DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Stephen by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Brian Lee :
Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 67 markers, haplogroup R-BY133505, FTDNA kit #920936, MitoYDNA ID T15095[compare]
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Stephen:
The Stephen Lee, son of Walter and husband to Elizabeth Woodward Lee lived and died in Lebanon, Ct. Their son Stephen married Mercy Bentley at the First Congregational Church on May 20, 1725 in Lebanon. They had a son named Ezra Lee who married Sarah Hackley, according to state records in 1769 also in Lebanon. After his service in the Revolutionary War they relocated to Washing County, NY. From there their son David was born. My direct male line is through this line. Our YDNA, according to the Lee Surname DNA Research Project is a match to Walter Lee. The clue is Lebanon, the marriages and the fact that Elizabeth's father, John is buried in Lebanon. The confusion arises over two Stephen's from the same time period being married to Elizabeth's and having sons named Stephen.
Lee-8538 and Lee-6365 appear to represent the same person because: these are both Stephen Lee son of Walter living in approx the same time and place. I think you may have picked up dates that belong to Stephen Lee the son of John. They seem suspiciously similar.
Lee-8538 and Lee-6365 appear to represent the same person because: I believe these are the same persons - Stephen Lee son of Walter, but there is an error here somewhere. the Stephen Lee b. 2 Apr 1667 according to the church record in Farmington, is not the son of Walter, but the son of John & Mary - Are these similar dates just coincidence. & again It may just be coincidence -- Capt Stephen Lee who is buried in Berlin and was of Farmington died June 7 1753 (on his tombstone) ae 87 so b. about 1677. Your death date in Lebanon, CT June 7 1763 looks suspiciously similar.
