Chromosome 7 has good long lengths of Rawlings/Cotterill and quite a few matches over the entire length of Rawlings/Cotterill in total putting them all together. What does it all mean? Since I do not descend from the marriage of Mary Rawlins to Stephen Cotterell 28 Jan 1764 at Enford, Wiltshire nor do I descend from the marriage of Mary Cottrell (grand daughter of Mary and Stephen) to William Rawlins. Mary Rawlins is my 4th great grandaunt and her grand daughter Mary Cottrell is my 2nd cousin 4x removed. We all share my 5x great grandparents William Rawlins and Mary Ford who married 30 Sep 1741 at Wylye, Wiltshire. I do have Cotterill and Cotterill descendants who match me so one is left to assume the match that I share with them is Rawlings but there are lengths that do not have Rawlings matches as far as I can tell. But this length of chromosome that I have on Chromosome 7 which extends almost the entire length of the chromosome (just 3 cM at the end is Blake/Knight) has proven to be most interesting. It just happens that this particular chromosome is very heavy on the Rawlings grandparent side for me and overall I inherited more than the 25% Rawlings when one looks at inheriting from grandparents with 50% coming from each parent so 25% possibly from each grandparent but my Rawlings is more than 32%.
Looking at Chromosome 7 with just ten matches left to do all of the total length of the chromosome I inherited is covered by matches with the exception of 35 cM to 70 cM with the total length of the chromosome from 0 to 156 cM where I have a crossover that takes me to Blake for the last 3 cM. Two of the individuals are known to me that match on this chromosome and both are 3rd c 1xr living in England actually where most of my Rawlings family live other than Australia, Canada and a few in the United States. These two known cousins occupy from 106 cM to 156 cM. They have not inherited any Cotterill from the earlier generations but are related to descendants as I am including four of the matches and in this small chart I am just looking at 19 matches in total (the two known cousins may match some of the others but it does not show up in my charting). I am able though to say that from 77 cM to 156 cM is Rawlings and that includes 12 of the 19 matches. By luck and chance one of the matches has a derivative of the surname Cotterill/Cotterell which doesn't prove anything but is interesting but the other great part is that this match has a second match with me and runs from 28 cM to 34 cM. Of the remaining seven matches five of them are matching in this length between 28 cM to 34 cM. Just two matches (siblings) are outside of this particular grouping. At this point I am not concluding that the group from 0 to 27 cM is Cotterill without Rawlings because I have not recorded small lengths of matching (the group from 0 to 35 may well be both Rawlings and Cotterill in their ancestry). Tracing down the two siblings is probably a good plan so will think about that but it is the first time that I have had sufficient matches (and it caught my interest as I have not been thinking very deeply about it as I have made this trek through the chromosomes designing a database to produce a phased set of great grandparents). Rather I thought to leave that to the completed database to extract for me using AI. What we know about twelve of the matches is that they have Rawlings and do likely belong to the descendants of William Rawlings and Mary Ford because they resemble my two cousins who do not have a possible Cotterill line in their ancestry charting them back but would match any Rawlins/Rawlings that is shared. The group of five share their length with an individual with a derivative of the Cotterill/Cotterell name and as I check their trees I may also find Rawlins which is a future endeavour but they do not appear to match my two cousins known to me. The remaining two match three siblings on the Rawlings chromosome. Indeed four out of five siblings have various lengths of Rawlings matching the above matches here and there.
So the task today is to complete the last ten matches and I shall set myself to do that
Must do my solitaire puzzles but first a cup of tea to make. I already had my breakfast as it is Collection day and I was out early putting out the blue bins and the green bin. Life has changed and it is changing rapidly for Canada as we work hard to make ourselves Tariff Proof and we have no idea what is happening with USMCA/MUSCA/CUSMA which comes up for review later this year. But necessity is always the mother of invention and we are on that path as quickly as possible to protect jobs and increase industry. We must be careful not to waste money on items that are, at the moment, unimportant to the aim of making ourselves Tariff Proof. There does need to be a push towards manufacturing in Ontario particularly of small motor appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, dryers and the list is endless. Time for great improvements in these devices and an opportunity to start up businesses lost to competition during the NAFTA/CUSMA days. I have to say that my ShopVac does a great job as a vacuum but the noise is incredible; I would like to buy a new vacuum one of these days and there are a lot of opportunities for small businesses to be created particularly in Ontario where so many jobs have been lost because we are not Tariff Proof. I would say overall Auto Pact/NAFTA/CUSMA gave a good life to North Americans over the past sixty years but decisions have been made that make this cross-border trading difficult because we are not Tariff Proof. The Americans are our best friends and neighbours (one cannot share a border the length of ours and not be good friends and neighbours) and will continue to be but until we are tariff proof we must continue to support Canadian businesses that are not Tariff Proof. It is cold in Canada and many Canadians still go south but a large group (no doubt shivering most days) have elected to stay here and help us to become Tariff Proof. But the days will come when the traffic again increases going south especially during the long cold winters in Canada. In the meantime Tariff Proof is what we are heading towards.
