Following on from a previous post<\/a><\/strong> where I explained that my patrilineal line doesn’t match the Hibbitt haplogroup, I am now giving an update for those called Hibbitt or a variant of the name.<\/p>\n

We now have four people called either Hibbitt, Hibbett or Hibbit sharing the Z2534 haplogroup<\/strong><\/span>. At least two descend from John Hybot and Ann Tubbs who married in Exton, Rutland, in 1732, through their son, Matthew, who married Frances Penruddock. A third person could either descend from Matthew and Frances or Matthew’s brother, William, who married Elizabeth Skillet. Either way, John Hybot and Ann Tubbs would be this person’s forebears too.<\/p>\n

The final Z2534 result came from a descendant of a John Hibbit who married Mary Toft in London in 1770. This then, would point to a connection back to either John Hybot or, quite probably, an ancestor of his, how far back we cannot know without specific Y-DNA testing.<\/p>\n

Three of the results were obtained when testers ran their AncestryDNA raw data files through the Morley Y-SNP Subclade Predictor Tool at
\nhttps:\/\/ytree.morleydna.com\/extractFromAutosomal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The fourth person in this Z2534 group tested with Living DNA which gave a more recent haplogroup than Z2534. The haplogroup was Z2189<\/strong><\/span>. The R Z2534 DNA project<\/a><\/strong> suggests that the people they have in their project who are positive for the Z2189 SNP have Iberian ancestry.<\/p>\n

The Ancestry and Living DNA tests are not dedicated Y DNA tests, instead they are autosomal DNA tests with a small amount of Y-DNA data included. The YTree at YFull shows various testers who’ve taken the Big Y test at FTDNA or similar and who come under Z2534: https:\/\/www.yfull.com\/tree\/R-Z2534\/<\/a><\/strong>. The ancestry of those in the Z2189 group includes places such as Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Puerto Rico. It’s curious then, how the Hybot family came to be in England but it needs to be noted that the Z2189 haplogroup was formed about 4000 years ago.<\/p>\n

\"The

The R Z2189 Haplogroup on the YTree as at April 2019
(UPDATE June 2025: there are now many more men appearing on this branch of the YTree.)<\/p><\/div>\n

If anyone in the Hibbitt etc. group was to take a Big Y test and upload to YFull, it would be interesting to see whether they were a match to any of the existing subclades of Z2189 or whether they would eventually form a brand new branch if a closer DNA match also tested.<\/p>\n

As for my line, with every result that comes in at Z2534, it confirms that I am not a ‘real’ Hibbitt after all. My Dad’s haplogroup is Z36747 which separated from the Z2534 haplogroup at DF13, which is a couple of clades above Z2534, and therefore further back in time. I still have no idea what my maiden name should have been but I believe that it’s either my great-grandfather or his father who had a father who wasn’t a Hibbitt. This is contrary to what the records say so no clues so far.<\/p>\n

[UPDATE June 2025<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span> having taken a fresh look at the Hibbert DNA Project’s Y-DNA Results<\/a><\/strong>, I notice there are two people in the project called Hibbert<\/strong> who also have a haplogroup of Z2189 so it would seem the names are linked. The project is currently looking for an administrator.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
