DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John 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:
I would support this merger but I am not in the chain here. This info matches the John Compton of our line who was killed on his first day of occupancy of his new farm in VA. I would include Compton-569 as being the same person. I invite any males of this line to contact me for possibly being tested for y-DNA in our research being conducted by our cousin from the Netherlands. If you are a male Compton from this line, please contact me and I will put you in touch with our researcher. Thank you.
Difference in dates to be noted in the biography until a source can be added.
