DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Rick or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Rick Watts:
Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 67 markers, haplogroup T-M70, FTDNA kit #470299, MitoYDNA ID T11080[compare]
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Rick Watts:
Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup U4A, FTDNA kit #470299, MitoYDNA ID T11079[compare]
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Rick:
We're doing our semi-annual check-in to ask whether you have made contributions to the project in the last six months?
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the 1776 Project that you respond to this check-in. Please post your response as a reply to this message on your page, for convenience of record keeping.
Thank you Betty. The last couple of years have been hard on me emotionally and I have had trouble giving myself the time to be productive on genealogical research. If you must remove me from the project, that is fine. Perhaps I will be able to be more active again, but I think that will only happen if my wife's health improves someday.
Rick, thank you for responding promptly. On the hope that things improve for you and your wife, we would like you to stay in 1776 Project. We appreciate your past contributions, and hope to hear more from you in the future.
I am checking in on behalf of the 1776 Project to announce the new project membership requirements and to verify that you are still interested in being a member of the project. All project members are being asked to join one of the project teams and also to make at least one project contribution every 6 months. We are also asking all project members to join the project's Google Group for project communications.
If you are interested in remaining with the Project, please reply to this comment or send me a message, request to join the Google Group, and let us know what team you would like to participate on.
We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.
If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.
I've finally made the connection with our family trees with Benjamin Nesmith marrying Judith Pettingell Davis (Allen). Unfortunately, I made an error and accidentally created a 2nd Benjamin Nesmith. I've asked for the two to be merged. I think it is you who will have to accept it. All good things, Rhonda
Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.
Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.
Since Zachariah & Rebecca are your 5th GGP and my sister-in-law, Betty Fae Wells, they are her 3rd GGP .... you two would be cousins. So I am asking you to look at her Dad, Ira Wells Template:Wells-11009 for their Family tree to see where your connection would be, will you do that?

There are category links to add to your ancestor's profiles and research links to learn more about your family. The Project is a good way to consolidate the WikiTree ancestors with historic connections to the years of 1773 (Boston Tea Party) to 1789 (ratification of the U.S. Constitution.) All patriot, loyalist, Hessians, French, Native Americans or any other profiles with a connection to these years should be linked to an appropriate category in the Project.
Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include 1776 Project and any other tag terms that you wish to follow on the GenealogistToGenealogist (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following
Some categories have a template (SAR) to add at the top of a biography. If not, add a category link by putting the category name such as Template:1776 Thank you.
Hi. I cannot answer your question about Thomas Mayhew. I got his biography from a distant cousin who I am unable to contact for further information on family genealogical questions (my cousin may be deceased).
We're doing our semi-annual check-in to ask whether you have made contributions to the project in the last six months?
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the 1776 Project that you respond to this check-in. Please post your response as a reply to this message on your page, for convenience of record keeping.
We look forward to hearing from you.
