DNA
Complicated and lengthy DNA confirmation detail will be added here over time as I clean up this bio.
General Overview:
John Brady + Mary Brewer have 9 children who are double-first-cousins with the children of their sibling-couples:
Mary Brady + Daniel Brewer, Jr.
William Brady + Christene Brewer
We have multiple descendant matches for these 3 sets of sibling-marriages, at what might be expected for dbl-1C descendants.
Testing done at Ancestry, FamilyTreeDNA, plus uploads to GEDmatch for many testers.
Independent confirmation of atDNA match to Mary Brewer using her Brewer siblings (Peter, Sarah, Margaret, Abraham) who did NOT marry Brady siblings does exist and results are also consistent with expected cM and Segments.
Independent confirmation of atDNA match to John Brady using his Brady siblings (Martha, Susanna, Ebenezer Jr) who did NOT marry Brewer siblings does exist and results are also consistent with expected cM and Segments.
yDNA testing for Allen Brady (Big-Y) (representing Ebenezer Brady 1750-1804 line) and participation in FamilyTreeDNA "Brady yDNA Project" with confirmation of descendancy from Hugh Brady (c. 1709 abt 1779) of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
