Unraveling Undocumented Adoptions
Or
Who Was Glover Farrow?
In
the DNA world, we have something called a Nonpaternal Event, shortened
to NPE. This is a confusing
term that means that the Y-line DNA of the person who tested is not what
it was expected to be. In
other words, it means that it didn't match the surname line it was
expected to match. Of
course, the first thing that everyone thinks is that Granny was fooling
around - but in reality - this is seldom the case.
I
call these events "undocumented adoptions".
The reason is that clearly an adoption of some type happened.
Maybe the couple knew about it - in the situation where they took
a child of a family member or neighbor to raise.
Or maybe only Mom knew about it - Daddy didn't.
Or maybe both knew it, in the case of a rape, but both decided to
simply raise the child in an atmosphere of love and make the best of the
situation. Regardless of
the circumstances, the adoption occurred, the child took a surname not
his biologically and several generations later - we discovered the
mismatch via DNA testing.
The
exception to this is the illegitimate birth where the child takes the
mother's surname. Even in
this situation, if she ever married, sometimes the child then takes the
step-father's surname, yet another type of undocumented adoption.
A hint that this might have occurred is when the first child's
birth year is before or the same as the marriage year of the parents.
Sometimes
when we received these DNA results, we can go back look at the records
we have available, sort through with "new eyes", and find the
information, or at least hints, that we were missing before.
This
leads me to the mystery of Glover Farrow, and how we solved it.
Of course, like all good mysteries, there are several people
involved, all with a piece of information and no one with all of them.
It took cooperation and collaboration to put those pieces
together to get an answer.
This
story begins with another family member, not Glover Farrow himself.
It begins with William Bunyan Midgett, born Feb. 15, 1861 in
Rodanthe to Andrew Shanklin Hooper and Christiana W. Midyett.
He took his mother's maiden name, as was the custom then, for
children born out of wedlock. In
fact, we know who his father was, because Christiana was hauled into
court three weeks before William was born and made to confess the name
of the father. William Shanklin Hooper married another woman about 2 months
later, in Currituck County. So
William was raised by his Midgett grandparents (his mother died when he
was young) and ultimately married Alvania Staten Midgett in July of
1892.
While
out-of-wedlock births weren't terribly unusual, they certainly weren't
socially accepted, and the birth status sometimes hung over the person
for their lifetime like a cloud. Often, they married other people who were also blessed with a
similar cloud.
The
census is the standard way of reconstructing families.
The 1890 census was destroyed, but otherwise, the census
beginning in 1850 lists all family members and often other information
as well about the various individuals.
Unfortunately, it is sometimes mute where it shouldn't be, names
are misspelled, ages vary widely for the same person from census to
census, and sometimes info is just wrong or omitted.
However, in general, it's one of the best tools we have and we
can then use other info to corroborate the census info, or to dispute
it.
Kay
Lynn Sheppard has been one of my angels during the reconstruction of the
Hatteras Families for the Hatteras DNA projects.
Better yet, she is a Midgett herself so is "the" best
expert I've found. As the
hostess for several genealogy lists online, she is a wealth of
information. Looking for
info about William Bunyan Midgett (who is really genetically a Hooper),
I turned to Kay.
Kay
was kind enough to send me her accumulated family info on William
Midgett, including his children. The first child listed was Glover Farrow born December 1889.
This tells me that the information was from the 1900 census,
where each person was listed with their birth month and year.
More children followed, beginning in 1894, following William
Midgett and Alvania Midgett's 1892 marriage.
The assumption was that Glover Farrow must be the child of
Alvania Midgett from a prior relationship.
The thing that didn't look right to me was that the child had the
surname Farrow. In that
time period, it was very rare for an illegitimate child to take the
father's surname, although not unheard of.
And remember, the census can be wrong.
Maybe the child's name was Glover Farrow Midgett?
I
asked Kay Lynn about this, and she sent me some additional information
that was contributed to her, as follows from a letter:
"...Glover was not a Midgett. He was born in Frisco.
Aunt Zella Daily Simpson thinks he was a Farrow. She says she
never saw too much of him when she was growing up because he always
worked away from home. She says Aunt Alvania loved him like he was
hers but he never went by the name Midgett. He eventually moved
away and stayed and she doesn't know anything about a wife or
children..."
This
seems to fit with someone moving away to perhaps escape the local stigma
of illegitimacy.
I
had also copied Dawn Taylor, with the Hatteras Genealogical Society and
one of our researchers, on this and she provided the next tidbit, but it
was confusing. She sent an
obituary.
Darlington,
SC - Isaac Grover Farrow, 75, of Myrtle Beach and formerly of
Darlington, died Sunday afternoon in a Myrtle Beach hospital after a
long illness. Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday at 11
a.m. in Kistler Funeral Home here by Rev. William S. Jones. Burial will
be in Grove Hill Cemetery. Mr. Farrow was born in Frisco, NC., and
lived and worked in New York City for several years before retiring in
Myrtle Beach five years ago. Surviving are the widow. Mrs. Jessie
S. Farrow; a daughter, Mrs. R.C. Maus of Anaheim, Calif., and six
grandchildren.
However,
this man was referred to as Isaac Grover Farrow, not Glover Farrow.
Was it the same man? Dawn
then found his wife's obituary which helped immensely as well, and all
of this contributed information helped Kay Lynn to find the rest of the
story, which she tells as she put it together as a complete picture.
The 2 obits
have helped me to get a handle on Grover/Glover Farrow, who I'm pretty
sure was the son of Christopher B. Farrow & Lavinia F. Gray who
married in 1876. They had Olivia/Alevia Stowe Farrow in 1880,
Redin Cross Farrow in 1887 and Isaac Grover Farrow in 1889.
Christopher
died less than a year after Isaac G. was born and I believe that Lavinia
died before 1900 because Redin was living with his sister Olivia and her
husband in 1900 and "Glover" was living with the Midgett
family. I think this was a case of small children being left
behind by the early deaths of their parents. What threw me was the
fact that he was called "Glover" in 1900 & 1910 and Isaac
"Grover" the rest of the time but I think the fact that he had
his 2 nieces with him in 1930 proves that he was the son of Christopher
& Lavinia.
Here are

So
what do we have here? Glover Farrow is really Isaac Grover Farrow.
He has been placed with his parents, Christopher B. Farrow and
Lavinia F. Gray. He was
raised by William Bunyan Midgett and Alvania Midgett, although we're not
quite sure why. Based on
the note about Alvania loving him as her own, it was surely a blessing
for him to be with that family if he could not be with his parents.
His DNA should match the Farrow DNA, barring any other surprises.
The
assumption that Glover might have been a child of Alvania's before her
marriage to William Midgett was incorrect, although that assumption
might be quite correct based on the evidence at hand in another similar
situation. William Midgett
had the social stigma of illegitimacy hanging over him, so that he might
marry a female in a similar situation would not be surprising - but
that's not what happened.
The
male children of William Bunyan Midgett carry the Midgett surname and
the Hooper DNA, just like William himself did.
Had
we stumbled upon this DNA sample without this knowledge, we would have
assumed that the Midgett historical DNA was represented by William
Bunyan Midgett. This is a
prime example of why we test multiple descendants of the earliest male
we can find - it verifies that no undocumented adoptions have occurred
and establishes the baseline DNA of the original ancestor in question.
Thank
you to everyone who contributed to solving this and so many other
puzzles. Do you have
genealogy information that might contribute to solving a mystery?
Share it and see!
Out and About
November
was a busy month for our volunteers.
Janet
Crain provided the Burnet County, Texas, Genealogy Society with a
presentation about the Lost Colony.
Also
in November, Jennifer Sheppard visited the Jamesville (NC) Middle School
and worked with Kristie Hardison's 8th Grade Social Studies class.
She provided them with an overview of the history of the Lost
Colony, along with sharing information about artifacts from Hatteras
Island from our recent archaeological digs.
In
the photo below, Ms. Hardison is at left, Jennifer Sheppard at right,
with the 8th grade students.
Revealing American Indian and Minority Heritage using Y-line,
Mitochondrial, Autosomal and X Chromosomal Testing Data Combined with
Pedigree Analysis
I'm
extremely pleased to let you know that my new academic paper has
recently been published. It's free in the Journal of Genetic
Genealogy sponsored by ISOGG. The index of the entire journal is
available at this link:
http://www.jogg.info/62/index.html
My
paper, titled "Revealing American Indian and Minority Heritage
using Y-line, Mitochondrial, Autosomal and X Chromosomal Testing Data
Combined with Pedigree Analysis" is at the link below:
http://www.jogg.info/62/files/Estes.pdf
I
have so desperately needed to refer people to this article over the past
18 months while it was awaiting publication. It's a long process.
I was invited to write this article in March of 2009 and it was
submitted a year ago with final revisions in July 2010.
It
will also be on my website shortly as well at www.dnaexplain.com
under the Publications tab. Lots of free goodies there too.
You
may ask why this is relevant to the search for the Lost Colonists.
The answer is simple. In
order to find the colonists, we need to understand the Native people who
inhabit Eastern North Carolina and Virginia, and we need to be able to
effectively use all of the tools available to us, including our own
pedigree charts. Combining
all of the tools available to us often reveals previously overlooked
information.
I
encourage each of you to read this article and apply the information it
contains to your own ancestor search.
The
February issue will contain news about a new discovery involving Native
American DNA, so stay tuned!!!
Newsletter Article Index
Making
this index for the past issues of the newsletter pointed out rather
dramatically how far we've come as a group - and how much incredible
research has been done by our members.
Good job everyone and let's keep up the good work.
I'll
ask Nelda to put a permanent index on the website under the Newsletter
heading and I'll keep it current each month.
While
you see my name on a good many articles, as the editor, many times I
synthesize information from various sources into an article.
So please, keep the information flowing.
If
you would like to write an article, or contribute data, please do so.
I greatly appreciate all submissions.
Sharing benefits us all.
