Miscellaneous

Daniel Slayden and his wife Ann Waller have been shown to be probable ancestors of Sherry L. Lawrence, Larry D. Lawrence, Max Meyerhardt (Engert), Michael Blackburn, and Jen Hurlbut.

Autosomal DNA segment matches from tests taken by these individuals at Family Tree DNA, other DNA testing companies, or whose test results were transferred to My Heritage DNA showed matching or overlapping DNA segments in common with Sherry L. Lawrence and Larry D. Lawrence.

Additionally, genealogical information is consistent with this determination.

Name Initials DNA Segment Range Centimorgans Chromosome
SLL 46,908,673 95,863,201 39.34 2

Matches in Common:
Sherry L. Lawrence: LDL, Michael Blackburn, and Jen Hurlbut
Larry D. Lawrence: SLL (Note: LDL does not include My Heritage results)
Michael Blackburn: SLL and Jen Hurlbut
Jen Hurlbut: SLL and Michael Blackburn
Max Meyerhardt: SLL (Note: Max Meyerhardt (Engert) only includes My Heritage results. Max Meyerhardt is 1st Lawrence cousin of SLL and LDL.)

Genealogy for matching individuals:
SLL, LDL, and MM: Arthur and Rachel Slayden - son Daniel and Ann Waller Slayden - son Arthur and Lucy Shelton Slayton - son Sanford G. and Mary Annabell Clark Slayton - daughter Lucy Caroline Slayton mar. Edwin Lysidus Lawrence
Michael Blackburn and Jen Hurlbut: Arthur b. 1704 d. 1787 mar. Rachel – son Daniel b. 1731 d. 1806 mar. Anne Waller – son Arthur mar. Lucy Shelton – son Sanford G mar. Mary Annabelle Clark – daughter Margaret Virginia Slayton mar. John Edward Dorgan

The validity of Daniel and Ann Slayden being a probable ancestor couple for this group is supported by Matches in Common and overlapping DNA segments.

The identity of Daniel and Ann Slayden as a ancestor couple of this group conforms to the DNA standards of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, in that all individuals have genealogically established direct lines of descendancy from Daniel and Ann Slayden and have matching DNA segments. The matches do have other genealogically common ancestor couples from direct line of Slayden/Shelton and Lawrence/Sherrill families, but no other family connections are known.

This group descends through Daniel and Ann Slayden's son Sanford G. Slayton and his wife Mary Annabell Clark Slayton and two of their daughters.
