Have there been any DELAWARE Ydna projects?
I was just wondering if there have been any Delaware ydna surname project results yet?
My reason for asking is that in a branch of the Canada/Maine DELAWARE family, there was some family story that said they were actually last named DROUIN or something like that, so I wondered if a Ydna result might have shown this as yet.
I am recalling this from memory of several years ago (2003 or thereabouts) so I may have some details in error, but in the 1850 Brunswick, Maine census living with my 4th grt. grandparents Joseph MOODY and his wife who was said to be Mi'kmaq Indian Hannah MITCHELL, was a 27 yr. old Abner DELAWARE who was born in Canada (so he said).He supposedly had a brother George who lived up around Bangor or somewhere in Penobscot Co., ME I think.I believe he was a Civil War soldier too.There was some speculation that this family was of Indian descent as well and could be why Abner was found boarding with my 4th grt. grandparents.
I have several family connections to this particular Delaware line via the COFFIN, CHASE, ALLEN, STANWOOD and WOODSIDE families.
I have not learned anything further about this family or just where Abner DELAWARE actually came from or who his Parents were, where he was born etc.
I have that Charles C. DELAWARE was a son of the Abner DELAWARE that was living with my 4th grt. grandparents in Brunswick, ME and his wife Catherine STANWOOD. This Charles C. DELAWARE named a son George which could be an indication that his father Abner did indeed have a brother by that name.
Charles C. DELAWARE's sister was Harriet Maria DELAWARE who married Charles D. COFFIN son of James W. Coffin and Mary S. CHASE. Mary's parents were Nathaniel CHASE and Merriam ALLEN. Nathaniel's parents were Judah CHASE and Margaret WOODSIDE my 6th grt. grandparents. James W. COFFIN's parents were Thomas Coffin, Jr. and Caroline BATES and Thomas' parents were Thomas COFFIN and Mary "Polly" FOGG my 5th grt. grandparents (son of Abner Coffin and Mary Rawlins/Rawlings).
If anyone can help resolve this Abner DELAWARE's family line I would be Most Greatful.He might be related to my 4th grt. grandmother Hannah (MITCHELL) MOODY for all I know.
Thank you for any info at all.
