DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jacob by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or 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 Jacob:
Jacob, the son of Hannes Jochem "Jacob" Mook or Moak, baptized in 1761 in Albany, New York, has a number of records in Albany and Schoharie County, New York. He is said to have married Mary McGhee (but I've not seen a record). I see no evidence that relocated to South Carolina. If there was a Jacob Moak in South Carolina, it's a different man.
