DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph 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 Joseph:
I saw that recent changes were made, so I checked them out and compared to what I have. Definitely some sorting out needed for the children of Joseph and Mary. Of the 3 children currently shown for them, only Lucy has Martha Bunche as her mother; Elisha and Abel have unknown mothers. Their birth years are plausible, although Abel's is kind of stretching it.
My info only shows 1 child, Reuben (1755-1828), married to Mary Cole. His birth fits between Lucy and Abel. Unfortunately I have no sources. I'm sure this was entered in PAF long ago, from some photocopied family sheets that were circulated in the 1960s/70s between family members. Something to look into one of these days.
