DNA Note

Anonymous Simonds and Matthew Simonds match on 104 out of 111 Y-DNA markers at Family Tree DNA (kits 75542 & 310372) confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA William Simonds (1611-1672) of Woburn, Massachusetts. Anonymous Simonds and Matthew Simonds are 9th cousins 1x removed. The father of Joseph Simonds (1652-1733) has been DNA confirmed because one of his descendants (kit 310372) had a 104 out of 111 yDNA STR match at Family Tree DNA with a descendant of William's eldest son Caleb Simonds (1649-1712) (kit 75542). The genealogies of the two kits can be seen at the Simmons Y-Chromosome DNA Surname Project.
