  [S4250] Melungeon DNA Project, (Name: Melungeon DNA Project;), Melungeon DNA Project: James Sizemore. The results of James Sizemore's Y-STR test shocked many but simply confirmed what others in the family had known all along. Most Sizemores are Native American. Q3 is the only haplogroup exclusively associated with American Indians. Subsequently, three other Sizemores/ Sisemores matched our subject and a large Sizemore Surname DNA Project was undertaken. This project found several distinct Sizemore lines, with the apparently largest being ours. James Sizemore traces his lineage back to a William Ephraim Sizemore born about 1700 who married Winifred Green, the daughter of Henry Green (whose will William Sizemore witnessed in 1761) and Elizabeth Griffin. According to family tradition, the family always lived on the frontier, which moved, beginning across the river from Jamestown in Surry County and later becoming fixed in Pittsylvania County, finally in Kentucky. http://www.melungeons.com/articles/melungeondnaproject.htm#Sisemores Seal-Cherokee Nation Seal of the Cherokee Nation September 6, 1839 History-Sizemore Indian Blood James Sizemore's Indian Blood -- http://www.melungeons.com/articles/melungeondnaproject.htm#Sisemores
