James Holman (Holdman, Holeman)
Born: about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky
Died: about 1886 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln County, Kentucky


James Holman (Holdman, Holeman) was born about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky. He lived in the area of Brodhead and Crab Orchard, Kentucky, which are on the border of three Kentucky counties: Lincoln, Garrard, and Rockcastle.

On June 4, 1835 in Garrard County, Kentucky, James Holman was married to Martha Ramsey, the daughter of Alexander Ramsey, by Baptist minister Benjamin Polston

The DNA test results for a great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814, require us to expand our search on where to find the parents of James Holman, born 1814.

Project members' who match at 23/25, 33/37/, 61/67 or better - the commonly accepted measure for sharing a "recent" common ancestor.
Generally, the common ancestor lived since the advent of surnames (c1100) and probably was born in the last 200-400 years - though sometimes less. The common ancestor could be the earliest ancestor on the oldest pedigree, could have lived as little as one generation earlier, or could have lived generations earlier than any of the listed earliest ancestors. Matches at only 12 markers are not considered enough to confirm a shared ancestor.

The surprise in the FamilyTreeDNA study is that the great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814, is a Y-DNA match with:

* a 3rd great-grandson of the Kenneth Holeman who died March 31, 1871 in Upperfreehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey (37/37 marker). 

* a 4th great-grandson of the Daniel Holeman who was born in 1787 in North Carolina, had children in Tennessee, and homesteaded in 1850 in Douglas County, Missouri (67/67 marker).

Since each marker has a different mutation rate, identical Genetic Distances will not necessarily yield the same probabilities. In other words, even though the great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814 has a Genetic Distance‡ of 0 from 3rd great grandson of Kenneth Holeman, b. 1783, someone else with the same Genetic Distance may have different probabilities, because the distance of 0 was prompted by mutations in different markers, with different mutation rates.

A 37/37 match between two men who share a common surname (or variant) means they share a common male ancestor. Their relatedness is extremely close with the common ancestor predicted, 50% of the time, in 5 generations or less and over a 95% probability within 8 generations. Very few people achieve this close level of a match. All confidence levels are well within the time frame that surnames were adopted in Western Europe.

FamilyTreeDNA compared the results for a great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814, and four (possibly five) direct male descendants of Thomas Holeman, who was born 1723 in Kent County, Maryland, lived in the Shenandoah Valley, and died about 1798 in North Carolina.

It is clear that the three "Very Tightly Related" Holman males are related to three of the sons of Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) and his first wife, Mary Ann Thompson. However, none of the sons of Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) and his first wife, Mary Ann Thompson share with the three "Very Tightly Related" Holman males the mutation at DYS 449. [Question: Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) have a close relative who had this mutation?]

Four male descendants of Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) match to the three "very tightly related" Holmans: one "Tightly Related" (36/37 Markers) and three "Related" ( 64/67 Markers; 34/37 Markers; 63/67 Markers)

* All four descend through Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) and his first wife, Mary Ann Thompson.

* Two descend through the son of Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) - Thomas Holman (1756-1833); second wife: Alyse "Elsa" Tugman. (36/37 Markers; 63/67 Markers)

* One descends through the son of Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) - Daniel Holeman (b: Abt. 1750; d: 1820 in Robertson County, TN) (64/67 Markers)

* One descends through the son of Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) - Isaac Holeman (b: 15 Feb 1752 in Rowan County, North Carolina; d: 25 Aug 1834 in Lincoln County, Tennessee; m 2nd: "Hannah",b: 1755) (34/37 Markers)

Also, there is a fifth possible descendant of Thomas Holeman (b. 1723) - Isaac Holeman (b: 15 Feb 1752 in Rowan County, North Carolina; d: 25 Aug 1834 in Lincoln County, Tennessee) (34/37 markers)

Display Since each marker has a different mutation rate, identical Genetic Distances will not necessarily yield the same probabilities. In other words, even though the great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814 has a Genetic Distance‡ of 1 from the 5th 
great-grandson of Thomas Holeman b 1723, someone else with the same Genetic Distance may have different probabilities, because the distance of 1 was prompted by mutations in different markers, with different mutation rates. 

A 36/37 match between two men who share a common surname (or variant) indicates a close genealogical match. Very few people achieve this close level of a match, and it is within the range of most well-established surname lineages in Western Europe. It’s most likely that they matched 24/25 or 25/25 on a previous Y-DNA test, and the mismatch will be found within DYS576, DYS570, or CDY.

the great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814 has a Genetic Distance‡ of 3 from 4th great-grandson of Thomas Holeman b 1723 , someone else with the same Genetic Distance may have different probabilities, because the distance of 3 was prompted by mutations in different markers, with different mutation rates.

The expected relationship between you and your Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) match is dependent on both the number of markers you have tested and the genetic distance. If you and your match have both tested at the Y-DNA67 level and are a genetic distance of three, your degree of matching is within the range of most well-established surname lineages in Western Europe.

The expected relationship between you and your Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) match is dependent on both the number of markers you have tested and the genetic distance. If you and your match have both tested at the Y-DNA67 level and are a genetic distance of three, your degree of matching is within the range of most well-established surname lineages in Western Europe. 

A 63/67 or 64/67 match between two men who share the same surname (or a variant) means that they are likely to share a common ancestor within the genealogical time frame. The common ancestor is probably not extremely recent, but is likely within the range of most well-established surname lineages in Western Europe.

Our assumption is that because Elias Holeman (1759 -1827) is related to three "Very Tightly Related" Holmans, he must also be related to Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey. Thomas Holman (b. 1748), the son of Aaron and Ann (Story) Holman and the great grandson of Robert Holman, died 1709, had a son named Elias. Because there may have been two Elias Holmans in Burlington County, New Jersey during this time frame, how Elias Holeman (1759 -1827) is related to Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey, is unknown.

Another surprise in the FamilyTreeDNA study is that the great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814 is a Y-DNA 35/37 marker match with a descendant of Ralph Ammon or Amon, unknown origin, believed PA

Since each marker has a different mutation rate, identical Genetic Distances will not necessarily yield the same probabilities. In other words, even though the great-grandson of James Holman, born 1814 has a Genetic Distance‡ of 2 from a descendant of Ralph Ammon or Amon, someone else with the same Genetic Distance may have different probabilities, because the distance of 2 was prompted by mutations in different markers, with different mutation rates.

The expected relationship between you and your Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) match is dependent on both the number of markers you have tested and the genetic distance. If you and your match have both tested at the Y-DNA37 level and are a genetic distance of two, your degree of matching is within the range of most well-established surname lineages in Western Europe. 

A 35/37 match between two men who share a common surname (or variant) means they share a common male ancestor. The mismatch is likely within the range of most well-established surname lineages in Western Europe.
It is most likely that you matched exactly or closely on previous Y-DNA tests and the mismatch is within DYS439 or DYS385, DYS389i, 389ii, DYS458, DYS459, DYS449, DYS464, DYS576, DYS570, or CDY.

The results of the DNA tests show that the descendant of James Holeman, born 1814: 

* Is "very tightly related" to descendant of the Daniel Holman who was born about 1787 in North Carolina, had children in Tennessee, and homesteaded in Douglas, Missouri;

* Is "very tightly related" to the descendant of the Kenneth Holeman who died in 1871 in Upperfreehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey;

* Is "related" to the descendants of Thomas Holeman, who was born about 1723 in Kent County, Maryland, lived in the Shenandoah Valley and died Jan 10, 1798 in Wilkes County, North Carolina; and

* Is "related" to the descendant of Elias Holeman (1759 - 1827, Burlington County, New Jersey).

The Holman Lineage II group at WorldFamilies.net is associated with Thomas Holeman born about in 1723 in Kent Co., Maryland.

The three "very tightly related" Holmen men fall into this Holman Lineage II group. They deviate from the group with a mutation at DYS 449. 
Elias Holeman, born 1759 in New Jersey, also falls into this group. He deviates from the group with a mutation at DYS 458. 

Generally an exact copy of the yDNA is passed from father to son, but occasionally, and at random, a slight difference may occur, called a mutation. Where the mutation is matching a mutation from another result within the Lineage, the match likely indicates a more recent shared common ancestor (or a "branch" within the Lineage) as the two men probably both inherited the mutation from a recent common ancestor.

Please note that the yDNA marker mutation rates vary between each STR result. The chart below shows STR Mutation Rates Per Generation. The higher the number, the faster the rate of mutation. Both DTS 449 and DYS 458 are high numbers. A mutation with a fast rate is less significant since that marker is expected to mutate much more frequently.

STR Mutation Rate per Generation
DYS 449 0.00939
DYS 458 0.00626
 

 

Are the DNA test results consistent with the historical documentation?

I have not been able to determine how the three "very tightly related" Holman men are related to each other. However, since Kenneth Holman born 1783 in Monmouth Co., NJ is assumed to be the 2nd great grandson of Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey, I am assuming that the other two "very tightly related" Holman men are related to Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey.

How is Thomas Holeman b. 1723, related to Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey?

Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey, had a son, Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686. Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686, relocated to Kent County, Maryland (near his relatives), and then he (along with his brother, Daniel Holman) relocated to the Shenandoah valley in Virginia. Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686, had a son, Thomas Holeman, born 1723 in Kent Co., Maryland, who relocated from the Shenandoah valley to Rowan County in what was to become Surry and later to be Wilkes County, North Carolina.

How is Elias Holeman (1759 -1827) related to Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey?

Thomas Holman (b. 1748), the son of Aaron and Ann (Story) Holman and the great grandson of Robert Holman, died 1709, had a son named Elias Holman. Because there may have been two Elias Holmans in Burlington County, New Jersey during this time frame, how Elias Holeman (1759 -1827) is related to Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey, is uncertain.

The DNA results for the descendant of James Holeman, b. 1814 did not match the tests results in the Holman Family DNA Project for the two descendants of "German" Holmans: Conrad Holman (born before 1730 in Germany or Switzerland and died about 1771 in Amelia Township, South Carolina) and John Wendel Hallman/Heilman (born about 1710 probably in Germany and died in South Carolina).

The DNA results for the descendant of James Holeman, b. 1814 did not match any of the tests results in the Hollyman Family DNA Project (males who are or believe they are descended from the Christopher Hollyman who resided in Isle of Wight Co., VA and died there in 1691). 

The DNA results for the descendant of James Holeman, b. 1814 did not match any of the tests results in the Family DNA Project for Hagelman, Hailman, Hallman, Halman, Heilman, Heilmann, Helman, Heylman, Heylmann, Hileman, Hilemann, Hilleman, Hillemann, Hillman surnames.
