DNA – How to Share Your Ancestry DNA
How to share your Golden descendant DNA so more can be learned about our family history before 1800.
Thomas Golden (Patriarch), of Newberry, South Carolina, born before 1735
Our family story begins about 1760 in Newberry, South Carolina with a farmer by the name of Thomas Goulden or Thomas Golden.
Thomas Golden was born before 1741 based upon him being nominated for a land grant in 1762, which should have required him to be age 21+ at that time. If presumed son William was born about 1750 and possible daughter Elender Golden was born about 1745 then Thomas would have probably been born before 1725, or thereabouts at the latest. Where Thomas was born is unknown.
Notes – Godwin / Goodwin
Thomas Godwin (Bridger), born c1640 at New Kent, New Kent, Virginia; Death 27 May 1713-1714 at Suffolk, Nansemond, Virginia. Multiple DNA matches link two lines of our Goldens with Thomas Godwin’s descendants, which are themselves named Godwin. DNA matches exist with male descendants of Nathanael Greene Golden (b1783) and Samuel Golden (b1770 SC).
Ancestry DNA: Possible Golden or Golding kin? Can help search through it.
Goldens, Keelings, Gouldmans and others that may be kin: Taken a DNA test but NOT sure how to make sense of it? Would be glad to take a look and see what matches I can find.
