DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Samuel 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 Samuel:
Ely-140 and Ely-152 appear to represent the same person because: I propose a merge of these 2 Samuels with the same death dates. It is likely that Samuel was born in 1668, or after 1665, because he had a brother named Samuel who died in infancy in 1665, so the longer-living Samuel was probably the replacement child.
