Surnames/tags: Jenkins Stirlingshire Perthshire

Intro
The main goal of this project is to document DNA tested lines of the Jenkins (and variant surnames) where the earliest known ancestry is from Stirlingshire or Perthshire.
Also to encourage:
- further documentation of the Jenkins lines from this area here on WikiTree.
- further DNA testing, to see if your line connects to those already represented, or belongs to an as yet unrepresented line. The entry level y37 test at FamilyTreeDNA is a good starting point. Upgrades to BigY provide the additional timeframe and sub branch information.
The driver behind the formation of this Free Space profile, and companion category, being my (Lorna's) personal search for the unkonwn Jenkins male who is my 3* great grandfather. For more information, please check out (this link)
Two Family Tree DNA projects between them cover this group.
If your Jenkins (etc) line has a direct male line from this area and you want to learn more about how DNA testing can help, please do contact me ( Lorna) either from the FFLornaHen project page or via here, on WikiTree,.
Do please document your Jenkins (etc) lines from this area, and if a direct male line exists, please send them along.
If the line has a yDNA tester here on WikiTree where the earliest known direct male line ancestor is not yet shown on the companion category page for this, please do add the Jenkins_DNA_Stirlingshire_Perthshire_Scotland category to that earliest ancestor's profile. You can read about Categorisation here.
Thank you for helping document these families. Henderson-2297 09:00, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
Haplogroup
The current (Nov 2023) situation is that one haplogroup connects a line from Stirilingshire, to a line from Perthshire. They meet back at R-BY19860, a subbranch of R-SS7361
The time frames for the DNA branches formed can be seen on FamilyTreeDNA's Discover. This will be refined as additional BigY results are added.
Milestones
May 2024: Not (yet?) a new sub branch, but a y37 test in from a descendant of a different line of the Perthshire family is showing a preliminary set of close matches.
Nov 2023: New sub branch, R-FTE63859, created for Stirlingshire line testers to date created under the overall parent branch R-BY19860. Estimated "born" about 1750 give or take 200 years. Parent, R-BY19860 now slightly changed to "born" about 1540 give or take 250 years. With the Perthshire Sub branch R-BY19859 now estimated as "born" about 1640 give or take 150 years.
Sep 2023: Creation of new "parent" , R-BY19860 for R-BY19859 with arrival of results for a Stirlingshire line. Timeframe for formation of this connecting branch is estimated to have been about 1530 give or take a couple of hundred years.
April 2023: Creation of R-BY19865 a new sub branch to R-BY19859 for the Henderson cousins, with arrival of results for a Jenkins Perthshire line.
Jul 2020: 3rd Henderson tester confirms DNA Signature back to James Henderson (1813-1892).
Aug 2017 Henderson 2nd cousins who share James Henderson b. 1813 Stirlingshire assigned to R-S7361. (Actually assigned originally on ScotlandsDNA many years earlier ) No matches at all y37+
