Just this morning, I received a response from an autosomal match with me from a descendant of Massalva Brooks Hooper, the daughter of Richard Jr. who married Obediah Hooper.
My FTDNA kit is 177383. There is a group of 10 plus one more at Ancestry that all trace to Richard's two sons, Richard III and Robert. FTDNA designates our Haplogroup as I2a2b. 23andMe uses I2b2. The descendants of Richard Jr. are the first I2a2b group on the FTDNA Brooks surname page.
My RootsWeb site is:

So, now we have yDNA of Richard and he apparently passed on some autosomal DNA that has survived nearly 300 years.
