DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Aquilla 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 Aquilla:
Scott-41020 and Scott-12849 do not represent the same person because: According to church records, Daniel and Elizabeth Scott had a child they named Aquila Scott that was born 9/1722 and died 7/13/1724 but they also had another child they named Aquila born 11/18/1724 and died 3/7/1760. This is recorded as the next entry in the church register.
