        Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup E-Z6018 17,000 Years Ago

        George FREENEY Jr's paternal lineage belongs to the E-Z6018 branch of haplogroup E, which is prevalent in regions south of the Sahara. The haplogroup originated approximately 17,000 years ago in habitable areas of western Africa, during a period when much of the continent experienced extreme dryness due to Ice Age climate conditions. Thousands of years later, individuals carrying the E-Z6018 haplogroup migrated throughout sub-Saharan Africa, driven by advancements in agriculture and iron-working in the region.

        George FREENEY Jr's paternal haplogroup, E-Z6018, can be traced back to an individual who lived less than 17,000 years ago, approximately 680 generations ago.

        Today, E-Z6018 is relatively uncommon, with only approximately 1 in 5,600 23andMe customers sharing this haplogroup assignment. George FREENEY Jr. shares this haplogroup with other men who are paternal-line descendants of the common ancestor of E-Z6018, including other 23andMe customers.

        Scott DEVEREAUX was born enslaved in Wrightsboro, Georgia, USA in 1792. He settled in the Republic of Texas with his owner in 1842. He died a free man in Camden, Rusk County, Texas some time after 1867.

        George Edward FREENEY Jr. possesses a paternal haplogroup identified as E-Z6018, which is relatively rare among individuals who have taken the 23andMe DNA test. Out of 5,600 customers who have received their haplogroup assignment from 23andMe, only one shares the E-Z6018 haplogroup with George. This indicates a shared ancestry with other men who are paternal-line descendants of a common ancestor carrying the E-Z6018 haplogroup, including (2) other individuals within the 23andMe customer database, and enslaved men owned by Charles DEVEREAUX I, John William DEVEREUX, and Julien Sidney DEVEREUX beginning in the 1700s.

        The inheritance of this haplogroup can be traced back through generations, as it was passed down from George's father, who in turn received an identical Y chromosome from his own father, and so forth.

        In the context of George Edward FREENEY Jr's genetic genealogy, his reported DNA Connection with Vindell Marvin FREENEY and his paternal grandfather, Jim FREENEY, further confirms biological family connection. All members of the FREENEY family have acknowledged and confirmed their knowledge of George as George Jr.

        Based on existing documentation and family recollections, Scott DEVEREAUX is recognized as George Edward FREENEY Jr.'s 4th biological great-grandfather. It's worth noting that descending men from the lineage of Scott DEVEREAUX share the same paternal haplogroup, E-Z6018.

        These findings, supported by extant records and family accounts, provide extreme confidence in George Edward FREENEY Jr's biological connection to Scott DEVEREAUX through DNA Match shared segments, and the presence of the E-Z6018 haplogroup. Proving living, descending male lineages of the enslaved DEVEREAUX descedants.
