DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James 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 James:
31 May 1811, and adds two more children: Hannah (DOB 17 Jul 1812) and Jacob (1813). But the cemetery memorial for Hannah says the identification of James and Priscilla as her parents may be spurious.
