DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Israel 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 Israel:
Howell-11599 and Howell-2716 appear to represent the same person because: Same birthdate and place. Same father. Same spouse (see bio of -2716). Same child on both profiles. Please merge
I'm trying to find the parents of Jerusha (Wickham) Wells (1742-1817). I think they are Samuel Wickham (1713-1778) & Abigail (Howell) Wickham (abt.1720-aft.1764). I also think Abigail's parents are Israel & Abigail Howell. I haven't been able to document it though.
Do you have any more information that might help me out? I don't have access to Ancestry so sources hidden behind their paywall are useless to me.
Thanks Jennifer
