Bedford Branches

The following are the known male branches of the Bedford line. For our purposes a branch would begin with the sons of the 1st generation. If there was only one son then we would start with the sons in the 2nd generation and so on. We would like to test at least one individual from each branch. The red highlighted entries are branches for which we do not have test participants. Of course, we will accept any Davenport participants but especially need the non-highlighted branches. Note: Not enough is known about this line yet in order to establish organized branches.

Y-DNA Test Results

The Bedford descendants belong to Haplogroup R-BY3957 These are the Y-DNA results to-date of the participants descended from the Bedford Davenports. The different row colors represent the separate branches of the line.  Click on the Kit # to view more information about the individual Davenport linage.  The Modal haplotype is what we believe the Y-DNA of the line looks like based on current results.  Red and blue cells show where an individual varies from the modal. Red indicates movement upward, while blue downward. Combined pink cells represent “connected” markers where the actual difference is counted as one.

The link below will bring up a large spreadsheet like listing of the results of all the Projects Y-DNA STR Results. The Bedford Davenport line is in Group 80.

To get the best view of your results and how they compare with others in your line, it will be necesary to view them on our public page at FTDNA. So follow these instructions.

1. Go to this Full Chart FamilyTreeDNA – Davenport Surname DNA Project. This should open a new page and tab, so you can still return to this page if needed.
2. In the heading on the left change the first two boxes to match These:

3. Type in “80” in the third box, and click on the magnifier.

This should bring up the result of your subgroup – 80 Bedford Davenports
