DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Zadok 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 Zadok:
In looking through some files, I added the Revolutionary War payment voucher information for Zadok Yelverton. I did not find him in the DAR database, but it is worth applying for if interested in DAR or SAR for him based on the payment voucher.
Donald, Zadok is my gggg Grandfather, through his son Asa to my maternal grandmother, Nancy Ann (Parlee) Elvington Brannon, married to Nathan Almarine Brannon. I have a cousin, Mickie Elvington Brown who had done the DNA test. She has a page in WikiTree. You may want to check her out.
