DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John 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 John:
Alcock-421 and Alcott-52 appear to represent the same person because: Despite the difference in last name they appear to be the same person, same date of birth and death.
The original spelling of this family of Alcott's was Alcock (Thomas Alcock and George Alcock were on a ship as part of the 1630 Winthrop Fleet).
As time progressed the Alcock had variants such as Alcox/Allcox and then sometime in the very early 1800's Allcott and then Alcott began to be used.
Supposedly Amos Bronson Alcott and his cousin Dr. William Alcott decided Alcott sounded better than Alcox.
So now I am an Alcott by birth instead of Alcox or Alcock. But that's okay, I'll answer to any of the three.
