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.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:
John McConnell Cook named his son William Sloan Cook. My relative was Samuel Y. Cook b. 1823 Blount Co TN, who died in Oregon in March 1888 at La Grande, Union Co OR. He had previously been in Yamhill OR. He is a registered Oregon Pioneer. He also named his son William Sloan Cook.
It is obvious that John McConnell Cook and Samuel Y. Cook are brothers. Both born in Blount Co TN, both in Oregon early, both nameing their sons the same.
