BMDB data

Male Junkine was born say 1782 ?Port of Menteith, PER, SCT.²

Back in 2019 yDNA testing highlighted that our tested descendants of my 2* great grandfather James Henderson (b. 1813) did not have a match to the tested descendant of James brother Archibald.
The former had no matches other than each other, the latter had matches to at least 3 Henderson families from Stilringshire/Perthshire.
Roll forward to March 2023 and a match to James' tested descendants, at BigY level, turned up, Jenkins by surname.
From autosomal DNA we knew we had quite a few matches to the intertwined, and extensive, families of Jenkins, and Buchanan, from Perthshire / Stirlingshire, but few clues exactly how we connected.
With the exact same haplogroup assigned to all James' tested descendants, on balance it does rather seem that the yDNA discrepancy is from James' ancestry.
James' father has been reallocated from Archibald to a placeholder Jenkins male asumed to have been born around 1782, parents Patrick / Peter Junkin / Jenkins and Mary Buchanan.
This may, or may not, be the correct position on the Jenkins tree but the extended families do have many autosomal DNA matches to both Jenkins and Buchanan descendants.²
