West (Douglas - Glendinning - Glendonwyn - Redheugh) East

A lot of the Glendinning are of R-L193, and it is said by James V. Elliott admin Border Reiver DNA about 37% have this R-L193 in them.
It is felt that the name originated from place names of the same region. The Glendonwyn surname likely was first of the names which were from Douglas which obtained land of Glendonwyn. Between Douglas, and Glendonwyn is Glendinning, though a placename likely note a noted Douglas land ownership name. The Glendonwyn, may have adopted the Glendinning name being their family may be of Douglas and Glendonwyn.

Elliott
Jim Elliott, administrator of the Elliott surname project, reports that the Elliotts of the A1 clade are
those of Clan Elliott, the ones thought to descend from the border Elliotts of Liddesdale and
Roxburghshire. They constitute about 37% of all Elliotts who have tested at least 25 markers and
are by far the largest single group among Elliotts.
Glendonwyn
The A1 clade contains an overwhelming 70% of all men of Glendonwyn-derived surnames who
have had their Y DNA tested, which supports the tradition that this is a surname group with a
single origin.
