We already had four men with the Hocking surname who had tested and were in the same group. With some being more difficult than others, we were able to slot all four into the Camborne Hocking Tree. That's a spectacular result for the Camborne Hocking tree. It encourages me to continue in case something further turns up in my Y DNA quest. In fact I'm looking for confirmation of a paternal line link to another Camborne individual, Pascow DUN, who first appears in the Camborne church records circa 1580. Incidentally, in his will Pascow mentions a daughter Alice, wife of a John HOCKIN - would you happen to know if he fits into your HOCKIN tree?

Yes, don't give up hope in your Y-DNA quest. I was just reading something from Joe Flood "In the CORNWALL project we are very proud of men who have no matches, calling them "rare Cornish DNA" or true survivors of ancient times. Quite often, their ancestral paternal line has managed to survive only one man from extinction for millennia."

Hi Spikeharwood
Thanks for the heads up re FTDNA - Between the two DNA tests his health was really failing and I did not want to bother him with too many questions
Regards
Sarch

Well, I'm not really 'the last of the Mohicans' since I have one convincing match (the tester now sadly deceased) with an earliest known ancestor Richard DUNN who emigrated from Cornwall to New Zealand circa 1850. However, I can't match any of Richard's anecdotal family history with a traceable Cornish candidate. Expanding the anecdotal boundaries I can construct a link to my 7 x great grandparents John DUNN and Mary NOYE, but who knows, this could be just a castle in the air!
