Abiathar Smith Robinson's Y haplogroup of R-L21 and Kings of England's House of Stuart

Nadene Goldfoot

My great grandfather, Abiathar Smith Robinson, was born in December 1829 in Vermont, USA, and he died in 1904 in Wenona, Marshall, Illinois.
His Y haplogroup is R-L21. The first knowledge of it was called R1b1a2a1a1b4. His line has several kings, with Scottish and Irish origins of the Stuart line of Royalty.

Kings & Queens of England or Great Britain

James I (1566-1625) => R1b-L21 (Y-DNA)

James was born in 1566, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley.

He was King of Scotland (as James VI) for 36 years before becoming King of England in 1603 — and the first in the British royal line of Stuarts.
James considered his rule to be by the “Divine Right of Kings” (under which he was considered appointed by God and not answerable to men), but all members of Parliament did not accept this belief. By governing for much of the time without Parliament — relying instead on a select group of “favourites” for advice — he diluted the legacy of strong representative government established by Elizabeth I.

James VI and I was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625.

Charles I (1600-1649) => T2 (mtDNA) ; R1b-L21 (Y-DNA)
Charles I (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649)^[a] was the monarch over the three kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution.

Charles was born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland, but after his father inherited the English throne in 1603, he moved to England, where he spent much of the rest of his life. He became heir apparent to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland on the death of his elder brother, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, in 1612. An unsuccessful and unpopular attempt to marry him to the Spanish Habsburg princess Maria Anna culminated in an eight-month visit to Spain in 1623 that demonstrated the futility of the marriage negotiations. Two years later, he married the Bourbon princess Henrietta Maria of France instead.

Charles II (1630-1685) => H (mtDNA) ; R1b-L21 (Y-DNA)

Charles II (29 May 1630 – 6 February 1685)^[c] was king of England, Scotland, and Ireland. He was king of Scotland from 1649 until his deposition in 1651, and king of England, Scotland and Ireland from the 1660 Restoration of the monarchy until his death.

Charles II was the eldest surviving child of Charles I of England, Scotland and Ireland and Henrietta Maria of France. After Charles I's execution at Whitehall on 30 January 1649, at the climax of the English Civil War, the Parliament of Scotland proclaimed Charles II king on 5 February 1649. However, England entered the period known as the English Interregnum or the English Commonwealth, and the country was a de facto republic led by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell defeated Charles II at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, and Charles fled to mainland Europe. Cromwell became virtual dictator of England, Scotland and Ireland. Charles spent the next nine years in exile in France, the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Netherlands.

*** **James II (1633-1701) => H (mtDNA) ; R1b-L21 (Y-DNA) *****
King of England, Scotland, and Ireland • married twice (1) Anne Hyde (2) Mary of Modena • born 14 October 1633 - died 16 September 1701 (aged 67) • children include: Mary II of England, Anne Queen of Great Britain, James Francis Edward Stuart "The Old Pretender", and Louisa Maria Teresa Stuart • James was deposed during the Glorious Revolution and replaced with William and Mary.
We are also related to Anne Hyde from Abiathar's wife's side of the family-Julia Ann Tuller. Anne Hyde thus became Queen.

Her daughter, Anne, was born at 11:39 p.m. on 6 February 1665 at St James's Palace, London, the fourth child and second daughter of the Duke of York (afterwards James II and VII), and his first wife, Anne Hyde. Anne (6 February 1665 – 1 August 1714) was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland between 8 March 1702 and 1 May 1707. On 1 May 1707, under the Acts of Union, the kingdoms of England and Scotland united as a single sovereign state known as Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death in 1714.
My mother's mt haplotype was also H, but her origin was from Sweden.

The last 3 kings of England have not had a deeper test result for the public.
They are R1b, but that title is very broad. They are not from the House of Stuart.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh => H (mtDNA) ; R1b (Y-DNA)
)

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is the husband of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. Philip was born into the Greek and Danish royal families. He was born in Greece, but his family was exiled from the country when he was an infant. After being educated in France, Germany and the United Kingdom, he joined the British Royal Navy in 1939, aged 18. From July 1939, he began corresponding with the 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth, whom he had first met in 1934. During the Second World War he served with distinction in the Mediterranean and Pacific Fleets.

Charles, Prince of Wales => R1b (Y-DNA

Charles, Prince of Wales (Charles Philip Arthur George; born 14 November 1948) is the heir apparent to the British throne as the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. He has been Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay since 1952, and is the oldest and longest-serving heir apparent in British history.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge => R30b (mtDNA) ; R1b (Y-DNA)
(William Arthur Philip Louis; born 21 June 1982)

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, KG KT PC ADC is a member of the British royal family. He is the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales.
Since birth, he has been second in the line of succession to the British throne.

William was educated at four schools in the United Kingdom and studied for a degree at the University of St Andrews. During a gap year, he spent time in Chile, Belize, and Africa. In December 2006, he completed 44 weeks of training as an officer cadet and was commissioned in the Blues and Royals regiment. In April 2008, William completed pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell, then underwent helicopter flight training and became a full-time pilot with the RAF Search and Rescue Force in early 2009. His service with the British Armed Forces ended in September 2013.^[3]^[4] He then trained for a civil pilot's licence and spent over two years working as a pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

In 2011, Prince William was made Duke of Cambridge and married Catherine Middleton. The couple have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
