Patrick, also known as Peter[1], Junkine was born in 1751 at Tarr of Ruskie in Port Of Menteith parish, Perthshire, Scotland. The son of James Junkine of Port of Menteith and Janet Montgomerie of Kincardine, he was baptised on 16 Jun 1751 in Port of Menteith parish.[2]

This son "Unknown" chap is a placeholder to connect in the family of James Henderson given the excellent BigY DNA match and triangulated autosomal matches between descendants of both James and of Patrick/Peter. :Whether he is a son of Patrick, or a connection from an earlier generation remains to be seen, and we may never know.Henderson-2297 10:25, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

DNA
A descendant of Patrick's grandson Peter has tested BIgY and is currently allocated to SNP R-BY19859 along with his "Henderson" matches. His test has subsequently resulted in these closely related latter Henderson testers (2nd and 3rd cousins) forming their own sub group under R-BY19865. All now show on their common SNP branch beneath the Discover Haplogroup report for the older R-S7361 branch
We are definitely on the look-out for yDNA test candidates for any Junkin / Jenkins direct male line descendants, particularly from lines other than Patricks grandson Peter. Please contact Lorna if interested in exploring this.
