I'm sorry to report that I am no longer a 'Cabbage.' It turns out that every chromosome segment that I or close cousins carry that matches Cabbages (from Adam or John Cabbage, b 1755, 1758) is also matched by descendants of John or James Arwine /Arnwine (b ~1760-1765). The Cabbage brothers and the Arwine brothers, were both born to German fathers in the same region of Pennsylvania. They all served in the 8th Virginia regiment in the Rev. War. Then they were neighbors in Grainger Tn in 1799, 1800, 1810. Those several chromosome matches tell us, odds are, that they were closer than 1st cousins-- hard to believe, eh? It's almost as if they had the same mother. Claims as to who their parents were, especially their mothers, are just guesses -- to be taken with a grain of salt.
Anyhow, my 3rd great GM appears to be from James Arnwine and his wife Rosanna Beeler -- we also match the Beeler side, on different chromosome segments from the same 3rd-g gm. I'm not a Cabbage after all; the above explains why I thought I was for a while.
I'm glad you've taken charge of building a Cabbage tree here at Wikitree. I see that you made the 100 club for June. I have a lot of chromosome data that proves connections through several Cabbage lines. I was thinking of adding to the Cabbage tree here myself, but... time. Let me know if you want DNA confirmations. There are trees at Ancestry that are... wrong.

That's really interesting stuff about the chromosomes, I wonder if, say, the mothers were twins, if that would have an effect. Or if relatives married each other (as they often did, parts of my family tree are more like shrubs than trees) if that would make a difference. The DNA research is still kind of confusing to me.

Or back to your first idea, mothers being identical twins is the same thing genetically as being the same person. Being fraternal twins is the same as sisters, which would make the Arwines and Cabbages first cousins. They seem closer than that. The mother of the John and James Arwine has been thought to be an English woman -- I can hardly believe that. If so, then the Arwines and Cabbages, with different last names, had to be related through their fathers, who could be no closer than first cousins, making the Arwines and Cabbages 2nd cousins -- that's just too far for what i'm seeing. Endogamy, also, seldom gets closer than 2nd cousins (that is, endogamy without being actual close cousins). Or, I suppose the fathers could have been half brothers, or double-first cousins (Ms Arwine marries Mr Cabbage, and their sibs do likewise, Mr Arwine marries Ms Cabbage.)
Well, we'll never solve it! I just wish that, say 100 years ago, when people were collecting family stories and histories, that they had known about relatedness through DNA; that would have led them to look and ask where we can't look and ask now.
Remember me anything if you have anything puzzling about the genetic side of genealogy -- i'm a retired geneticist. And do come to GEDmatch -- it's free, and fun! --John
Thanks for taking responsibility for the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers. One quick way to find the profiles you adopted is by searching your Contributions List for the word "adopted" and "manager." You can find a quick link to your Contributions List in the My WikiTree dropdown menu.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up GEDCOM biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

PS If the profile needs GEDCOM cleanup, the AGC tool can help with formatting so that you can concentrate on the research. You can read more about it in the WikiTree AGC FAQ.
