DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Reuben 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 Reuben:
Radford-782 and Radford-459 appear to represent the same person because: According to 1810 Census, the earliest Reuben and Phoebe could be born is 1765 (age 44 in 1810). Considering they had 4 children under age 10, I think 1770 might be a better estimate.
