STREET Y-DNA PROJECT(Updated Aug 26, 2009)
Over the past year more Street males have had their Y-DNA tested for the Street DNA Project. Some of the results have confirmed the paper trail of their genealogy line and some have disproved some family connections. We still need more Street males tested in order to confirm some of our assumptions made upon these results. We can not make the assumption that a Street family is not connected to another based on one test result. There could have been a break in the father's blood line due to an unknown adoption or a child not fathered by the assumed father back somewhere in their line. The Y-DNA is passed down from father to son. One is able to trace their father's line back thousands of years ago. Human groups are divided into Haplogroups. There can be differences in some Y-DNA markers in the same family line due to mutations, but if two people are from different Halpogroups, they can not be from the same common male ancestor.
Please take a look at the latest results on the Family Tree Makers Street Y-DNA Project on link below:
http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/s/street/results
The Project Manager has divided the results by Y-DNA matches and place the people in Haplogroup I1 in Lineage One and the others are placed in an Unassigned Group pending more matching results. Most in the unassigned group are in Haplogroup R1b1b2.
My first 12 markers are an exact match with the other Street's in Haplogroup I1. All in this group claim to have a genealogy paper trail back to Anthony Street (c1710, son of William Street c1683) except Dudley Street, whose paper trail dead ends before it can connect to Anthony or William.
Some have not placed their family tree on the "Patriarch" page which makes it hard to interpret the results. Look at the ID numbers on the chart. The following may help you understand the results:
S-2 is from a person to traces his genealogy back to Dudley Street b. about 1750.
S-4 is from a person who traces his genealogy back to Nimrod Street b. 1819, the son of Simon Thomas Street, grandson of Thomas Street b. 1738 and great grandson of Anthony Street b. c1710. Back to William Street c1682.
S-8 is my DNA. I trace my line back to Thomas Dean Street b. 1859 >>John Thomas Street b. 1835 >>Thomas Street b. 1788 >> Samuel Street c1735 via his second wife Mary Stamps >>Anthony Street c1710 >>> William Street c1682. (SEE NOTE WITH S-11 INFORMATION)
S-10 is from a person who traces their line to Alonzo Samuel Street b 1854 >>Sanford Rhodes Street b. c1820>>Samuel Street c. 1784>>Samuel Street c1735 via second wife Mary Stamps. Back to William Street (c1682).
S-11 is a person who traces their line back to Marvin Rush Street b. 1890 >>Simon Peter Street b. 1833 >>Anthony Street b. 1807>>Simon Thomas Street b. 1773 >>>Thomas Street b. 1738 >>Anthony Street b. c1710 >>>William Street b. c1682. (NOTE: S-8 AND S-11 are the only ones so far who have had the full 67 markers tested in the I1 Haplogroup and they have only 3 differences out of the 67 markers. They matched in 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 or 67 loci which means that there is a 99% likelihood they share a common ancestor in a genealogical time frame.
S-16 is from a person who traces their line back to James Joseph Street b. 1824 >>Anderson Street b. 1805 >>Joseph Street b. 1775 >> Samuel Street (c1735) via first wife Lurana (last name unk) >>Anthony Street c1710 >> William Street (c1682).
Persons working on S-13 Bird Street's line, S-14 Solomon Street's (c1788) line, and S-3 Capt. John Street's (c1700) line where looking at the possibility their lines connected to William Street c1682. From these single results it appears they are not connected to William's line since they are not from the same Haplogroup. The DNA testing helps us to know if we are on the correct path with our paper work or it makes us looking at other possibilities. There appears to be several unrelated Street families in the USA and Canada.
I am hoping more Street(s) are tested. I would like to encourage people to get more than the basic 12 markers tested in order to establish a better Y-DNA trail to go with our paper trail. I have had all 67 markers tested.
HAPLOGROUPS
The Y-DNA also gives participants additional historical information such as their Haplogroup. This is how they classify people groups as the migrated throughout the earth thousands of years ago. The five of us with matching Y-DNA, as described above are classified as Haplogroup I1. I1 lineage likely has its roots in northern France. They traveled north after the ice age. Today it is found most frequently within Viking / Scandinavian populations in northwest Europe and has since spread down into Central and Eastern Europe, where it is found at low frequencies. The old classification for this group was I1a. It was renamed in 2008. For more on information on the I1 see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_I1_%28Y-DNA%29
Attention Street Families in England
I would like to encourage Street males in England to have DNA testing (see below for testing information). Hopefully some of you will match your American cousins and will be able to give us more family history. It is believed that William Street's line was in shipping business between England and Virginia. I am sure some may have continued to be in the shipping business in England after William's ancestors emigrated. It would also be interesting to see DNA results from anyone who still retains the name STREATE or STRETE. This could help prove our line is related to the Streate or Strete lines. If any of you Street(s) from England think you might be related to our Street lines, please read about the Street Y-DNA Project below and I would like to hear from you. TOMSTREET@prodigy.net
HOW TO BE TESTED
Since the Y-DNA is not passed down to females, if you are a female Street researcher and want Y-DNA testing, you would need to have a male Street in your family tested such as a brother. THE TESTING DOES NOT REQUIRE A BLOOD TEST. They will send you a kit so a person can take their own scraping inside their cheek and send it back to the lab. It is easy.
If you have already been tested with another organization, you can still use Y-Search with your DNA information. It is a free service offered by Family Tree at http://www.ysearch.org. You can use this site to search out names and DNA results.
There are several other companies that do Genealogy DNA and I am not trying to promote one company over another. Family Tree's information web page allows one to compare Family Tree with two other companies at http://www.familytreedna.com/about.html and they have an information video which gives more information about Genealogy DNA. (If you are interested, click on the hyper-text links in BLUE to go to the web page. )
Family Tree allows you to compare your DNA with people who were tested by other companies doing Genealogy DNA and encourages people to join the International Society of Genetic Genealogy which is free to join at http://www.isogg.org . It does cost to have your DNA tested. The basic test is $99.00 with Family Tree DNA for 12 markers if you join the Street Group. $187 for the 37 marker test. I know it sounds like a lot of money for some people but if genealogy is a hobby like it is for me, many people spend a lot more money on other hobbies. I feel it is worth the money.
I would like to encourage our Street family researchers take advantage of one of the DNA testing services.

The Philadelphia Street Families
John Street, immigrant came from England (around 1760) with a sea captain for the voyage to Philadelphia and never returned home. See the link below for more information.

ANTHONY STREET'S LINE BACK TO ENGLAND
In June 2001 a group of Street family researchers located the grave of Anthony Street (born about 1710 in King William Co., VA) and placed a marker on his grave site. You can read more about this project by clicking on this page link--CLICK HERE.
Mavis Clemmer pictured above on the right is the author of two books on the Street family and has linked a number of Street lines to Anthony Street correcting many errors by previous researchers. She found wills and records proving Anthony was the father of Samuel, Thomas, Elizabeth, Caty, and Frances (Franky) who married Housand Harrill. She also found this father's will proving William Street born 1682 was his father. We have not found his mother's name. At one time it was thought he might have married Jane Waddy, but the only record we have of Jane Waddy, the daughter of Samuel Waddy, died at the age of 4 years old.
We have been stuck and unable to prove Anthony's line past William. Hayden Street pictured in the center above has taken a special interest in tracing his line back to England. It is Hayden's theory that William's father was George Street descended from John Streate in England via Anthony Street / Streate, John Street, and George Street. Anthony changed the spelling of his name to Street. Anthony Street was the only Street found wealthy enough to have a son John who owned a plantation in Isle of Wright, Virginia in 1636. John had a son named George born in 1662 in the same area where William Street was born in 1782.
If these theories are true, Anthony's line would be:
(1) John Streate
(2) Anthony Streate (Street)
(3) John Street born about 1662- He may have been known as Capt. John Street, BUT don't confuse this Capt. John Street with the one born about 1700 in Bristol, England. There were previous research errors making this later Capt. John Street the father of some of Anthony Street's (born 1710) children. These error were copied by later researchers and believed to true by many.
FOR CAPT. JOHN STREET B. ABOUT 1700 RESEARCHERS--- We are not sure who was the father of this later Capt. John Street. Since he was born in England a number of years after Anthony's line went to Virginia, he may have been a grandson of John Streate's other children. He may have been involved with their shipping business. He married Hannah Waddy and had the following children after going to Virginia: (1) John Street, Jr. born 1735 in Charles City, VA and died 1801 in Hanover, VA. (2) Joseph Street born 1737 in Charles City, VA. and died 1835 in TN. (3) William Street born 1739. (4) Anthony Waddy Street born 1741 in Metadaquin Cr. near Richmond, VA. and died 1809 in VA. (5) Mary Street born 1845. He also may have had a daughter named Frances. This is where past researchers tried to list the Frances (Franky) Street daughter of Anthony Street as Capt. John Street's daughter. Anthony lists his daughter Frances married to Housand Harrill in his will. So we are not sure if he had a daughter named Frances or past researchers just plugged her in this family.
(4) George Street born 1862 in Handover, VA
(5) William Street born about 1680 in VA and died 1752 in Caroline Co, VA. William is the oldest we have documentation. Remember his above line is just a theory as of this time. William has three known sons: William, Anthony, and Joseph. The later Capt. John Street would fit the age of William's children, but we have two problems. We have not found any records indicating he was one of William's sons and if Capt. John Street was born in England would present a problem.
(6) Anthony Street born about 1710 in King William Co., VA and died June 7, 1790 in Amherst, VA. He is documented in William's will.
If you have any additional records on this line, please e-mail us. See link below.
GABBY STREET
Gabby Street whose real name was Charles Evard Street was an "old time baseball catcher" for St. Lewis . He became famous in 1909 for catching a baseball dropped off the Washington Monument.
He was born Sept. 30, 1882 in Huntsville, AL and died Feb. 6, 1951 in Joplin, MO. He also picked up the name "Old Sarge" during WW!. He was right handed, weighed 180 and was 5' 11'. He was often referred to as "Walter Johnson's catcher," even though he was with the famous pitcher for only four years (1908-1911). After playing baseball he became a manager and led St. Lewis to two pennants. The first was as a rookie manager in 1930, defeating the A's in the World Series. He later became a broadcaster for the Cardinals.
He was married to Lucinda Rena Chandler from MO. His father was William Frank Street of Madison Co., AL (1857-1894), son of Reuben Edward Street of Madison Co., AL (1827-1870, son of William Street born in NC and moved to Madison Co., AL (1790-1840). I have not found his line past William. This line is posted on Ancestory.com

TWO STREET BOOKS
STREET, THE MAN, THE FAMILY, THE VILLAGE by Mary E. Manning
This book sold by Streetsville Historical Society, Box 598, Streetsville, Ontario L5M 2C1. Joyce Hodges of KS has this book and said there are some errors in the descendants, but very good information for descendants of Timothy Street (1748 - 1780) of Fairfield, CT and later Columbia Co., NY.
STREET FAMILY CONNECTIONS, A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY by Elizabeth Street Mason.
This was privately published and there may be no more copies available for sale. It has information about the immigrant Nicholas Street (1603 - 1674), the loyalist verse patriot split in the Street family, then concentrates on the descendants who moved to Charleston, S.C. beginning with Timothy Benedict (1779 - 1833). It is well researched and documented.

THOMAS DEAN STREET'S LINE AND INFORMATION
THOMAS DEAN STREET
1859-1926
We published a research article on Thomas Dean Street's line in the Spring 2003 issue of the Street Family Newsletter. You may click here to see the article.
Thomas Dean Street is standing to the far right of this sporty old car driven by his oldest son John Thomas Street (b.1880). I have not been able to identify all the people in this photo. It is believed my grandmother Carrie Mae Fullbright Street is the 5th adult from the left. The girl in front of her with a bow in her hair is believed to be Carrie's oldest daughter Elzia Street Simpson born 1912. None of the male adults look like my grandfather. Stamped on the back of the photo is "Kodak Headquarters, 72 N. Broad St., Atlanta, Ga."
This photo and the next one is part of the Hubbard - Street family collection. Dean Hubbard recently sent me these old family photos which I had never seen. ( L. to R.): John Woody Hubbard, Laura Street Hubbard (daughter of Thomas Dean Street ), Laura Jane Street (wife) and Thomas Dean Street. The child is Evelyn Hubbard. John Woody Hubbard and Laura Street Hubbard were the parents of Dean Hubbard. He is currently working on the Hubbard line. Date of photo is 1917.
It is believed that the man in this photo is Thomas Dean Street with his wife Laura. The lady on the left is Carrie Street Nesbit (another daughter of Thomas Dean Street) with baby Evelyn Hubbard (same as the child in above photo). The date of this photo is about 1915 in Georgia. Dean Hubbard sent me this photo since I was trying to find a photo of Thomas Dean Street without a hat.
CENSUS RECORD FOR THOMAS DEAN STREET'S LINE
Thomas Dean Street's grandfather "Thomas Street" is listed in the Conyers, Newton Co., GA 1860 census at age 72. He is the 3rd name down. This part of Newton Co. became Rockdale Co. after the Civil War.
Thomas Dean is less than 1 y/o in the Wilkes Co. 1860 Census with his father John T. Street and Mother Margery Ann "Mitchell" Street. Their family is next to the last family on the page - #46.
This 1880 Morgan Co., GA Census record shows the last record I have for Thomas Dean Street's father John T. Street with his wife Margery A. Below them is Thomas Dean Street with his wife Laura J. (Laura Jane Wellborn). Here is were the "T" looked like an "F: and the "D" looked more like a "P". Which made this record hard to locate.
This 1860 Newton Co. GA Census records show John T. Street's wife's parents, Green M. Mitchell and Asenath "Williams"
Thomas Dean Street with family in the Fulton Co., GA 1910 Census.
(My Family) FAMILY OF JAMES W. STREET (1889-1950)
