DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Henry 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 Henry:
Madison-341 and Madison-137 appear to represent the same person because: same parents, only one son named Henry. Death date on -341 is incorrect if he had a son born in 1744
