Biography

Archibald Henderson is assumed to be the son of William Henderson & Marrion Robertson baptized 1779. He died in 1826.

This being the most likely contender for the origins of the Archibald who married Margaret McEwan in 1804. It would be great to find proof of this connection beyond the circumstantial evidence of a witness to the 1808 baptism of his daughter Margaret being a David Henderson[1] - assumed to be his brother.

Baptized 29 Aug 1779 Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland

entry reads: William Henderson and Marrion Robertson his Spouse at Burnbank had a Child baptized August 29th called Archibald Witt: James Robertson at Dounshogle? & David Mitchell in Doun? [2]

Died 16 Feb 1826 Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, Scotland

Never thought we'd find when Archibald died, but an Inventory was filed by his widow, two years after he died stating his death date [3]

DNA

DNA threw us a curve-ball back in 2019.
Whereas descendants of Archibald's grandson William belong to R-BY19859, a sub branch of R-S7361 they had no matches other than each other at any level of ySTR testing.
The descendant of William's brother Archibald doesn't match them, being R-Y19731, but does have lower level ySTR matches to descendants of assorted Henderson families from Perthshire / Stirlingshire.
Which makes James highly unlikely to belong to Archibald.
As at Mar 2023 we can conclude that Archibald's documented son James is actually genetically a Jenkins (Junkine back then) as the descendants of James, from two different sons, now have an excellent BigY match in their haplogroup to a descendant of Peter (Junkine) Jenkins (1818-1881) (married Jane McNee). This being hinted at over the years from autosomal matches between the families as well.
Autosomal DNA is also providing clues as to likely family connections, several around Perthshire, in a growing number of triangulated groups of matches determined to be connected to either Archibald or his wife Margaret McEWAN, with it now seems (Mar 2023) any involving son James' descendants are more likely from Margaret's atDNA.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Archibald by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Archibald:

I dont know about these other guys but this is MY ancestor. The R1B1B2 is my halpogroup. I am sorry but my DNA results got stolen and I can prove it. This is just incredible the levels that people will stoop to. Lets compare my results with these and ill bet you anything they are mine.

If you are indeed a yDNA tested descendant of Archibald, I'd love to see where you think you connect.

R1b1b2 is older terminology these days (must get that one changed) and that particular designation is well back up the chain several 1000s of years ago to a common ancestor to anyone sharing it, of whom there will be many many people. We are in the Henderson yDNA project on FamilyTreeDNA, and have upgraded to BigY. If you have tested there you are not showing up as a match to us. On yFull we are the bottom three tests at https://yfull.com/tree/R-S7361/ Take a look at the timescale estimates for the branches.

Other companies, such as 23andme and LivingDNA will provide you with a haplogroup, but no matching capability. yDNA results from yDNA testing companies can also be uploaded to https://www.mitoydna.org/ for comparison .

If you haven't tested at FamilyTreeDNA I strongly suggest that you do so. Entry level is yDNA37, sales regularly. If you get a pattern of surname matches you wish to explore, then I'd suggest also saving the pennies and upgrading to BigY for precise positioning on the haploTree of Henderson kind.
