This thread is dedicated to proposing new famous members of haplogroup R1b-U152 (S28) and its subclades.
So far, confirmed R1b-U152 carriers include:
- The House of Habsburg (L2+ based on the Habsburg Family Project)
- Abraham Lincoln (probably L2+ according to the Lincoln DNA project)
Here are a few prospective carriers that should be further investigated.
- George Washington : see here.
- Thomas Paine : the Payne FamilyTreeDNA Project has many R1b members, but only one with ancestry confirmed from Norfolk, where Thomas Paine's family originated. This member happens to be R1b-L2.
- Grover Cleveland : if the lineage I in the Cleveland DNA Project is the one of Moses Cleveland b.c. 1525 in Ipswich, then it seems that the U.S. president's haplogroup was U152 > L2 > L20+.
