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:
Douglas-6003 and Paton-810 appear to represent the same person because: same name & date - suspect LNAB "Douglas" in Douglas-6003 in error as mother did not marry William Douglas until 1853, well after birth of John Paton c. 1838
