Beasley DNA Update 3

It sounds like you have a good idea on how to format these different groups of Beezley/Beasley lines. One of my goals is to try to locate each of the Beasley/Beezley/Beesley's that came into America from early 1600's to the mid 1700's. Anything after that time frame will not be our link to early America because of so many later with that surname. It is also easier to find the early different lines because they were concentrated to a certain area with each family before they spread out. Since John, William, Solomon and James were used by these Beesley/Beezley/Beasley families, it is important to catch these families early in the 1600/1700's to track them.
To better understand how mutations work in a certain surname, look at the excel spreadsheet that I sent to you. In my group, we all come from Austin Beasley Sr. born 1755. Austin Sr. was married twice and had 4 boys by his first wife, Mary Guy who had passed in early1803. December of 1803, Austin Sr. married Polley Mary Hollingsworth Carroll (20 years his junior) and has 5 more children with two boys, Bass b: 1804 and Austin Jr. b: 1812. In my yDNA group, Lon and Ned are from Bass Beasley's line through his son Daniel James Beasley. Rickey, Clayton, my son Jarod and myself come from Bass' younger brother Austin Jr. Jarod and I have a mutation at allele marker number 449 which you notice #449 is in red or this marker mutates faster than the normal mutation rate.. Notice that Rickey, Ned and Lon did not have a mutation at #449 but Jarod and I did and Rickey, Jarod and I are from Austin Jr's line and Lon and Ned are from Austin Jr's older brother Bass' line. This means that the mutation happened after the two sons of Austin Jr. which were Everett Bass Beasley and his younger brother George Russell Beasley, my great grandfather. So my mutation happened from George Russell Beasley to me since my son and I have a perfect match of 67 out of 67 markers. I am 6 generations from Austin Sr. through his son Austin Jr., Lon is 8 generations from Austin Sr. though his son Bass Beasley. Lon's yDNA matches my yDNA 66 out of 67 markers or one mutation in 254 years from Austin Sr's birth of 1755. Now comes the kicker. Ned Beasley is 7 generations from Austin Sr. through his son Bass Beasley and Ned did not have a mutation at #449 along with Lon and Rickey but Ned had 2 additional mutations at #576 ( a fast mutating allele) and #534, a slower mutating allele. Even though Ned is one generation closer from Austin Sr. to me than Lon is, and Ned and Lon come from Austin Sr's son Bass' line, Lon and I only have 1 mutation off in 254 years. Lon is 2 mutations off from Ned and again, both from Bass Beasley's line
What I am trying to say is Ned and I are 3 mutations off or match 64 out of 67 markers and share a common ancestor within 254 years, confirmed. So, look again at your Blue group and not one of you are more than 2 mutations off from each other and again, look at my cousin Ned and I with a confirmed linage to Austin Sr. 1755. Your common ancestor maybe closer than you think.... Please post this info on our Beasleygenealogy site so that all our family in our Beezley group will see how mutation rates have worked in my line. Thank you Doug. Hope this helps explain the process a little...
