B00 Charles Hoare b1586 Gloucester, England

One of two early, large New England families of our surname study from the early days of settling North America. This family is distinguished with many early luminaries such as a first governor of Massachusetts, first president of Harvard college, Senators, United States Attorney General, and such. Charles actually died in Gloucester and it is his widow Joanna who traveled to the Massachusetts Bay Colony with her younger children. Joanna herself remarried an Edmund Quincy. This family line ended up generating the first lady of our second president John Adams, who was also the mother of our sixth president John Quincy Adams. See an external Wikipedia Chart on the Quncy Political Family. Joanna's Quincy children and her Hoare children are half-siblings.

The FTDNA Hoar project this site built up around was started with a single tester in this line; a fourth cousin of Timothy Peterman. Although the other early New England line quickly grew with testers first, this line and its strong research over the years has pulled even in terms of scope and breadth of testers and work. To date, all of the researchers and testers are descended from the same Daniel; a grandson of Charles. We are looking to diversify to other sons and grandchildren. Have diversity below Daniel to date. There is a DNA study page for this family group. Some significant sub-branches exist with studies unto their own.

Malcolm has recently raised the issue of whether the history of Joanna Hinksman linked into this family is correct. This based on some research into the Hoare surname in Gloucester over the years. Hopefully he can further research and outlay his findings here.

¹: Tim Peterman has only yDNA tested one male descendant from his great-grandmother's line but well over 10 cousins tested in the FamilyFinder (atDNA) that are all in his tight family grouping.
²: DNA test results indicated we needed to move these descendants of James Horr from the Hezekiah Hoar (B01) line to here. See the page B01-S01 James Horr explaining this.
