DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Francis 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 Francis:
While he lived at Hampton, NH, I doubt he was born Hampton, England. Hampshire, England is more likely, and his parents are unknown. The parents here are a confusion with Richard Swaine and Baselle, his wife, we now know to be Basille Saunders.
