This is the first of the 'Second Wave' of Parrott families, which arrived in the 1700s. It is perhaps the one early Parr-tt family from Virginia that did not originate in England. Its patriarch is Frederick, who came from Alasace-Lorraine, or perhaps Switzerland or Germany, and settled in the Shenandoah Valley by 1737, perhaps via Pennsylvannia. A son of his went on to establish Parrottsville, Tennessee. It went on to become perhaps the 3rd largest Parr-tt family in the US, though the family tree as currently known is still very incomplete.

Some additional information about the Parrotts tested:

257791. Individual 257791 is from the Parrotts in Sevier and Jefferson Co., Tennessee. The earliest known ancestor is Henry, b 1772, meaning that Henry must be the eldest son of John Jr and his first wife, Catherine Meyer, bringing the total of identified sons up to three. Based on census records, there are at least 4 other sons still waiting to be identified.

However, the value of 15 at marker 3 suggests this person and 97825, are descended from the same son of John Sr., even they are currently identified as coming from different sons of John Sr. These paper trails need to be reconciled with each other. [An alternative interpretation is that these two paper trails are correct, and that it is the trail of 167069 that is incorrect; this scenario is unlikely, as the value of 14 for marker 3 is the expected value for this haplogroup.]

B115429. This person has traced his ancestry back to George Banner Parrott.

Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype

Frederick and his descendants belong to the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype, which is the most common Y-DNA signature of Europe´s most common Haplogroup, R-M269. Simply put these ancestors have experienced a dramatic population explosion over the past 10,000 years, probably since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM-that´s Anthropology-speak for the last Ice Age) that covered most of Europe beginning 20,000 years ago and lasting for 10,000 long cold winters.

R1b, and its most common Haplotype, exists in high or very high frequencies in all of Western Europe from Spain in the south to the British Isles and western Scandinavia in the north. It appears that approximately 2.62% in Western European males share this most common genetic 12 marker signature.

Anthropologists have been describing for many years that only a select % of all the males in past societies did the vast majority of fathering, while other males lost the opportunity to pass on their Y-Chromosomal genes.

On a lighter note it´s clear that R1b´s Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype has contributed much more than its ´fair share´ in populating Western Europe.
