Research Notes
The Graves Family Association revised their conclusions in 2016, based on DNA studies. This is unfortunate, because the common problem with DNA studies is a lack of a well-researched family history among the participants. This has emerged as a major stumbling block; "The cruel irony of genetic genealogy is that usually those being tested are those with the least amount of knowledge about their families."

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John 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 John:
Stone-19506 and Stone-69 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. dates of birth and death match, wives match, and bio shows parents match.
Stone-3246 and Stone-69 appear to represent the same person because: Same person date of birth is about 1648, profiles are much same and bio shows John had 2 wives
