DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William 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 William:
William was a son of Sarah Perkins (apparently unmarried), daughter of Jacob Perkins. Source: http://www.oocities.org/supchara/Genealogy/Perkins5.html
