A project is now available to study the Singletary surname, the surname's origins, and the origins of Richard Singletary (b. abt. 1585, England?; d. 1687, Massachusetts). He may be the father to the Singletary name in America. And the surname may have been fabricated to conceal his true identity. This project will attempt to discover if his true surname was Booth or if he was a member of a very small Singletary family in England also recorded as far back as the 16th century. More information is available at http://dougwilson.com/family/feature/singletary.asp.

Please help solve the mystery and join the Singletary surname project if you believe you descended from Richard Singletary's eldest son, Jonathan Dunham (or Donham) alias Singletary. Please read about the additional male line requirements and use the join link available at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/singletary/default.aspx.

I'm particularly hoping some males of the Dunham alias Singletary family line join this project to compare with any Singletary's that may have descended from someone other than the immigrant Richard Singletary.
