Joe Quarterman remarked:
"The Camden County Quartermans began when Joseph Quarterman immigrated to
Camden County Between 1825 and 1830. From all I have found, all the
Quarterman families in Camden County originated with Joseph Quarterman and
Martha Brockington, so there should be a common dna strain.
"Here's wishing this project will get off the ground and thanks for all the
hard work."

-
Are they related to the Liberty County Quartermans somewhere back in England?
-
If so, how far back, and where in England?
The answer to the first question appears to be yes.
Joe Pete Quarterman of the Camden County group is an exact match at 12 markers
for two Midway Quartermans.
As to how far back the two families are related, FamilyTreeDNA says
the probability of a common ancestor within the last
4 generations is | 33.57 |
8 generations is | 55.88 |
12 generations is | 70.69 |
16 generations is | 80.53 |
20 generations is | 87.07 |
24 generations is | 91.41 |
Joe Pete and jsq both know our genealogy back eight generations
(to Robert Quarterman in South Carolina, and to Ralfe Quatermaine
in Oxfordshire, respectively), so the connection was before that.
But if this table of probabilities is correct, probably not much before that.
