Research notes
There's some evidence that John is of "Group 02d" in the Wall DNA Project at Family Tree DNA. One participating tester traces a line back to John. It would be beneficial to have at least a couple of testers with Y DNA matching this group. Are there any patrilineal descendants of John who want to join this study?
