DNA research has now confirmed that a relationship exists between James and Catherine BRITTON. It is highly likely that they share the same father and would be siblings. Parents names are unknown at this time.
James married Mary LAIRD some time before 1820. James and Mary had at least 10 children.[2]
The paternal and maternal lines are confirmed to the shared ancestral couple of Patriarch BRITTON and his wife as a result of multiple autosomal matches.[3][4]

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James 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 James:
