In the original article "Delmarva DNA: An O-F3288 Y DNA Discovery for Patrilineal Descendants of James Revell (Accomack)", we learned about the “Patrilineal Descendants of James Revell (Accomack) Y DNA Project” that includes the Y chromosome DNA test results of three men, all living in the United States, who are, according to historical records and documented genealogies, patrilineal descendants of James Revell born 1656, an Accomack Indian from “Matomkin” on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
Accomack County is adjacent to Somerset County, Maryland to the northwest, Worcester County to the northeast, and is a part of the Delmarva Peninsula, that comprises the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and Delaware. In this most recent, July 2021 update, new subclades of the O-F3288 East Asian haplogroup, resulting from the Big Y 700 DNA tests of two of the three male participants, appear to be distinct to men sharing the same ancestor, "James Revell, Accomack, Matomkin Village." Future Big Y 700 tests of other men who share this same lineage will help us learn more about these new branches. The Lewis man, who is referenced in the original article, has since upgraded his Y DNA test to the Big Y 700. The Lewis man belongs to the O-FT45548 subclade which is one step down from the Big Y 700 subclade most recently achieved from the Big Y 700 DNA test of article's subject, Wesley Revels (O-BY60500). Wesley Revels' Big Y DNA subclade is one step down from the O-F3288 (East Asian) subclade reported in the original article. The Lewis man and Wesley Revels are also 4th-5th cousins in the Family Finder database, so they are autosomal DNA and close, Big Y DNA matches, doubly proving their shared ancestry. Both the Lewis man and Wesley Revels share the same patrilineal ancestor, "James Revell, Accomack, Matomkin Village" identified in the original article. Another Revels man who shares this same patrilineal ancestor has had the BY500 test, and his haplogroup (O-F3288) is one step up from Wesley Revels' haplogroup. Based on his relatively close, 111-marker match with Wesley Revels and the Lewis man, it is predicted that were this second Revels man to have the BY700 test, his haplogroup would likely resolve to either the O-FT45548 or the O-BY60500 haplogroup.
