Biography

by Baucom-223 Known Facts 1 John Baucom Jr's will, probated1841 identified his seven children and some grandchildren. There was NO WIFE included.

1830 census records show John age 70-79 and a male child under age 5, probably a great grandson, and 12 slaves. 1840 census records show John age 80-89 and a female age 40-49, probably one of his grand children named in his will, who was his care giver, and 24 slaves. There is zero evidence that she was his wife. Why would a man age, 80 marry anyone? But if he did she would have been included in his will. John Baucom Sr. had 8 sons, Stop and think, how many his grand sons were name John. Marriage records show one them married Fanny Jordan in 1839.

My original Baucom Y DNA project included descendants of John Baucom Sr's sons Cader, Lewis, Asa, and Josiah who had matching Y DNA. None of them or their father owned slaves, so maybe this John Jr was from a wealthy Balcom from New England. Later on I found a descendant of John Jr's son Bennett who matched the others. Perhaps Jr married the daughter of a wealthy plantation and it became her's when he died.

A descendant of Isham, born in Kentucky, now living in Arizona was Y DNA tested in 2005 at DNA Heritage. He sent me a copy of his Y DNA report that I included in Baucom Y DNA project. There was no match between descendants of John and Rachel Baucom, Nicholas and Sarah Lee and the Isham descendant; three different haplotypes.

Finally, a descendant of Bennett Baucom, John Jr's son has Y DNA that matches other descendant's of John and Rachel

Obviously, Fanny Jordan was not the mother of John's children. North Carolina marriage records state that she married John Baucom 1739, but not this John Baucom, a rather stupid assumption that an 84 year old many on his death bed would marry anyone. John's second child Isham was born about 1780. John had no females in his 1830 census and one much younger one in 1840 census. She was probably a daughter, or granddaughter who was his care giver until he died later in 1840.

Sir, if you have further evidence of this profile’s children and grandchildren, please by all means update the profile to reflect your correct (and non-stupid) information. If you had reviewed the profile of Fanny Jordan, it indicates her profile was created on 5 Aug 2020 by that particular profile manager. There is no excuse for your rudeness.
