Julia Fleming's Mitochondrial DNAJulia Fleming was born 31 Mar 1752 and died 28 Nov 1823. She married Church Ballentine (1752-1804) on September 5, 1782, in Southampton County, Virginia. This page traces descendants through her daughters.Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited from mother to child. Men have mtDNA, which they inherit from their mothers, but they don't pass it on to the next generation. Mutations in this DNA are rare, and it has therefore been used extensively to trace ancient migrations of populations, thousands of years ago. In general, it's less useful for genealogy than the more rapidly mutating Y-DNA, but there is still some information to be gained from it. Julia Fleming is my earliest known female-line ancestor, so I have her mitochondrial DNA. Her mother, whoever she might have been, also had the same mtDNA sequence, and her mother's mother, and so on back. People who have exactly the same sequence are therefore related through their female ancestors, but the most recent common ancestor could be hundreds or even a few thousand years ago. Since I've had my complete mtDNA sequence done, I think it's worthwhile offering this information to other female line cousins. On this page, I present what I know about Julia's female-line descendants. In contrast to my other genealogy pages, where I follow a single surname, here I trace only the daughters in each generation. I don't list sons, or daughters who I know died in childhood, and I have omitted 20th century descendants for privacy reasons. Please contact me if you're one of my mtDNA cousins, or if you can add any information. I have solid data for most of Margaret Ballentine Cuthrell's descendants. My information on descendants of her sister Ann Ballentine Hobday comes mainly from on-line sources and has not been verified.
