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:

Bryna, This is also confusing to me as it was pre-merge info from Carolyn. According to Encyclopedia American Quaker Genealogy p. 795 and Willson Family p. 26 Charity and was daughter of Henry and Charity. I have not seen the DAR research of Carolyn's mother. There is no Agnas listed in either of these sources and only 12 children are noted.

Is Agnas and Charity the children of Henry & Charity? This shows "by Elizabeth" and I'm confused who Elizabeth is.

Willets-157 and Willetts-74 appear to represent the same person... The surnames of Willet, Willets, Willetts and Willett appear to be used inter-changeably. Sources on Willets-157 use the spelling of Willetts; unfortunately, only transcriptions have been found without original primary sources. A compilation by Jacob Edgar Bookstäver in 1906 attempts to show the lineage is likely all tied together and this may be best handled by the Huguenot project. It is interesting to note the book's title "The Willet" and "Coat of Arms" denote the spelling Willet; though, multiple spellings are found through-out this book. In retrospect, proposing that profiles with both spellings need to be merged will likely become very tedious and a beginning note in the biography of this commonly found spelling conundrum is likely a good way to follow this lineage. In addition, all profiles whether found with the one spelling or the other should have the opposite spelling of that found on LNAB placed in the other last names field. I will post this profile today on G2G and tag it "Huguenot" to draw the attention of the project.
