That is a fascinating forename! Is it biblical?

-Matt Ahlgren

[Matt A]

Also, what is the context for the statement of age? John Bennett Boddie and others who specialize in Virginia have demonstrated long ago that court-based ages can vary considerably from the otherwise-documented truth of the matter, and thus it is unwise to use them alone as a search for baptisms, at least when there is no other confirming evidence.

-Matt

[Matt A]

Of course, the forename is another matter. I was speaking in general terms.

You haven't figure out who he really was?? (Shem, one of 3 sons of Noah)
Only one who lived that long not to be otherwise.

I am aware that this is one traditional association. however, it was not
universal

[Darlene Athey-Hill]

Will, I just came across this post. Do you have additional information on the parents of Melchizedek Richardson? A person in the Athey-Whitfield Y-DNA project on FTDNA traces his direct paternal line to Melchizedek . . .

Thanks, Darlene Athey Hill

[D. Spencer Hines]

He's one of mine too.

[Wjhonson]

I don't believe *anybody* has additional information

How is that an Athey-Whitfield is actuallly a Richardson ?

What is more fascinating, he had sisters named Bathshna and Cumdalya.

[jmb...@albion.edu]

Is that supposed to be *Bathshua* (a Biblical name)?

[wjhonson]

There is no name Cumdalya
Clearly someone is misreading a register or something

No, it's Melchizedek, also a biblical name.

Genesis 14.

I was responding to brichar...@gmail.com, “What is more fascinating, he had sisters named Bathshna and Cumdalya.” Bathshua?

[Ted Richardson]

In response to wjhons...@gmail.com..... There are two ways a Richardson can be a y-DNA paternal-line-descendant of an Athey-Whitfield. 1. An Athey child can be adopted by a Richardson family. 2. An out-of-wedlock union. Ted Richardson (I am a y-DNA descendant of Melchizedeck Richardson).

Well there are more than two.
But do you have additional information on this Athey connection specifically?

I would point out that G-M201 is stunningly unhelpful however
even more so than most

And without the autosomal proof lines that establish the testee is even descending from Melchizedek, you could be testing a line that isn't even descending from him at all (NPE)
