DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jonathan 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 Jonathan:
If you look at the DNA Connections - the ones with GEDMatch - it appears that not all of these have matches. This seems to indicate a problem in the tree somewhere below Samuel Denton Jr. (1775-1825) I think?
