MATRILINEAL (mtDNA) ANCESTRY OF CECILIA LOCKWOOD PRESENTED AS A DIRECT ALL-MATERNAL LINEAGE USING AN ANCESTRAL LINES PAIRING SYSTEM Capers W. McDonald Each mother shares a significant link to all the mothers of prior generations through her personal experiences. Like those of the past, she enjoys special bonds with her children and knows the joys and unavoidable sorrows of family life. Especially for daughters, our mothers are usually the primary role models for each successive generation. Other than in daily life, reliving these experiences can be particularly rewarding when exploring family history and genealogy through a woman’s matrilineal heritage. Bringing that extended heritage into the present can be an engaging journey of discovery and then of sharing. Like many Americans, Cecilia Lockwood and her kin have a family history that includes several lines of immigrants from different periods and regions. Along her matrilineal (direct allmaternal) lineage are other women who over many years lived in South Carolina, New York, the Duchy of Genoa in the Kingdom of Sardinia (1815-1848, later the Kingdom of Italy), 1 and the Duchy and Kingdom of Württemberg 2 (of the German Confederation from 1815). 3 Six ancestral generations carry this lineage back into the early 1700s. Traditional sources provide a detailed history and documented genealogy of these lives. However, guidance from “genetic genealogy” provided a crucial signpost in that search and pointed traditional research in the direction of central Europe. Both traditional genealogical research and genetic genealogical testing for Cecilia Lockwood demonstrate that this contemporary South Carolinian has a matrilineal ancestry during historical times from what is presently the region of Germany and Eastern Europe. 4 As for many early Europeans, Cecilia’s genetic genealogy on that continent, dating to about 25,000 years ago, indicates an even more ancient ancestry in what is today the Near and Middle East, living millennia before any extensive European population existed. 5 1

In 1815, following Napoleon’s defeat and the restructuring of Europe at the Congress of Vienna, the Republic of Genoa was incorporated into the Kingdom of Sardinia as a Duchy until 1848, when the department (later province) of Genoa was organized under Savoyard unification. In 1861, the extensive Kingdom of Sardinia changed its name to the Kingdom of Italy and in 1865 moved its capital from the Savoy headquarters in Turin to Florence and then to Rome. 2 Encyclopædia Britannica, Eleventh Ed., Vol. 28 (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/ topic/650066/Wurttemberg), “Württemberg.” As a political state, Württemberg was a Duchy 1495-1803 then an Electorate 1803-1806 of the Holy Roman Empire, and thereafter a Kingdom 1806-1918. Württemberg is home to the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) and the brothers Grimm fairy tales (Märchen), first published in 1812. 3 A. H. L. Heeren, A Manual of the History of the Political System of Europe and Its Colonies (London: Henry G. Bohn, 1873), 480-481. 4 Family Tree DNA (Houston, Texas; www.familytreedna.com) mtDNA Full Sequence test results indicate that Cecilia Lockwood – as well as her mother, all her full siblings and all her female sibling’s children – are, scientifically speaking, of phylogenetic clade or haplogroup K (specifically Hg K1c1). The “Genealogical Summary” section of this article provides traditional documentation for her recorded ancestral lineage. 5 Haplogroup K originated about 25,000 years ago as one of three descendant European branches of ancestral haplogroup U, the origin for which is generally localized in the Near and Middle East about 50,000 years ago. The mtDNA sequences of Europeans are assorted into ten major haplogroups, alphabetically named H, J, K, N1, T, U4, 28 February 2015 © Capers W. McDonald

Matrilineal (mtDNA) Ancestry of Cecilia Lockwood
This article is focused on three primary contributions. The first is to highlight the benefit of having a reliable indication, based on personal genetic testing, of the ethnic group and geographic region in which to search for a most distant matrilineal ancestor. The second is to provide a more useful format of ancestral lines pairing by generation to organize and present such a direct all-maternal lineage. The third is to document as a specific example the matrilineal ancestry of this contemporary American family for the first time. Genetic testing for genealogy and family history is a relatively new means of better understanding our individual and family group ancestry. Such “genetic genealogy” works best when traditional genealogical documentation is correlated with the test results. A very useful aspect of available testing can be to assess our matrilineal (direct all-maternal) lineage using variations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). As will be shown, this can point us to the ethnicity and likely region of our earliest discoverable maternal ancestor, anywhere in the world. The results of these combined approaches – traditional and scientific – then can be organized effectively to present any matrilineal ancestry for reference and further development. A relatively simple biological test now can provide any person – man, woman or child – with information identifying their individual and group ancestry along their all-female maternal lineage. This is achieved with a test of the mtDNA found in loose cells obtained from inside the mouth, which are gathered by a sputum sample or painless cheek swab using a test kit mailed from any of several companies that test and report confidential results. 6 The results do not include any medical or paternity information, providing only the determined maternal heritage. This is the mtDNA ancestry for the mother and all siblings having the same mother of the person tested. It carries back in time along the all-female maternal line – the mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and so forth. Enough individual samples have now been tested worldwide to provide us with relatively clear mtDNA ancestries that are identified in both time and place. For any such ancestral pedigree, a straightforward new numbering system can be used to display the component lines by generation. This “Ancestral Lines Pairing System” (Ancestral Lines) 7 first organizes and numbers each direct line to present these as continuous ancestral lineages – setting and maintaining the direct “ancestral line” numbers. It next visibly numbers successive generations along each line as simply as possible, with each mother’s and father’s generation number always being one greater than the generation number of their children. Either the maternal (female) or paternal (male) line may be selected as “primary” for each pairing. In the case of organizing the matrilineal (mtDNA) heritage, this most efficiently is U5, V, X and W. As an example, about half of the European mtDNA “pool” is thought to be of haplogroup H. (See Torroni, et al., Am. J. Human Genetics 55(1994):760-776, “mtDNA and the origin of Caucasians;” Torroni, et al., Genetics 144(1996):1835-1850, “Classification of European mtDNAs from an analysis of three European populations;” Macaulay, et al., Am. J. Human Genetics 64(1999):232-249, “The emerging tree of West Eurasian mtDNA;” Richards, et al., Am. J. Human Genetics 67(2000): 1251-1276, “Tracing European founder lineages in the Near Eastern mtDNA pool.”) The full “phylogenetic tree” of global human mtDNA variation currently is updated online every six months (M. van Oven and M. Kayser, “Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation,” Human Mutation 30(2)(2009):E386-E394. http://www.phylotree.org.). 6 International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG, www.isogg.org), “List of DNA Testing Companies.” Largest established companies providing genetic testing for family history and genealogical purposes currently include 23andMe, AncestryDNA, DNA Diagnostics Center (AncestrybyDNA), BritainsDNA, GeneByGene (Family Tree DNA), National Geographic Society (Genographic Project), and others. 7 “Numbering System for Antecedents and Outcomes,” United States Patent 8,447,763 also covered by international Patent Cooperation Treaty Regulations (Washington, DC: USPTO, 2013).

Matrilineal (mtDNA) Ancestry of Cecilia Lockwood
selecting the female lines. 8 In cultural kinship systems, such lineages form the mother-of-mother core of “matrilineal descent groups,” which consist of “a woman, her brothers and sisters, her own children, her sisters’ (but not her brothers’) children, and the children of her daughters (but not of her sons).” Such “matrilineality is not the same as matriarchy, in which women hold the formal positions of power.” 9 A direct, all-male patrilineal (Y-DNA) lineage logically would use the male lines as primary, generally similar to a “patrilineal descent group.” In the three-number format of the Ancestral Lines system employed here, the two calculated indicators for lines and generations are shown for each person in the extended ancestry. For those of the matrilineal line and their siblings, who are the focus of this mtDNA lineage, these two numbers are followed by a third indicator that is assigned sequentially based on known or assigned birth order of siblings and maternal half-siblings. This additional sibling indicator alternatively can be assigned for all members of the extended ancestry, not just the matrilineal line and their siblings, once again displaying rankings based on birth order. The Ancestral Lines format therefore does not merely provide index locator numbers, but also visibly conveys identifying information beginning with the individual’s family line and generation. A further brief description of the full Ancestral Lines system follows this article’s “Genealogical Summary,” and a more complete presentation, including other examples, was published in 2011. 10

Through four wars, starting with the Civil war, the hospital grew into a complex of more than 100 buildings on more than 300 acres. It would become a pioneer in psychiatric care and research, and at its peak, in 1945, it housed 7,450 patients. ¶ But the federal government’s decision in 1946 to stop sending servicemen there was the first in a wave of changes that would transform the hospital over the second half of the 20th century.

The South Carolina Board of Harbor Commissioners elected Capt. Lockwood Harbor Master in 1944 and re-elected him to serve through 1952. 47 During the “Great Storm” hurricane of 1911, he and his younger brother, George McDougal Lockwood, helped secure the White Stack Towing Company’s ships against the storm. The following exploit from that occasion is attributed to George M. Lockwood: Captain Lockwood… sailed a tug over the old Ashley River bridge in the great storm of 1911. You ought to hear him tell about it. The waves apparently were breaking right over the old mill which stood on the point across from here. Captain Lockwood says, “Ma Daddy tole me you better git that tug out o’ here. So Ah did.” There was such a rise of tide with the wind that he had enough water to clear the span. 48 2.1

at the port of New York on 5 June 1849 at the age of fifteen, traveling directly from the North Sea port of Bremen with only two elder sisters, Maria1.3:5 and Fredericke1.3:8 Kossmann. 86 The year of her immigration is corroborated by Louisa Buero’s record in the 1900 U.S. census. 87 Ethnic Germans were “the earliest major non-English speaking group to settle in post-colonial New York, with a steady influx of German immigrants having developed by the 1830s, and major immigrant communities being established by the 1840s.” 88 Louisa Kossmann married Carl Flemming in the Evangelical 89 Lutheran Church of St. Matthew, New York City, on 30 July 1850. 90 She was recorded as an unmarried woman, 17 years old (therefore born about 1833), from Schanbach, Württemberg. 91 He was recorded as an unmarried man, 21 years old (therefore born about 1829), a “carman” residing at 101 Washington Street, from Gotland, Sweden. Witnesses were Ferdinand Kreuter of 58 Greenwich Street, and Wilhelmine Kaiser of 45 Greenwich Street. 92 Carl Flemming, Americanized as “Charles” Flemming, may have been German-Swedish, 93 although a definitive link for him to German heritage has yet to be found. 94 At the time of the 1850 U.S. census about two months later, Charles and Louisa Fleming were living in the boarding house of a German-American family in New York’s First Ward. 95 86

This is the last known record for Louisa Fleming (or Kossmann or Buero) in New York State. However, a “Charles Flemming” born in Sweden, marital status “unknown,” died in New York, New York on 24 October 1852, although the record indicates his age as 34 (therefore born about 1818). 96 Even though in New York City for the U.S. census on 19 September 1850, it is possible that Louisa Fleming’s husband, Charles, may very soon have moved westward in the California Gold Rush and been recorded on 4 December 1850 in the U.S. census for El Dorado County, California, as a Swedish-born miner boarding with other miners. 97 This man evidently remained in El Dorado County during the California state census on 24 June 1852, when he was recorded as a miner born in Sweden whose last residence had been New York. 98 A Scandinavian immigrant named Charles Flemming was naturalized on 1 April 1848 at the Marine Court in New York City. 99 This evidently is the same Charles Flemming who appears as a farmer in three Solano County, California voter registrations in 1871, 1876 and 1880, where he was recorded with this identical naturalization history. 100 This Charles Flemming also appears to have resided in Solano County without any other family during the censuses of 1860, 1870 and 1880. 101 It is not clear whether the California adventurer of 1850-1852 is the same Charles Flemming who was naturalized in New York in 1848 and then lived in Solano County during 1860-1880. However, nothing clearly excludes the possibility, and the farms near Tremont in Solano County are only about 60 miles west of the gold country of Dry Creek in El Dorado County. If this was Louisa’s Swedish-American husband, living without family in California during 1850-1880, he may have either divorced or possibly abandoned her in New York within a few months of their marriage and simply headed off into the American West. Alternatively, it is possible that the Charles Flemming of 1850-1852 is unrelated to the man of 1860-1880 and may have died in about 1852 while seeking his fortune in the mountains of Northern California, separate from distant family and friends, as did hundreds of other men in the unsettled period.

His widow, if any, may then have been notified and could have remarried by late 1852 or early 1853. Based on multiple sources, Louisa1.3 Kossmann and Emanuel5.3 Buero evidently were married in 1852 or early 1853. With their first-known child, daughter Teodora, they were first recorded together in the 1856 census of Genoa, which was then part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. 102 This is the earliest known record of the married couple and includes Louisa Buero’s maiden name and her father’s given name, both evidently written in phonetic Italian as “Louisa neé Cosman” and “Adamo.” It is the only known record of their daughter Teodora, born prior to this 1856 census. The small Buero family is next found arriving in New York as passengers returning from Europe on 25 October 1859. 103 In this arrival they were recorded with a different daughter, Theodora, 104 apparently age 15 months (born in June 1858), who evidently is the one of that name who grew to adulthood. 105 They soon traveled onward to Charleston, arriving by steamship on 1 November that same year. 106 The only known American record of Louisa Kossmann’s maiden name associated with her married name “Buero” is in the death record of this same daughter, Theodora. 107 Louisa and Emanuel Buero’s family are recorded in Charleston during the U.S. censuses of 1870, 1880 and 1900. 108 The 1900 census indicates that the family eventually included a total of seven children but that only three were living at that time. These evidently were three daughters, Theodora (Buero) Fleming, unmarried Louisa A. Buero, and Elvina M. (Buero) Rabb. 109 Louisa’s and Emanuel’s eldest surviving daughter, Theodora1.2:2 Buero, married William J. Fleming in about 1879, 110 and the couple was living in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia by 1880. 111 Both were listed in a Charleston City Directory for 1898 as William J. and “Dora” 102

In his earliest known American record, “Emanuel Buerro / Genoa (K. Sardinia)” became a United States citizen in Charleston on 6 August 1847. 126 In one of his last known records, he was registered to vote in Charleston’s Second Precinct of Ward Three in October 1899. 127 These records are both corroborated by an entry in the 1900 U.S. census, where Emanuel is listed as a naturalized citizen born in Italy who immigrated in about 1848. 128 Emanuel appears to have been in Europe in the summer of 1851 when “Emanuele Boero” was recorded as a passenger from Genoa to Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. 129 Although Genoa also was an important port, under the King of Sardinia many international ship departures evidently were from the main island’s capital. Since Emanuel and Louisa evidently were married in 1852 or early 1853, the two may have met in New York if he was traveling through that port, perhaps returning from Europe in 1851. However, no record of Emanuel Buero traveling through New York City at that time has been located. Similarly, no marriage record for the couple has yet been found in the United States, the Kingdom of Sardinia or the Kingdom of Württemberg from 1851-1853 or otherwise. Especially in the American South, 1861 was an unusually tumultuous year, with political and military events escalating monthly. South Carolina seceded from the Union in January, a Confederate constitution was approved in February and Jefferson Davis was soon inaugurated as president of the Confederacy, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated for his first term as U.S. president in March, and U.S. Fort Sumter was fired upon in Charleston harbor on 12 April. Emanuel Buero applied for a passport in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 21 April 1861, 130 and he and his family departed from New York for Europe three weeks later on 12 May. 131 With both parents being of European origin, the family most likely was responding at least in part to these rapidly changing conditions.

Fifth Ancestral Generation 1.5:1 CATHARINA STIEFEL (Catharina Sieger1.6) was born and baptized in Baiereck, Jagstkreis, Duchy of Württemberg, 13 December 1756, 171 daughter of Catharina (Sieger)1.6 and Andreas33.6 Stiefel. 172 She died in probably Baltmannsweiler after 4 Aug. 1800 (last-known child born). 173 She married in Baltmannsweiler 31 May 1785, 17.5 JOHANNES PRACHT, 174 who was baptized in Baltmannsweiler 6 Nov. 1760. 175 At the age of 25, likely at her parents’ home in Baiereck, Catharina1.5:1 Stiefel gave birth in October 1782 to an illegitimate daughter noted in the Baltmannsweiler Parish register as Anna Maria Stiefel. Anna Maria1.4:1 had her First Communion in the parish in 1796 at the usual age and was married there in 1815 at the age of 33. 176 Catharina1.5:1 Stiefel married at the age of 28 and was a farmwife in Baltmannsweiler from 1785 through at least 1800. During this period she had eight children, four daughters and four sons. At least three daughters – Catharina, Regina and Dorothea – survived to marry and live in Württemberg. Her eldest son – Johannes – relocated to Russia, and another son – Johann Georg – married and lived nearby. The other three offspring – Jakob Friederich, Johann Georg (the first by this name) and Barbara – all died young. This mortality may not have been unusual. In 1765 it was written that “In Germany…peasant and poor die without ever having employed the slightest remedy. No one ever thinks of the doctor, partly because he is too far away, partly…because he is too expensive.” 177 17.5 JOHANNES PRACHT was baptized in Baltmannsweiler 6 Nov. 1760, son of Anna Maria (Stoehler)17.6 and Christian49.6 Pracht.

Matrilineal (mtDNA) Ancestry of Cecilia Lockwood
GENETIC GENEALOGY Genetic genealogy today is fundamentally of three types. Each works by assessing and comparing a specific type of our DNA with that of others. Assessing the Y-chromosome (YDNA) of men for their one all-paternal line is most common. Understanding the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of either men or women for their single all-maternal lineage is also very useful. Comparing the autosomal DNA (atDNA) of men or women to discover near cousins also can help grow each family tree. Y-DNA testing, the most widely known of these methods, provides information from a man's single Y chromosome, found in the nucleus of his cells, which is present only in males and inherited from the father. This testing captures more frequent changes in certain DNA and therefore is most useful over a relatively shorter time frame, such as for several generations. These results are for the one all-paternal line of a family – son to father, grandfather, and so forth. They show a man’s individual pattern within a more general, shared “gene type” or “haplotype.” Interest in Y-DNA testing is basically for two pursuits, following surname lineages (such as "DuBose") or geographical lineages (such as for "French heritage"). mtDNA testing looks specifically at the DNA found in our cell's mitochondria, which are passed on to both men and women from our mothers. Our mtDNA therefore represents our single all-maternal line – son or daughter to mother and her female ancestors – and so typically includes many family names. This type of DNA changes relatively slowly and therefore reaches to hundreds and thousands of years past, best representing deeper family group history or longerterm migration patterns. As has been described, this mtDNA assessment can indicate the likely region and ethnic group of our earliest discoverable maternal ancestor. This is accomplished by comparing an extended set of mtDNA test results to those from other individuals and ancestral groups. Specifically, a person’s “mtDNA exact matches may be recent, but they may also be hundreds or thousands of years in the past.” 202 For the testing available for Cecilia Lockwood, for example, another person matching her exactly would have a 50% confidence interval of that common ancestor being at five generations (about 125 years, assuming 25 years per generation) and a 95% confidence at 22 generations (about 550 years). Celia’s “gene group” or haplogroup K result indicates a European ancestry dating about 25,000 years into prehistory, and indicates even more ancient ancestry in what is today the Near and Middle East, millennia before any extensive European population even existed. 203

Matrilineal (mtDNA) Ancestry of Cecilia Lockwood
ANCESTRAL LINES PAIRING A relatively new and comprehensive system significantly aids record-keeping, analysis, and display of relationships from the three most-common types of personal genetic testing – organizing lineages by generation for ancestors and descendants of any reference individual, presentable in easily read and understood formats. This can be for paternal-line (Y-DNA), maternal-line (mtDNA) and near-cousins (atDNA) studies. Adopting a traditional, patrilineal format, each direct all-male lineage is easily compared between Y-DNA-tested men. Using a matrilineal format, direct maternal lineages are highlighted for and between mtDNA-tested women or men. Employing either format, the system also organizes recent-generation cousins suggested from autosomal atDNA testing. For this matrilineal ancestry, the Ancestral Lines system is used to display component lines, generations and siblings. The system is based on a patented development, 204 and has been summarized in an initial publication 205 as follows: A new ancestral numbering system has been developed that visibly displays component lines and generations of pedigrees in either text or chart formats. This “Ancestral Lines Pairing System” meets essential requirements of being easy to read and understand while maintaining the integrity of its unique indicators, and of recording relationships briefly with as much useful information as possible. All ancestors are individually numbered without first compiling a comprehensive set or naming every individual. The new system first organizes and numbers each direct Line in a manner ideally suited to presenting these as continuous ancestral lineages – setting and maintaining the direct “ancestor line” numbers. It next visibly numbers successive Generations along each Line as simply as possible, with each father's and mother’s Generation number always being one greater than the Generation number of their children. Line numbers are added in the new system at one half the rate individuals are added in the Ahnentafel method, and the same smaller numbers continue to be used into the deeper ancestries. These therefore are not merely “index” locator numbers; they also clearly convey additional information beginning with the individual’s family Line and Generation. The Ancestral Lines Pairing System – Ancestral Lines for short – is particularly well suited for displaying ancestral lineages in a variety of formats. These reflect some of the more important considerations a genealogist should address in selecting and applying a numbering system. The initial Lines and Generations calculated for direct ancestors, displayed in a two-number format, can be used effectively in many applications. The next important alternative to consider is to build on this basic framework in a three-number format and uniquely number all Siblings and paternal or maternal half-Siblings of the direct ancestry consecutively. This assigns Sibling numbers continuously through all ancestral Pairings, using numbers representing temporal or other rankings appended to the calculated Line and Generation numbers of each direct Line. This fundamental alternative is particularly satisfactory for presenting any pedigree of direct ancestors and their full Siblings. Ancestral Lines readily supports both the Y-DNA and mtDNA studies often paired with traditional family research. These two distinct ancestral lineages are prominent and easily followed in the new system. Patrilineal Line 1 conveniently always represents the Y-DNA line, and Ancestral Lines’ straightforward Generational numbering matches with the testing companies’ and others’ supporting software formats that provide the probabilities of when a Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) is shared.

Matrilineal (mtDNA) Ancestry of Cecilia Lockwood Ancestral Lines is mathematically based and readily computerized. Numbers given to the Maternal Lines paired in each Generation are equal to the partner’s Paternal Line number plus a consistent “Generation Constant.” This added number increases for all Lines in each ancestral Generation, growing as should be expected as multiples (or powers) of the “coupling” number, two.
When the all-male, paternal lineage is represented as Line 1, the all-female, maternal lineage has as its sequence of family numbers the “powers of two” – Lines 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so forth. In this highly symmetrical organizing system, when the all-female, maternal lineage is represented as Line 1, as suggested for mtDNA studies, numbering for the all-male, paternal lineage “switches places” and has as its sequence of family numbers the same “powers of two.” The branching family line numbers also remain the same in the system, so that those numbers are the same whichever gender is placed along Line 1. This always numbers initial Line 1 branches as Lines 2, 3, 5, 9, 17 and 33 (from the sums of 1+1, 1+2, 1+4, 1+8, 1+16 and 1+32).
