Oldest Known Ancestor

?? Mason¹ (b. abt 1780 MD?) details unknown. A current assumption is that John Mason (of 1820 Fairfield Co. Ohio Census) and/or Sarah Mason (of 1830 Fairfield Co. Ohio Census) is/are parent(s). Several Mason brothers, including my ancestor, and appear in Violet township, Fairfield Co. Ohio. These y-dna results should also fit male descendants of Henry Mason², Michael Mason², Thomas Mason², Jesse Mason², John A. Mason², and David Mason² of Fairfield Co. OH area. And "possibility" the older Henry Mason¹ and his son Nelson Mason² of Maryland & Fairfield Co. OH
Jonathan Mason² (b. 1804 probably Maryland) moved to Fairfield Co. OH, then in 1830s, Jonathan Mason moved from Fairfield Co. Ohio to Goshen Twp. Hardin Co. Ohio where he died in 1872. The 1883 History of Hardin Co. OH indicated Jonathan Mason "came from Virginia"; however, most census entries indicate a Maryland birthplace for him and his brothers. Several of his sons moved west to Nebraska:
Loyd L. Mason³ and Leroy S. Mason³ to Nemaha Co. and Charles D. Mason³ and Thomas J. Mason³ to Richardson Co. Nebraska.
Findley E. Mason⁴ (b. 1867 Hardin Co. OH, d. 1936 Nemaha Co. NE) moved with parents to Nemaha Co. NE.
Peter C. Mason⁵ (b. 1890 Nemaha Co. NE, d. 1967)
Roger C. Mason⁶ (1919-1995)
--Mark C. Mason⁷ (1948-1994)
Emmett E. Mason⁶ (1932 ~)

DYS19=15 and YCAIIa,b=19,21 specific to "Western European" & "Central Asian Norse" R1a1;
DYS19=16 and YCAIIa,b=19,23 specific to Eastern European R1a1.

Ethno Ancestry YSTR test
Dr. Wilson sent David Faux the following reply in relation to a query concerning to the matter of "performance characteristics" of the YSTR10 unique markers:
"There are fast, slow and middling markers among these ten. 549 and 522 are the fastest and so will help to distinguish closely related lineages. 575, 638, 494 and 556 are slower markers, which may be useful in identifying novel sub-clusters if a non-modal value is observed. All ten will help to determine whether a match is due to a common ancestor in the time frame of surnames." 11/22/2006.
