Family research connecting the Boyt, Haviland, Cockram and Pitt families of Purbeck, Dorset. This project was started in February 2020 after finding Ancestry DNA matches between Boyt and Haviland. Since that time various records have been found in the Parish records showing connections between the families around the Swanage (Sandwich) areas of Purbeck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swanage https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/corfe-castle
Research places the Haviland Family at the Wilkeswood Manor from about 1530. Wilkeswood from court records dated April 26 1697 indicated that it was in the possession of James Haviland located as part of Eastlington and Langton Wallis. It is located near the marble quarries outside Swanage. Part of: Eastlington and Langton Wallis, Map of Eastlington http://gigapan.com/gigapans/194434
James Haverland of Wilkeswood Manor married Elizabeth Cockram, dau of Rev Bruin Cockram, Rector of Swanich. Worth Matravers, Feb 8, 1679, William Boyte marries Bridget Haviland, dau of James Haviland.

Records of annual meetings of the Marblers/Stone Cutters were held at Corfe Castle and meetings reflect statements that some members were descendants of Phoenicians. However, no confirming information found except for records of "Phoenician coal money" being found by the local miners.

This rare YDNA has recently been discovered in ancient remains in Ireland. Migration of H2 is from the middle-east and certainly out of place for Anglo/Saxon Britain. Currently a mystery as to how they arrived in Ireland or Purbeck.
H2 Study 2021, 2nd Migration Route: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-94491-z?fbclid We highlight the improved performance obtained via YMCA by analyzing the Y-chromosomal haplogroup H2 (H-P96), a low-frequency YHG that is associated with early farmers during the Neolithic transition in Western Eurasia. We curated a data set of 46 previously published individuals (45 ancient and 1 modern), and 49 newly YMCA-sequenced individuals (all ancient). We show that our current understanding of H2, which is based largely on modern H2 samples (n = 20), is inconsistent with the ancient diversity of our H2 individuals. In resolving this ancient haplogroup, we can show two distinct migration paths along the Mediterranean and Danube for Neolithic groups from Anatolia to Western Europe, ultimately resulting in the Mediterranean-derived groups also reaching Britain and Ireland.
