DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph 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:
In the Bio this profile said:"Joseph was born in 1766 at Pelham, NH. He was the son of Joseph (Bailey) Bayley Jr and Deborah (Hardy) Bailey (1734-).[1]" - This link is incorrect. Joseph (Bailey) Bayley Jr was never married to Deborah Hardy. I have removed the connection and replaced it with the correct connection.
