DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Enoch 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 Enoch:
Edwards-74 and Edwards-21 appear to represent the same person because: I am doing research on the ancestors of Delmer Ellery Edwards, from Fort Fairfield, ME. His father was Gen. Clark S. Edwards, whose father was Enoch Edwards. In doing my search on Wikitree for Enoch, I noticed that there were two Enochs, with the same wife (Clark's mother) yours and another "orphaned" Enoch profile. I adopted the orphan and am proposing a merge. Thank you, Jennifer
