DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Samuel by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Samuel:
I was looking for information to do a merge of Bascom-256 and Bascom-253. There is a birth date difference, so trying to resolve it led me to a Bascom Genealogy site. The children list for Samuel has two Joshua's on it. One born in 1750, died 1759. The other was born 1759, died 1797.
It also had a date for Lydia that is missing here.
Lydia BASCOM, b. 1765, d. 28 March 1816
Joshua BASCOM, b. 24 December 1750, d. 30 September 1759
I do not know if that is enough to make the merge, so i will make an unmerged match for Bascom-256 and Bascom-253.
