DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Richard by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Belt-252 and Belt-167 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth year; same wives. Parents need to be resolved. If these are actually two different Richards, it's unlikely they both married Keturah Price in 1760, so wife needs to be resolved.
