I am the administrator of a MAPLE/MAPLEY surname Y-DNA study at Family Tree DNA. We are looking for males with surnames such as MAPLE, MAPEL, MABLE, MABEL, MAPLEY, MABLEY, and MABILE. We hope to learn more about the origins of these surnames. Please contact me if you are interested.
For information on how you can help to determine the path by which the Maple paternal line migrated through Europe into England and to the United States, see Space: MAPLE Y-DNA Haplogroup
Here is a partial list of Bruce's autosomal DNA matches (at Family Tree DNA) with known MAPLE ancestry. For purposes of privacy, the match's name is not given -- instead, one of their deceased ancestors along the pertinent ancestral line is listed:
[Nearest Common Ancestor].....(relation)..........................[Match's Ancestor]
If you have known MAPLE ancestry, please consider doing a Family Finder test with Family Tree DNA and/or import your autosomal DNA test results into GEDMATCH.
Migration of MAPLE families to western Pennsylvania and the Northwest Territory prior to Ohio statehood:
Several of Benjamin Maple Jr's children moved from New Jersey to western Pennsylvania (Greene County and Fayette County) in the 18th century. A close association of these families remained as they migrated further into Ohio (Jefferson County, Columbiana County, and Coshocton County). I am trying to better understand the relationships between these Maple families.
Paternal relationship with Great-Great-Great-Grandfather Jasper Newton Maple has been confirmed by FTDNA Family Finder and Big Y-700 tests. A Maple 3rd cousin, once removed, shares 106 cM across 15 segments. The largest segment (37 cM) contains a 9 cM segment shared by a descendant of Mary (Maple) Roseberry, daughter of Jasper's Great-Great Grandfather, Benjamin Maple Jr.
This Maple 3rd cousin, once removed, also shares the Y-DNA SNP R-FT94958, which originated somewhere downstream of David R. Maple, my 5th great grandfather.
For whatever it's worth, source [DNSP] on Stillwell-411 supports your observation that the Thomas Stillwell who married Alice Throckmorton and Hannah Taylor descended from Richard Stilwell, the first son of Nicholas Stillwell (b. ca. 1606). This is all documented in the research notes section of Stillwell-411.
Hi Bruce, It looks like you may have some outstanding merges that need attention. You can find them by following the link at the top of this page under >My Wikitree>Watchlist, then hit the button that says Pending Merges
Hello Bruce, haven't done much research in recent years but have Maple ancestors from Harrison & Carroll counties in Ohio. We have contributed to Telford Grant Maple's family history book back in the 1990s after I talked with him on the phone. I have had the Family Tree DNA test done a while back also. I am descended from Jacob Maple's son Elijah and then Elijah's daughter, Amanda Ellen Maple who married George Hawk.
Wow bruce that was some important information that fits into the Maple/McCorkhill/ Duncan puzzle I am trying to solve. Thank you for the information!!!
Hi Bruce, 1/2 of my husbands ancestors are from the same Ohio area (Jefferson County, Columbiana County, and Coshocton County, as well as the migration into Carroll, Stark and Harrison and Tuscarawas County). I am trying to better understand the migration patterns of the two migrating communities (one from the Massachusetts/Connecticut /NY to Ohio, the other from Virginia/Pennsylvania to Ohio) as they blended into one.
Thank you for your input for Elizabeth Maple. I hadn't got to that generation yet. ( I am still on Jame's and Jane's' children.) The biographies of the children of William R and Rebecca Maple are still old profiles that I inherited and still need to research. Thank for the heads up! :)

Thanks for helping with Wikitree
Please share your ancestry sources for William and Kesiah Larrison Maple's profile. Have found little to nothing for her father George.
Thanks Sharon
