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:
Birth
1704 - Chowan Precinct,Chowan,North Carolina Colony
Death
11/10/1750 - Lenoir, Caldwell, North Carolina Colony
Mother
Elizabeth Garnett
Father
Robert Foster
As long as John P. Brown, who I'm directly descended from, lies on this Brown-45 paternal line, Ydna matches link back in the United States to the shores of Virginia around areas of Isle of WIght, Surry County, and Essex Counties in Virginia. Also, there are close matches with a Mathis, and Matthews surname in same areas of Virginia from similar time. As to the surname it most likely is Browne. There are a few rather 'close' familytreedna matches outide of the United States in Southern England with closest match Yeovil, UK and next Weymouth, UK. As to distant ydna matches, there are quite a few from Norway, Sweden, and Finland, with rather quite a few ydna12 matches in Finland. My Ydna matches most closely with an Ancient Sample in Sweden from Vastehus, Sweden. The sample is wes005. https://blog.familytreedna.com/scandinavian-ancient-dna/
I'm still trying to find the paternal path to isle of wight, va that some records indicate. My YDNA Haplogroup is I-m253. I'm in Brown Project, group 45, just in case the path links to this individual. I have also made some assumptions for father of John P. Brown in 1830.
