== DNA Test Results Summary ==

STR Y-DNA test results Paternal relationship is confirmed through STR Y-chromosome DNA testing, as of Nov. 2021, of five male Harvey individuals who all descend via STR Y testing from three sons of Common Ancestor (CA) Zachariah Harvey b. 1711 (Harvey-1523) through independently developed genealogies as follows :

Harvey-3549 is 6th gr grandson thru 1st son John Harvey b.1636 (Harvey-1510). Harvey-3300 is 8th gr grandson of 2nd son Zachariah Harvey b. 1744 (Harvey-3292). Harvey-3307 is 6th gr grandson of 7th son Isaiah Harvey b. 1758 (Harvey-3291). Harvey-3308 & Harvey-3109 (brothers) are 4th gr grandsons of Isaiah Harvey (Harvey-3291) who, as shown above is 7th son of Zachariah Harvey b. 1711 (Harvey-1523).

SNP Big Y700 test results : Thomas Harvey b. 1641 (Harvey-2603) is the grandfather of Zachariah Harvey b. 1711. A sixth tested man (Harvey-16565), (7th C1xR to H-3308 & 3109), with a completely independently researched family genealogy, is a direct line male descendant of Thomas Harvey b. 1641. He has been Y-700 tested and is on the same E Y-700 tested haplogroup branch as H-3307, 3308 & 3109. (H-16565)'s SNP haplogroup is E-FT208196 . Harvey-3308, and Harvey-3109, brothers, reside at SNP E-FT86986 which is the current Terminal/Familial SNP haplogroup for their specific paternal line. Their 4th C1xR Harvey-3307 resides at SNP E-BY36895.

Now, we wait - hoping to find a direct line male descendant of William Harvey of Taunton (Harvey-243) for Y-700 testing to confirm that the Thomas Harvey b. 1641 line is truly descended from William Harvey of Taunton.

Biography

Thomas was born 17 Sep, 1682 in Taunton, Bristol, Massachusetts.^[1] He was the son of Thomas Harvey and Elizabeth Willis.

Thomas Harvey died (possibly/probably) on April 15, 1770; Thomas and many of his children are known to have moved from Norton, Bristol, Massachusetts to the Sharon/Amenia, CT vicinity so this fits Thomas b. 1682 ^[2]
