DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William 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 William:
William's son Thomas died in Stonehouse, Lanarkshire. Is this the same William mentioned here?
"William Aiton, son of Andrew Aiton in Dyke, born in 1747, was farmer in Howlit-hole, and afterwards in Shawhead, parish of Stonehouse, and died in 1810: leaving two sons, Thomas and William ; and four daughters, Janet, Margaret, Isobel, and Christian."
