The Bush Line

Hugh1, Robt2, Robt3-1805, AJ4-1843, AJBush5-1867

Allen J. Bush contacted the Duggan DNA Project for a review of DNA matches related to his Bush
line and a possible connection to the Duggan family. Allen’s great-grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth
Bush (1846 - 1933) lived in Jefferson Co., Tennessee, next to Sevier Co. This matriarch never
formally married the father of her three sons, but oral tradition suggested that Andrew Jackson
Duggan was their father. Allen wanted to know whether it was possible to determine whether
that information was accurate—was his great-grandfather a Duggan?

Hugh Duggan, born around 1740 (Hugh1)1, and his wife Margaret Wilson had several sons who
obtained occupancy land grants in Sevier Co., TN between 1787 and 1810. One younger son died
young, leaving a widow Jean. Other sons Hugh2, Wm2, Dan2 and
John2 migrated south and west through Blount into Monroe Co.
and beyond, and their
sons followed. Robert
Duggan, born around
1766 (Robt2) married
Margaret Dunn. Robt2
was the only Duggan
son to remain in Sevier
County, as did most of
his children and their
families, although one of his daughters moved to Bradley Co.,
another moved to Cocke Co., and one son moved to Jefferson Co.

Robert Duggan II (Robt3) was born around 1805. He married

Cassandra Dunn, likely a relative of his mother. Cassandra was
born in Kentucky, and after the birth of their first child, Robt3 and
his wife spent several years in Missouri, where four sons were
born, including a son Andrew Jackson Duggan, b. 1843 (AJ4-
1843). By 1846 the family was back in Tennessee, where the last
three children were born.
Robt3 was on the Sevier Co. census in 1850, but he moved the
family to neighboring Jefferson Co. before he died in 1852. Three of their sons also died by 1853.
Cassandra stayed on in Jefferson County after her husband’s death, and raised her family there.
The oldest child, daughter Malissa, married Benjamin Garner in Jefferson Co. in 1854. Stewart
“Hamilton”, Andrew “Jackson”, Lemuel, and daughter Elizabeth were all still at home with
Cassandra in 1860, on the Jefferson Co. Census. This is the only Duggan family known to have
been in Jefferson Co. (where Sarah Bush resided) during this era.

The numeric suffix on an abbreviated Duggan name shows the generation, beginning with Hugh1; his sons are
generation 2, his grandchildren are generation 3, etc. Beginning in the third generation, a hyphen and date show
the assumed year of birth, to distinguish multiple persons of the same generation with the same first name.

Stewart Hamilton Duggan died in the civil war, unmarried, as reflected by a Pension application
filed by Cassandra in 1869. As a Widow, dependent on an unmarried son for support, that pension
was granted to her. This left
Cassandra with four living
children. Daughters Malissa
(Garner) and Elizabeth (Poe)
would both marry and leave
large families, as would
Lemuel. But the history for
AJ4-1843 is harder to track.
We know that he, like his
older brother, enrolled in the
Union army in the Civil War,
and that he survived that war.
His whereabouts in the years
following the war are unclear.

2
AJ4-1843 has not been found on the 1870 or 1880 census. We have no documentation of where
he was living from 1865 through 1888. It was during this same period that Sarah Bush was having
her children. It is possible that AJ4-1843 was working on the Bush
farm, and that each household assumed that he was being included
with the other household for purposes of the census. Absent new
records coming to light, this gap may never be explained.
If AJ4-1843 was the father of the Bush children, the relationship with
Sarah did not last forever. In 1888, in nearby Cocke Co., at almost 45
years of age, AJ4 married Eliza France, with whom he would have
one child, Walter C. Duggan. In 1891 AJ was listed as registered voter
in Jefferson Co., but in 1900 and 1910 the family appears on the
Cocke Co. Census. Walter was born around 1890. He is with his
parents in Cocke Co. in 1900, at about 10 years of age.

At age 20, Walter was still home in 1910, and AJ4 lived next
to several of members of the France family. Walter would
marry and appear on future census records with his wife,
but there is no evidence that they ever had children.

Although traditional research has

failed to track AJ4 during the 20-
year interval following the Civil War,
family tradition suggests that he and
Sarah Bush had an ongoing relationship, and that they had a family together. Sarah’s first-born
son, and the ultimate patriarch of this family, was “Andrew Jackson” Bush – suggesting strongly
the link to AJ4. If the family lore is true, we may never know why they did not marry, but perhaps
DNA can at least tell us whether the family lore is true – was Andrew Jackson Duggan the father
of Andrew Jackson Bush?

 I. The Y-Test
Allen Bush is a male-line descendant of the oldest son of Sarah Bush. Allen’s father was Henry Claude
Bush. His father was Andrew Jackson Bush. If AJ4-1843 was the father of Andrew Jackson Bush, and
assuming no other non-Duggans in
his paternal line through Hugh1,
Allen should share the same Y-
Haplogroup as the other male line
descendants of Hugh1. Because
several of the Duggan men in our
Project have taken this test, we
have the ability to do that
comparison. Allen’s Y-Haplogroup
was I-M223, which was a match.
Duggans are not the only lines that
have this Haplogroup, but it is a relatively rare haplogroup. Any other result on the Y-test would have
been a clear indication that the Bush line did NOT descend from the Duggan line, but the match created
a presumption that they did share a paternal line.

All other straight-line Duggan males in our Project who have tested shared this result. The chart below
represents the Y-Test results that we have confirmed, and includes the line of descent (from Hugh1) for
those who are his descendants. This chart includes all “0” variant matches, and one “1” Variant match for

Y-37 Down, Ireland I-M223
descendant of Robt2 to test (the
first through his son Robt3), and the same result had been seen by descendants of Wm2, Dan2, Hugh2
and GW3. Recently Charles Duggan provided a test as a John2 descendant, providing confirming Y-Hap
data through descendants of all six sons of Hugh1. Two of Allen’s sons also tested. Since the testing began,

4
more sophisticated tests have further refined the Y-Hap assignment. Two of our Duggan kits were
submitted for the more extensive testing, and Allen’s son Douglas also had the advanced testing, all
providing a consistant haplogroup result. So how far does this Y-Test take us?
• Failing to share the same haplogroup as our known straight male-line Duggan descendants would
have excluded the Bush line from being Duggan descendants. Because we have the male lines of
at all known sons of Hugh1 showing the identical Y-haplogroup2, we know that all male line
descendants from this family should share that same Y-haplogroup. Failure to show the I-M223
(or more advanced I-Y7273) result would have eliminated Duggan paternity for Allen, and
presumably for A.J. Bush, just as certainly as some combinations of blood types would not be
possible between a parent and a child. But that did not happen. Allen Bush and his sons share the
same Y-gene as all of our Duggan line men.

• This still does not give us a 100% positive identification. Descendants of Hugh1 are not the only
ones in the world that have these same Y-markers. The Y-Test is not like a fingerprint; taken alone
it does not absolutely establish Duggan paternity. Other male lines (outside of Hugh1
descendants) share this haplogroup.

• 23andME reports that the I-M223 haplogroup is seen rarely, only 1 in 82,000 men show this
haplogroup. For Allen to show this particular Y-haplogroup, and to have lived near the Duggans,
and for there to have been NO others in the area (to date) reflecting that Y-haplogroup other than
Duggans, dramatically raises the likelihood that Allen’s line descends from Hugh1.

• But even if the Y-test shows a tremendous likelihood that Allen is a descendant of Hugh1, in
addition to not being a 100% guarantee of that fact, the Y-test alone also does not help identify
where Allen would belong in Hugh1’s family tree.
With this, we move to the next phase. The Y-test confirmed that the Bush line was likely descended from
Hugh1, in that they share an identical Y-Haplogroup, on all markers tested. But that is just one of 23
chromosomes. In reviewing autosomal test results—which look at the other 22 chromsomes, we look for
matching DNA between Allen and other known descendants of Hugh1, and we look at the size of those
matches. This will give us a way to confirm from a different perspective whether Allen shares DNA with
Duggan descendants, and it will tell us which Duggans Allen is most closely related to, thus helping to
place Allen in the Duggan family tree.

Absent mutation, the Y-Chr of a male passes from father to son, without alteration, from generation to generation.
The X-Chr of a male passes from father to daughter, without alteration for one generation. A male has the XY
combination – he has one strand of X (from his mother) and one strand of Y (from his father). Having only one ‘strand’
of each, it passes out its entirety, without recombination or change (absent mutation). A mother, however, has no
Y-Chr and begins with the XX combination –having received one X-Chr from each parent. She passes an X-Chr to a
son (contributing the “X” to his XY) and she passes an X-Chr to a daughter (contributing one “X” to her daughter’s
XX). The difference, however, is that because the mother starts with the XX, in each case she ‘recombines’ the two
into one…literally cutting and splicing the two into one X-Chr, thus sending out half of her X-DNA (as one recombined
X), and leaving the other half on the cutting room floor. Each child gets about half of the X from each maternal
grandparent. Thus, the X-Chr from the mother changes at each generation. While an X-Chr from a father to a
daughter passes without combination for one generation, it will be subject to recombination when the daughter
passes it on. ONLY the Y-Chr escapes recombination, generation after generation. The same Y-Chr of Hugh1 passed
to his six sons. Each of them passed it to his own sons, and so on through the generations, so that each of the
individual male-line descendants in our Y-Chart above have the same Y-Chr—all identical to the one Hugh1 passed
down (at least as to the markers tested). Allen Bush also shares the same Y-markers.

 II. Autosomal Test – The 22 Chromosomes
A. Placing Allen Bush as a Descendant of Andrew J. Bush b. 1843
Allen Bush also did an Autosomal Test, which looks at parts of the ‘other’ 22 chromosomes. His kit has
been uploaded (so that we can look for matches with others) onto AncestryDNA, 23andME, ftDNA,
MyHeritage and GedMatch.com. Insodoing we were able to compare his DNA to known and self described
‘Duggan’ cousins on each of those services and determine the extent to which they shared the same DNA
sequences. What we found was overwhelming evidence that:
(i) Allen is genetically related to the descendants of Hugh1, and
(ii) His Duggan line is almost certainly through AJ4-1843.
We drew the first inference simply based on of the number and quality of the DNA segments that Allen
shares with other Duggan descendants. The list is extensive, and attached as Appendix 1. Note that a few
of those matches are likely INMAN matches (not Duggan), and are marked accordingly. We may find other
side matches as we work, and will note those along the way. Even so, the size of the matches, and the
strength of connection between Allen and multiple lines of descent from Hugh1 leaves no question as to
his genetic connection to this family. (See Appendix 1). We drew the second inference from a series of
observations about the data, focusing on which descendants of Hugh1 that Allen matched most closely.

(a) Allen’s best matches, over all, are descendants of Robt2. The child of Hugh1 whose descendants show
the best matches to Allen is Robt2. This data is so significant, as it is left no doubt that Robt2 is Allen’s
ancestor. The following chart lists only Allen’s matches to Robt2 descendants. The Total cM chart shows
the total amoutn of cM shared, being the total of matches of 6 cM or more – and most of these matches
are much more signifcant.

(b) The size of Allen’s matches with known descendants of Robt3 places Allen in Robt3’s line. Allen’s single
best match (among those identified to date who had uploaded to Gedmatch) was a descendant of Robt3-
1805 (who was a son of Robt2 & his wife Margaret Dunn), named Billie Cody. Allen’s matches to Billie
Cody total about 152 cM. To share this much DNA, Billie is likely a second cousin once removed to Allen.3
Billie’s line of descent is throught Elizabeth Duggan Poe, b. 1854. She was a younger sister of AJ Duggan,
and a daughter of Robt3-1805. We know that Allen’s Duggan line is a straight male line descent—Elizabeth
is not Allen’s direct ancestor—but given the size of this match, it was clear that one of her brothers was.
The match is ‘too good’ to be more remote than through Robt3-1805 and his wife Cassandra Dunn, thus
they must be the most recent common ancestors (MRCA) for Billie Cody and Allen Bush.

3
It turns out they are third cousins.

6
(c) Allen’s line must be through AJ-1843 or Lemuel-1850. Because of the Y-Test results, we know that
Allen’s line flows through one of Robt3’s sons, but only his sons AJ Duggan and Lemuel Duggan survived
the Civil War, and AJ Bush was born in 1867.

(d) Lemuel was not the father of AJ Bush. Lemuel was a bit young to have been the father of AJ Bush. He
would have been about six years younger than Sarah, only 16 when AJ Bush was conceived, and still living
at home with his own momma at the time. But we still looked at that possiblity. We were able to test the
theory (with DNA) that Lemuel might have been the father of AJ Bush because Lemuel had descendants
who have done DNA tests. We found Lemuel’s granddaughter – Adeline Duggan Rafferty – on ftDNA. We
found one of her granddaughters there as well, and one of her grandsons on Ancestry. Only Adeline’s
granddaugther was also on GedMatch. Comparing their tests to Allen’s suggests that AJ Bush and Victor
Blaine Duggan were cousins, rather than half-siblings. If Victor and AJ Bush had been half-siblings, then
the match between Adeline and Allen wolld have been much bigger. The chart therefore looks like this:

Adeline tested with ftDNA, and her results are not on GedMatch. But we can still compare Allen to her.
We uploaded a copy of Allen’s results to ftDNA and found Adeline there. FtDNA has a chromsome browser,
and they reported the cMs shared between the two. We adjusted the shared cMs reported by FtDNA to
make them consistent with standardized ranges. Allen and Adeline share 131 cM, as adjusted. Adeline’s

FtDNA notoriously counts every shred of ‘matching’ dna as a match, even slivers so tiny that they are probably not
matches at all—they may cross match over maternal and paternal strands, leading to false matches. FtDNA claims
Allen and Adeline shared over 170 cM, but we eliminated segments less than 6 cM, a reasonable threshold. Note all
of the matches greyed out are under 6 cM. You can see this same inflation when you look at her granddaughter
Jennifer’s kit – ftDNA reports her at 108, but GedMatch reports that the same kit (it was uploaded directly from
ftDNA to GedMatch) shares 69 cM with Allen. GedMatch has already taken out what would be the ‘gray’ slivers.

5
If Lemuel had fathered AJ Bush, then Victor Duggan and AJ Bush would have been half siblings (@1800 cM), and
Adeline and Henry (Allen’s father) would have been ‘half’ first cousins (@ 460 cM), making Adeline and Allen ½ 1C1R
(@ 230 cM of real matches… and the way ftDNA measures, it would have had them at close to 400 cM). Adeline
passed away in 2013. We are grateful to the person who had the foresight to encourage her to contribute her DNA
test, for genealogical posterity, as hers is a sixth generation kit, which is quite rare.

DNA matches to descendants to Robt3-1805, the Y-Test, and comparisons to Elizabeth Duggan Poe and
Lemuel Duggan descendants all help us conclude that Andrew J. Duggan was the father of Andrew J. Bush.

B. Examining Allen’s Matches with Duggan Descendants

Before be begin a close examination of Allen’s matches, it is important to study his family tree. Knowing
the other branches of his family tree will help us to spot collateral line matches. If Allen and a Duggan
descendant share a line (other than their Duggan line) their matches may be coming from that collateral
line shared ancestry, and should be clarified as such. We want to take care that the matches we attribute
to Allen as being from his Duggan ancestry are indeed from a Duggan line! So here is a peek at Allen’s
family tree, including his projected Duggan branch. There is NOT a lot of overlap with other lines we
commonly see. One advantage we have is that Allen’s family was in Jefferson County, so there will be less
overlap with other Jeffereson County families than we typically see. Allen’s entire maternal tree looks
unfamiliar (compared to other Duggans in the study). The most likely source of collateral line matches
may be the Inman-Chilton line, highlighted below.

Only one-eighth of Allen’s DNA will have originated with AJ Bush’s father. We are focusing on the
segments where Allen ‘matches’ other Duggan descendants because those segments are most
likely to be Duggan in origin, and thus related to that one-eighth. Much of that one-eighth will be
so fragmented that we won’t be able to map it at this point.

Our objective is to identify as much of Allen’s Duggan DNA as we can, test those segments to be
sure that they appear Duggan in origin, and thus confirm in another manner his placement in the
tree. We would expect to find significant Dunn matches, because both Robt3 and Robt2 married
into the Dunn family. As a result, we should find more Dunn matches than Duggan matches.
Because the Ancestry of Cassandra and Margaret Dunn is not settled, this may help resolve their
family of origin as well.

We can now go to the Match list generated from GedMatch as a start. This is simply a list of
matches between Allen and known Duggan descendants. From this list we will select some
significant matches that we want to look at more carefully, and see what those individual
matches tell us about the relationship between Allen and the Duggans.

The chart above indicates the matches with kits uploaded to Gedmatch between Allen and Hugh1
descendants. Since only a fraction of them have registered their kits on Gedmatch, this is quite a
significant list. Here are my observations about these matches.
• Allen has at least four separate portions along Chr-20 where he has Duggan matches.
• Part 1 runs from segments (“Seg”) 1-96. The match with Billie Cody is largest,
(MCRA=Duggan-Dunn), Naomi has no known Dunn ancestry (MCRA=Duggan-Wilson), but
that is smaller and could be a false match.
• Part 2 overlaps Part 1 for part of the matches, but Seg 8 -26 is shared by descendants of
Robt2, John2, Marg2, Wm2, and Hugh2 and GW3 (MCRA=Duggan-Wilson).
• Part3 runs from Seg 29- 41 and is shared by descendants of Hugh2, Robt2, Marg2, Wm2,
John2 and GW3 (MCRA Duggan-Wilson).
• Part 4, from Seg 49- 61, is shared by desc. of Wm2 and Marg2 (MCRA=Duggan-Wilson).7

Descendants of each child of Hugh1, other than Dan2, share parts of these Chr-20 matches, and
Allen Bush matches each segment described above, evidencing shared Duggan DNA. There is not
common ancestor that explains these four shared segments, other than the Duggan ancestors.

6
Segments are referenced in millions, so that segment 1 means the first 1,000,000 spots on the Chromosome.
7
The last two listed, from 56-59 and 59- 61 could be collateral line matches (and the last could be a Dunn match).
