with the Big Y 700 test (see below) and exhibit the I-FT250100 haplogroup which is a subgroup of the I-M223 haplogroup. Confirmed haplogroup designations are colored green. The haplogroup designations for the remaining Deweeses are in red and “have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results”, primarily from their STR patterns (haplotypes).
The I-M223 haplogroup identifies a group of people all of whom share the M223 SNP, a rare mutation that occurred in their common male ancestor several thousand years ago. Males having a Y chromosome with this mutation were present in northern Europe after the last ice age and today are concentrated in the countries of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. This is in agreement with the origins of the Dewees(e) family in that family historians report the family founder Garrett Hendricks deWees immigrated from the Netherlands to New Amsterdam (now NYC) in about 1663. Information about this haplogroup can be seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_I2_%28Y-DNA%29
Big Y 700 Tests 2021-2022
Summary of Big Y 700 DNA tests of eight Dewees/e men in the Dewees/e Surname Project by Mark Winzenburg, October, 2022.
The Garrett Hendricks Dewees(e) Family Y Chromosome Haplogroup: I-FT250100
There are two types of Y chromosome DNA tests, STR tests and SNP tests. DNA projects began with STR testing because SNP tests were either not available or too expensive. SNP tests have become cheaper and more available, and the Big Y tests cover many more DNA sites than do STR tests. About two years ago Elizabeth Nichols encouraged members of the project to take an advanced SNP test called the "Big Y 700". This test is offered by Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), the world leader in Y DNA testing.
Unlike early SNP tests which looked for the presence or absence of a certain SNP such as M223, the Big Y 700 scans about 23 million positions (nucleotide pairs) on the Y chromosome (of 56million total). FTDNA has detected about 500,000 unique mutations in 32,000 testers. Each of these mutations, called a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), is a chemical change in a single position on the DNA chain. A family of related men will have a common set of SNPs, called a haplogroup, that distinguishes them from all other families.
Our project has found that eight Dewees(e) men, seven of whom have a genealogical paper trail back to Garrett Hendricks Dewees (GHD), have a common set of SNPs that FTDNA has termed the I-FT250100 haplogroup. Each of these men also has a small handful of SNPs that are unique to him. These eight men can be identified on the DNA Results page- six are shown as belonging to the I-FT250100 haplogroup, and two brothers under William belong to a subgroup of I-FT2501009 termed I-FT249448. (Due to privacy settings, non-members of this surname project will see results of only seven men). We conclude that Garrett Hendricks Dewees belonged to haplogroup I-FT250100. He may or may not have been the founder of this haplogroup; it may have been his father or grandfather. Male descendants of GHD have been accumulating additional SNPs (average rate of 1 SNP every 80-100 years) since his sons were born in the late 1600s. We had hoped that we could distinguish descendants of the three sons of GHD -- William, Cornelius, and Lewis -- by their uniquely shared SNPs. So far, however, each of the descendants show only unique SNP differences (with the exception of two brothers in William's line). Perhaps as additional Dewees men take the Big Y700 test a pattern will emerge that allows placement into one of the three son's lines.
I-FT250100, the GHD haplogroup, includes a set of SNPs that distinguishes this family. In turn, I-FT250100 is part of a larger family group from which it descended. Each of these larger groups takes us further back in time towards the original man from whom we are all descended. Based on an examination of a Dewees/e participant’s at FTDNA.com, we find that I-FT250100's closest ancestor is I-FT73941 which probably formed around 450 BC (give or take 500 years). Knowing the SNP mutation rate (one new SNP mutation every 80-100 years), we get that estimate from the 24 SNPs that are part of I-FT250100 but not part of I-FT73941. Of course, we don't know the name of the founder of this family, but he likely lived somewhere around what is now the Netherlands. If we go back further, we find that I-FT250100 is a distant descendant of haplogroup I-M223, a family that was founded about 15,000 BC, before the last Ice Age, probably somewhere in central Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_I-M438 ).
Based on use of data as described in the previous paragraph we can derive an estimate of when Garrett Hendricks Dewees gave rise to the Dewees(e) family in America. The two Dewees brothers who took the Big Y test contain four SNPs that are unique to them and absent from the other Dewees(e) men who took the Big Y test. These four mutations likely occurred in the brothers’ lineage through GHD’s son, William. Given the SNP mutation rate of one in 80-100 years, this gives an estimate of 320-400 years ago as the origin of this Dewees lineage. This agrees, within the limits of chance sampling, with genealogical records that show that Garrett Hendricks Dewees arrived in America in about 1663, and son William was born in 1679.
* SNP- Mutations at the single nucleotide level, for example T changed to C, are rare, occurring at a rate of 1/million. Once a SNP mutation occurs on the Y chromosome it persists in all male descendants in the resulting lineage. This group of men, all carrying the same unique SNP on their Y chromosome, represent a subgroup of the human population known as a Y haplogroup.
