DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William 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 William:
While working on Phineas Howe from my family, I discovered that his wife, Experience Pollard was the daughter of your William and Experience (Wheeler) Pollard - from Bolton, Worcester, Mass. Vital Records. I also saw there were six other children in the records, and I added them, too. They are all now listed as children of William and Experience with appropriate citations. I hope this helps!
