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:
If this is the same William Austin Dean - and maybe I'm being over zealous but I believe it is - he is the son of Privateer Captain William Dean and a woman from Africa. William Austin had three brothers I'm told, although I know only one name - Thomas Henry Dean. William Austin first married a Cartwright woman that I now believe to be Rebecca Green Ophelia Dean née Cartwright and although I know nothing of a daughter, I've been made to understand he and his first wife had a son who they called Billy (most likely a pet name for William)...
William Austin later married Priscilla Arabella Watson and together they had 3 children that I'm aware of - Catherine, Earnest Augustus, and Lawrence Edward.... Earnest was my great grandfather...
