DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Richard 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 Richard:
Dicken-458 and Dicken-34 appear to represent the same person because: The names are the same. A marriage license was found on Family Search. The dates are estimates on both profiles.
Dicken-458 and Dicken-34 do not represent the same person because: These two men are not from the same areas, either in their birth or death. It's apparent they were not married to the same person since she also is not from either Culpeper, VA or Kentucky. The marriage license in question was executed in Louisa County, VA which is also the location that Richard was called during the Revolution. These are two different men, though they may be cousins.
Dicken-34 and Dickens-1004 appear to represent the same person because: He is the husband of Elizabeth Sansom, who he married in Goochland Va in 1780. The family name is Dicken, not Dickens. Dickens was used by family members after Charles Dickens became famous. Most sources use Dicken as the spelling.
