DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William 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 William:
Elizabeth Runions married William Crowder III son of James Crowder, not William Crowder Jr. son of William Crowder. Elizabeth and William Crowder only had one known child William Henry Crowder
