MayflowerDNA1620: /* Allied Families */

==Status summary==
===Completed as of May 18, 2019: ===
* ''Big Y-500'' (original Big Y) test completed for a descendant of "Pilgrim" John Howland
* ''Y Elite'' test for Henry Howland Jr. descendant completed (kit '''E8PEF''', tested previously at FTDNA as kit #37929).
* ''Big Y-700'' test completed for a male Howland who cannot trace his Y-DNA line (via the traditional "paper" trail) to one of the Howland brothers. This test confirms he descends from one of the brothers (and hints where he may descend from Arthur Howland, brother to "Pilgrim" John and Henry {II}).
* Comparing the above tests, a SNP (A9705) has been found in a descendant of "Pilgrim" John Howland, which not found in the other Howland results. This SNP available for testing at [https://www.yseq.net YSEQ DNA Origins Project] for $18.00 (plus an additional fee for the DNA swab) and may be available or for $15 (plus fee for the DNA swab) at [https://www.fullgenomes.com Full Genomes Corp].
* Recruiting additional Howlands for further SNP testing. Any male who believes they are a patrilineal (all male line) descendant of John Howland should [[Read me First|Read me First]]

===Completed as of October 7, 2024===
* Two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have Big Y tested. They both have fall under the R1b-A9708 clade (which descendants of his brothers also belong to).
* Three patrilineal descendants of Arthur Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FT62874
* Three patrilineal descendants of Henry Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FGC58211
* One individual who does not descend from Henry Howland (father of the above three brothers) has Big Y tested and been found to be positive for a clade immediately above the R1b-A9708 clade for the three brothers. This individual descends from a close family member (likely father, grandfather or great-grandfather) of Henry Howland of Fen Stanton.

===Still to do as of October 7, 2024===
* Identify where in the line of Pilgrim John Howland the A9705 SNP is found by testing select folks.
* Next Generation Sequence (NGS) test other lines of Pilgrim John Howland to find other SNPs unique to descendants of Pilgrim John.

==Background==
Names in '''bold font''' have Y-DNA descendants who have Y-DNA tested.

===Speculative Origins<ref>The parent clade of R-A9708 is R-A9703. A9703 is currently comprised of ten SNPs. One individual with a Baker surname has Big Y-700 tested A9703+ but A9708-. He lists his Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) as Frederick Baker, born 1850. Research has indicated where this Frederick Baker was baptized at Newnham, Kent, England on 10 Nov 1850. The record did not name a father, but gave his mother's name as Charlotte Baker. Census records indicate where she was unmarried when Frederick was born. Census records also indicate where a James Howland was living in Newnham, age 22 in the UK 1851 Census. He was listed as a servant and living in the household of Thomas Baker Elvy who was named after Thomas Baker, the latter was apparently was an uncle to Charlotte.</ref>===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society has hired a noted Mayflower passenger origins researcher (Caleb Johnson) to trace the origins of the Howland family. His first report was printed in ''The Howland Quarterly'' MAR 2016, pp. 10-20.

Johnson reported he found no evidence of the Howland family in Fen Stanton prior to the time of Henry Howland (father of Pilgrim John). We know Henry was living there as early as 1604, when his son, Simon, was baptized (from the Bishop's Transcript records). Unfortunately both the Parish records, and the Bishop's Transcripts are mostly missing from this time period, so we cannot state when Henry moved to Fen Stanton, nor know whether any of the other children were born there or elsewhere.



A Big Y-700 test result of an individual who does not bear the Howland surname documented where he shares all of the Fen Stanton Howland SNPs with a single exception A9708. Researching the patrilineal ancestry of this individual revealed where he is a Howland descendant from Kent, England. A researcher looked through the early English probate records for Howlands in Kent found the wills of the following: Henry Howling of Brook (1479/80), John Howlene of Brook (1554/55), Simon Howlyn of Brabourne (1522/3) and Simon Howlend of Wye (1524). Any of these may be of the patrilineal line of the Fen Stanton Howlands.

===Biography===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-21 '''John Howland''']<ref>[https://pilgrimhall.org/john_howland.htm Pilgrim Hall Museum] John Howland biography.</ref> was the son of [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-326 Henry Howland] and his wife [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-42345 Margaret] of Fen Stanton, Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England. His death record<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=wm4xUcRsk-sC&q=John+Howland#v=snippet&q=John%20Howland&f=false Plymouth Church records I:147(173)]</ref> stated he died 23 Feb 1672[/3] in his "eightieth yeare". The [http://www.Pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org Pilgrim John Howland Society] as well as the [https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ General Society of Mayflower Descendants] accepts an estimated birth date of 1592 for John based on this death record.

Per [http://mayflowerhistory.com/howland/ Caleb Johnson:]
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">It has been traditionally reported that John Howland was born about 1592, based on his reported age at death in the Plymouth Church Records. However, ages at death were often overstated, and that is clearly the case here. John Howland came as a servant for John Carver, which means he was under 25 years old at the time (i.e. he was born after 1595). William Bradford, in the falling-overboard incident, refers to Howland as a "lusty young man," a term that would not likely have applied to a 28-year old given that Bradford himself was only 30. Bradford did call 21-year old John Alden a "young man" though. Howland's wife Elizabeth was born in 1607: a 32-year old marrying a 17-year old is a relatively unlikely circumstance. Howland's last child was born in 1649: a 57-year old Howland would be an unlikely father. All these taken together demonstrate that Howland's age was likely overstated by at least 5 years. Since he signed the "Mayflower Compact", we can assume he was probably at least 18 to 21 years old in 1620.</blockquote>

John came aboard the Mayflower as a servant to Gov. John Carver. Howland's incident during the voyage was duly cataloged by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Plymouth_Plantation William Bradford]:
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.</blockquote>

Some speculate Howland came above board in order to get a breath of fresh air. However, others speculate he may have been used by Gov. Carver as an intermediary between the passengers and the crew. It is rumored their landing at Cape Cod (which clearly fell outside of the land the company was originally chartered) may have been a deliberate attempt to re-negotiate this charter for terms more favorable. If true, it is possible John Howland may have served a vital role in this decision.

John Howland survived the great sickness during the winter of 1620-21 and apparently took over as the head of Gov. Carver's household after the Governor's death in Apr 1621. At this time, "households" were not only family members, but was a means of housing the passengers in the new colony.

It is believed John married [[Joan Hurst & Elizabeth Tilley (mtDNA)|Elizabeth Tilley]] sometime after Aug 1623. This was presumably the fifth marriage in the colony (after Edward Winslow, Francis Eaton, John Alden & William Bradford [married 14 Aug 1623]). It is also believed they were married sometime prior to the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/landdiv.html 1623 division of land], which actually occurred during what we now consider the first three months of 1624 (Jan - Mar.) This date of marriage is also consistent with the births of their two oldest children (Desire ca 1625 & John who told Judge Sewell he was born 24 2[mo, Apr] 1627.) These two were also included in the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/cattlediv.html 1627 division of cattle].

Nathaniel Morton's eulogy: <blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">The 23th of February 1672 Mr. John Howland senir of the Town of Plymouth Deceased; hee was a Godly man and an ancient professor in the wayes of Christ; hee lived untill he attained above eighty yeares in the world, hee was one of the first Comers into this land and proved a usefull Instrument of Good in his place & was the last man that was left of those that Came over in the shipp Called the May Flower, that lived in Plymouth; hee was with honor Intered att the Towne of Plymouth on the 25 of February 1672.</blockquote>

It is said John was the first individual [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6613808/john_howland buried at Burial Hill]<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=1grmpqYO44sC&pg=PA11&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false Handbook of Old Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts: Its History, Its Famous Dead, and Its Quaint Epitaphs by A.S.

===Y-DNA Descendants<ref>Two Y-DNA lines listed at [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-21 wikitree profile for John Howland]</ref>===
John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley had ten children: [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Desire]] (c1625) (Lieut.) John (II)(1627-1699), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Hope]] (1629), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Elizabeth]] (1631), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Lydia]] (1633), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Hannah]] (1637), (Capt.) Joseph (1640-1703), (Lieut.) Jabez (1644-1711), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Ruth]] (1646) and (Ens.) Isaac (1649-1723). Several descendants of (Lieut.) John have done Y-DNA testing as well as one descendant of (Capt.) Joseph and one descendant of (Liet.) Jabez. The DNA test results (primarily STR testing) show all of these descendants are genetic/biological cousins and have identified the Y-DNA haplogroup for the Howland family.

Utilizing STR results to determine whether a male Howland descends from Pilgrim John Howland, or one of his brothers is quite risky. STRs are prone to mutate much quicker than SNP results, and they are also prone to back mutations (which hides the mutation) and parallel mutations (where the same mutation happens in two separate lines). Given these risks, and predictions based on STR mutations really need to be confirmed with either traditional "paper-trail" research, or SNP testing to prove the relationship.

Within the 111 STR results, the four descendants of Arthur Howland all have DYS464a=16 (while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have DYS464a=15). In addition, three of the four Arthur descendants have DYS576=18 (while the descendants of John & Henry as well as the fourth Arthur Howland descendant has DYS576=17). Both of these mutations show up within the first 37 STR markers (and everyone in the project has tested at least 37 STRs). Given the fact there are two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both DYS464a=16 and DYS576=18 are descendants of Arthur while males who have only one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Arthur.

Fewer individuals have extended their STR marker testing to 111 markers. We currently have three descendants of Arthur, four descendants of Pilgrim John and four descendants of Henry who have tested 111 STRs. The four descendants of Henry all have DYS485=14 (with all others being DYS485=15) All four also have DYS505=11 (with all others being DYS505=12). Once again, because we have two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both mutations are descendants of Henry while males who only have one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Henry.

There are no STR mutations (within the 111 STRs) found to be in common with Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, but in general, results which do not have any of the above STR mutations may well be descendants of Pilgrim John.

===NGS/WGS DNA testing===
Currently, there are eight Y-DNA Howland descendants who have taken the Big Y-700 test. Two are Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, three are descendants of Henry and three are descendants of Arthur. They all fall under [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u106/about Haplogroup R1b-U106] where they have been classified as: Z9>Z30>Z2>Z7>Z8>Z1>Z344>Z6>A96>S10415>A9703>A9708 This last clade is comprised of a single SNP (which is available for testing at YSEQ.org).

The three Henry Howland descendants (from two different sons, Zoeth and Samuel) have tested positive for FGC58211 and FGC58203 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Arthur have tested negative for these SNPs. The three Arthur Howland descendants have all tested positive for FT62784 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have tested negative for this SNP.

The two descendants of Pilgrim John Howland do not share any SNPs in common with each other, but the do have a STR mutation (within the additional 600+ STRs tested by the Big Y-700) which is not shared by descendants of Arthur or Henry. FTY1094=17 is found in descendants of Pilgrim John while the descendants of Arthur and Henry both have FTY1094=16. Ideally, we would like to have more Pilgrim John Howland descendants take the Big Y-700 test to confirm whether or not this mutation is found in all Pilgrim John Howland descendants (or to pinpoint when this STR mutation occurred).

===Availability of Y-DNA SNP testing===
Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) currently does not offer individual Y-SNP testing and the only test they have to discover your Y-SNPs is the Big Y-700 test (regular price US $449, but they do have sales on this test from time to time). However, YSEQ does have [https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=23383&osCsid=ff8e8a0b0438d0092cce73f75797197d A9708] for purchase (US $3.00 for the DNA sample kit and US $19.00 for the Y-SNP test).

===Usefulness of ''Big Y'' and ''Y-Elite tests''===
DNA mutations are random events, like the roll of a dice. As they are random, we can't say exactly how long it has been since a mutation occurred. However, just like rolling a seven on a pair of dice, we know how often a mutation should occur on average. For the part of the Y chromosome covered by a typical Big Y-700 test, this is about once per two to three generations, but it could vary from having more than one mutation in a generation to going several generations without a mutation.

Consequently, most of the time, we don't expect to separate a father and a son with a mutation we find. Indeed (while it isn't generally recommended), there have been a number of cases where both a father and his son have taken a Big Y test. In most cases, neither test shows a mutation the other doesn't. However, there are exceptions to this. These are caused not only by new mutations in the son's test, but also slight differences between the two Big Y tests.

Big Y, like all such tests, reads chunk-sized pieces of DNA. Depending on how these chunks are split up, slightly different parts of the Y chromosome will be tested. So two Big Y tests might only overlap on 98% of the mutations they test. The other 2% of mutations will only be called in one test or the other. Alternatively, they may be accurately read in one test, but read below the threshold for quality control in the other test. Consequently, there may be more "private" mutations that separate two people than we expect.

The real importance in doing the Big Y or Y-Elite test is the ability to compare your results with others. This works at all different levels.

We currently have a number of Big Y (and similar test) results across the Howland family. This has allowed us to determine where the A9708 clade belongs the Howland family, descendants of Henry Howland (c1565-1635) of Fen Stanton, England. As more Howlands take this type of test we will be able to determine subclades defining his descendants, eventually separating the families of his three sons (John, Henry & Arthur) and later defining more recent branches.

It also works in the opposite level, in discovering related surnames. Originally, the Wing family was the closest non-surname match to the Howlands. However, recently another Big Y tester came in and was found to be positive for a SNP not found in the Wing family but found within the Howland family (A9701). This other tester descends from a Rogers family (NOT related to Thomas and Joseph Rogers of the Mayflower). Going further back in time, Big Y results shows where the Howland/Rogers family shares a clade (S10415) with the following families: Wing, Maybury, Baldwin, Rogers, Bishop, and Foat. More families are found at each clade level above S10415 which shows the degree of relationship similar to first, second, third etc. cousins.

Recently an individual (who does not bear the Howland surname, but almost certainly has an NPE and Howland ancestry in England) has Big Y-700 tested and been found to be positive for all of the Howland SNPs except R-A9708. Thus this individual descends from a fairly close ancestral Howland of the older Henry Howland of Fen Stanton. This person's ancestry is from Kent County and (as noted above) there are several probate records of various Howlands, etc. in Kent in the 15th & 16th Centuries, so it is likely this is also where the patrilineal ancestry of Henry Howland is from.

Another related item is the ability to estimate the age of each of these clades. We know the age of the Howland family in America starts with the birth of their father, Henry Howland ca 1565. The Howlands all share at least eleven SNPs not found in the next closest family (Rogers). While the mutations are random events, so we cannot state precisely how much time elapses between one mutation and another, we can say a mutation happens '''on average''' a little over every 80 years. Thus, the Rogers family is roughly 80*11=880 or so years before ca 1565 (or roughly 650 AD). The other surnames at the S10415 level are one SNP above the Howland/Rogers clade (A9701), so dates roughly to 575 AD or so.

===The Howland teeth===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society (PJHS) owns several acres of land at Rocky Nook, Kingston. This land included the home (in late life) of Pilgrim John Howland (which was inherited by his son Jabez) and across the Road (Howland Lane) the homestead of Joseph Howland (son of Pilgrim John) which was inherited by Joseph's eldest son, James. For many years, the PJHS has been exploring the sites with archaeological digs. During one such dig at the Joseph Howland site, two wisdom teeth (third molars) were discovered, which were apparently extracted from someone living at the house. This home site appears to have been abandoned sometime after the death of James Howland, so it is likely the teeth were either from one of Joseph Howland's children or one of James Howland's children. The PJHS is currently exploring the possibility of having DNA testing performed on the teeth.

==Summary of findings==
We currently have two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland who have publicized their NGS/WGS test results. One descendant is from John (II) and the other descendant is from Jabez (both sons of Pilgrim John). These two descendants do not share any SNPs which are not shared by the patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John's brothers, so there is currently no SNP which definitively documents all of Pilgrim John's line (as separate from his brothers lines). The John (II) descendant has documented two SNPs not found in the Jabez line (A9705 and Z18598) while the descendant of Jabez has documented two currently unnamed SNPs not found in the John line (13599901 and 12315744). Thus anyone who falls into the Howland A9703 clade who also tests positive for one of these four SNPs must descend from Pilgrim John. But not all Pilgrim John patrilineal descendants would test positive for any of these four SNPs. In addition, any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for A9705 or Z18598 must descend from John, son of Pilgrim John; while any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for 13599901 and/or 12315744 must descend from Jabez, son of Pilgrim John.

A9705 has been made available for individual SNP testing, but for technical reasons Z18598 is not able to be made available.

We now need to identify where along the line of descent the A9705 and the unnamed SNPs occurred.

==Allied Families==
The following families are connected to John Howland via marriage to descendants:

[[Gorham (Y-DNA)|Gorham]] (Capt. John Gorham married Desire Howland). Y-DNA falls under I-FTD60129 based on Big Y-700 test results.

[[Chipman (Y-DNA)|Chipman]] (Elder John Chipman married Hope Howland). Y-DNA falls under I2-FT159479 based on Big Y-700 test results of two descendants.

[[Dickinson (Y-DNA)|Dickinson]] (John Dickinson was the second husband to Elizabeth Howland). Y-DNA falls under R-BY18871 based on Big Y-700 test results for nine descendants.

[[Hawes (Y-DNA)|Hawes]] (John Hawes married Desire Gorham). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on the 37 STR markers for two descendants

[[Baxter (Y-DNA)|Baxter]] (Thomas Baxter married Temperance Gorham). To date no known patrilineal descendants of Thomas Baxter have Y-DNA tested.

John '''possibly''' married first<ref>There is not adequate genealogical proof of this supposed first marriage.</ref>, perhaps in Boston, Mass., a wife named Frances<ref>NOT Francis Foote</ref>, by whom he had one son, John<ref>This son John was '''not''' named in his father's will. If he was, in fact, a son of John Dickinson of Barnstable, then it is likely he died before his father, and probably without any children</ref>, born 28th 5th mo. 1648, who was not a descendant of [[Howland (Y-DNA) |John Howland]] of the ''Mayflower''. John married [[Joan Hurst & Elizabeth Tilley (mtDNA)#mtDNA Descendants |Elizabeth Howland]] in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony on 10 July 1651. Capt. John Dickinson died in Oyster Bay before 12 March 1683, the date his will was proved.
John and Elizabeth Dickinson lived in Barnstable, on Cape Cod, during the first few years of their marriage and their first few children must have been born there. In 1651, Capt. John Dickinson bought a plot of land in Barnstable which contained eight acres near where the courthouse now stands.
By May 1658, John and his family were living in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. In February 1659 John Dickinson bought land from John Hinksman. John paid for it in part with cloth and liquor, indicating he was a merchant and trader. On 15 February 1660, the town granted John Dickinson a house and lot at the south end of Oyster Bay, with a first share of meadow land. The next year, 1 February 1661, he was granted additional land, 10 rods deep, at the end of his property. Many other grants followed. On 12 January 1665/6, John Dickinson of Oyster Bay bought five acres of land from John Finch "of Fairfield on ye Main, formerly an inhabiter" of Oyster Bay.
In 1671 John Dickinson was appointed by the town to obtain a letter from the Rev. William Leverich, who had since moved to Huntington, Long Island, then to Connecticut, and then back to Newton, Long Island. He was asked to discuss the subject of the rights of the Town of Oyster Bay with the Town of Hempstead. The same year John sold his rights in Hog Island, across from the Town of Oyster Bay, to Capt. Richard Morris. John Dickinson and Richard Harcut were chosen as overseers in 1676.
Capt. John Dickinson died about eight years before his wife, Elizabeth. In his will dated 26 January 1680, proved 12 March 1683, John gave his son, Joseph Dickinson, the land and meadow previously settled on him. He gave five shillings each to two of his daughters, Elizabeth and Mercy, who had already received their portions, indicating that they were both married but he did not mention their married names. His widow, Elizabeth, was given the right to divide the rest of the estate among his six youngest children, named as Lydia, Mehetable, Samuel, Hannah, James and Jabez, making special provision for Jabez, who was incapable of caring for himself. Overseers were John Underhill, Sr., John Feakes, Sr., and his own son, Joseph Dickinson. The witnesses were Thomas Townsend and Thomas Weekes.

Capt. John Dickinson and Elizabeth Howland had nine children: [[Allied Families (Y-DNA)#HOWLAND |Elizabeth]], Joseph, [[Allied Families (Y-DNA)#HOWLAND |Mercy]], Jabez, [[Allied Families (Y-DNA)#HOWLAND |Lydia]], Capt. Samuel, [[Allied Families (Y-DNA)#HOWLAND |Mehitable]], [[Allied Families (Y-DNA)#HOWLAND |Hannah]] & James.

==DNA Results '''R-BY18871'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/DickasonDNA?iframe=ydna-results-overview Dickason,-er, -in, -en son, etc. surname DNA Project] (Group A) contain a number of individuals, most claiming patrilineal (all male-line) descent from Capt. John Dickinson.
This includes descendants of two different sons of John & Elizabeth Dickinson (James and Joseph), who have matching Y-DNA, thus proving both lines of descent from the same individual (presumably Capt. John).

===NGS/WGS testing===
Some of these descendants have taken FTDNA's Big Y test and their results indicate where they fall under: U106>>Z18>FGC79182>Z17>BY18864>FT91392>BY18866<ref>Originally the descendants fell under this haplogroup. Later, some individuals were found to be positive for BY18866 but negative for BY18871. These individuals do '''not''' descend from John Dickinson, but descend from a patrilineal ancestor of John.</ref>>BY18871.

The project has started to identify subclades below BY18871 which correspond with different lines of descent. These includes FT16969 (falling somewhere under elder son James) and FT108877 (falling somewhere under younger son Joseph).

===Lineage of some of the DNA testers===
Several of the individuals tested are unable to trace their Y-DNA ancestry back to John Dickinson & Elizabeth Howland. However, their Y-DNA test results clearly indicate where they are related to this family in a "genealogically significant" timeframe. It is likely these individuals do descend from John & Elizabeth, but it is possible they may descend from a prior marriage of John (which has never been confirmed) or descend from a brother or close cousin to John.

* ''Big Y-700'' test completed for a male Howland who cannot trace his Y-DNA line (via the traditional "paper" trail) to one of the Howland brothers. This test confirms he descends from one of the brothers (and hints where he may descend from Arthur Howland, brother to "Pilgrim" John and Henry {II}).
* Comparing the above tests, a SNP (A9705) has been found in a descendant of "Pilgrim" John Howland, which not found in the other Howland results. This SNP available for testing at [https://www.yseq.net YSEQ DNA Origins Project] for $18.00 (plus an additional fee for the DNA swab) and may be available or for $15 (plus fee for the DNA swab) at [https://www.fullgenomes.com Full Genomes Corp].

===Completed as of October 7, 2024===
* Two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have Big Y tested. They both have fall under the R1b-A9708 clade (which descendants of his brothers also belong to).
* Three patrilineal descendants of Arthur Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FT62874
* Three patrilineal descendants of Henry Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FGC58211
* One individual who does not descend from Henry Howland (father of the above three brothers) has Big Y tested and been found to be positive for a clade immediately above the R1b-A9708 clade for the three brothers. This individual descends from a close family member (likely father, grandfather or great-grandfather) of Henry Howland of Fen Stanton.

===Still to do as of October 7, 2024===
* Identify where in the line of Pilgrim John Howland the A9705 SNP is found by testing select folks.
* Next Generation Sequence (NGS) test other lines of Pilgrim John Howland to find other SNPs unique to descendants of Pilgrim John.

==Background==
Names in '''bold font''' have Y-DNA descendants who have Y-DNA tested.

===Speculative Origins<ref>The parent clade of R-A9708 is R-A9703. A9703 is currently comprised of ten SNPs. One individual with a Baker surname has Big Y-700 tested A9703+ but A9708-. He lists his Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) as Frederick Baker, born 1850. Research has indicated where this Frederick Baker was baptized at Newnham, Kent, England on 10 Nov 1850. The record did not name a father, but gave his mother's name as Charlotte Baker. Census records indicate where she was unmarried when Frederick was born. Census records also indicate where a James Howland was living in Newnham, age 22 in the UK 1851 Census. He was listed as a servant and living in the household of Thomas Baker Elvy who was named after Thomas Baker, the latter was apparently was an uncle to Charlotte.</ref>===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society has hired a noted Mayflower passenger origins researcher (Caleb Johnson) to trace the origins of the Howland family. His first report was printed in ''The Howland Quarterly'' MAR 2016, pp. 10-20.

Johnson reported he found no evidence of the Howland family in Fen Stanton prior to the time of Henry Howland (father of Pilgrim John). We know Henry was living there as early as 1604, when his son, Simon, was baptized (from the Bishop's Transcript records). Unfortunately both the Parish records, and the Bishop's Transcripts are mostly missing from this time period, so we cannot state when Henry moved to Fen Stanton, nor know whether any of the other children were born there or elsewhere.



A Big Y-700 test result of an individual who does not bear the Howland surname documented where he shares all of the Fen Stanton Howland SNPs with a single exception A9708. Researching the patrilineal ancestry of this individual revealed where he is a Howland descendant from Kent, England. A researcher looked through the early English probate records for Howlands in Kent found the wills of the following: Henry Howling of Brook (1479/80), John Howlene of Brook (1554/55), Simon Howlyn of Brabourne (1522/3) and Simon Howlend of Wye (1524). Any of these may be of the patrilineal line of the Fen Stanton Howlands.

===Biography===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-21 '''John Howland''']<ref>[https://pilgrimhall.org/john_howland.htm Pilgrim Hall Museum] John Howland biography.</ref> was the son of [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-326 Henry Howland] and his wife [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-42345 Margaret] of Fen Stanton, Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England. His death record<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=wm4xUcRsk-sC&q=John+Howland#v=snippet&q=John%20Howland&f=false Plymouth Church records I:147(173)]</ref> stated he died 23 Feb 1672[/3] in his "eightieth yeare". The [http://www.Pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org Pilgrim John Howland Society] as well as the [https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ General Society of Mayflower Descendants] accepts an estimated birth date of 1592 for John based on this death record.

Per [http://mayflowerhistory.com/howland/ Caleb Johnson:]
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">It has been traditionally reported that John Howland was born about 1592, based on his reported age at death in the Plymouth Church Records. However, ages at death were often overstated, and that is clearly the case here. John Howland came as a servant for John Carver, which means he was under 25 years old at the time (i.e. he was born after 1595). William Bradford, in the falling-overboard incident, refers to Howland as a "lusty young man," a term that would not likely have applied to a 28-year old given that Bradford himself was only 30. Bradford did call 21-year old John Alden a "young man" though. Howland's wife Elizabeth was born in 1607: a 32-year old marrying a 17-year old is a relatively unlikely circumstance. Howland's last child was born in 1649: a 57-year old Howland would be an unlikely father. All these taken together demonstrate that Howland's age was likely overstated by at least 5 years. Since he signed the "Mayflower Compact", we can assume he was probably at least 18 to 21 years old in 1620.</blockquote>

John came aboard the Mayflower as a servant to Gov. John Carver. Howland's incident during the voyage was duly cataloged by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Plymouth_Plantation William Bradford]:
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.</blockquote>

Some speculate Howland came above board in order to get a breath of fresh air. However, others speculate he may have been used by Gov. Carver as an intermediary between the passengers and the crew. It is rumored their landing at Cape Cod (which clearly fell outside of the land the company was originally chartered) may have been a deliberate attempt to re-negotiate this charter for terms more favorable. If true, it is possible John Howland may have served a vital role in this decision.

John Howland survived the great sickness during the winter of 1620-21 and apparently took over as the head of Gov. Carver's household after the Governor's death in Apr 1621. At this time, "households" were not only family members, but was a means of housing the passengers in the new colony.

It is believed John married [[Joan Hurst & Elizabeth Tilley (mtDNA)|Elizabeth Tilley]] sometime after Aug 1623. This was presumably the fifth marriage in the colony (after Edward Winslow, Francis Eaton, John Alden & William Bradford [married 14 Aug 1623]). It is also believed they were married sometime prior to the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/landdiv.html 1623 division of land], which actually occurred during what we now consider the first three months of 1624 (Jan - Mar.) This date of marriage is also consistent with the births of their two oldest children (Desire ca 1625 & John who told Judge Sewell he was born 24 2[mo, Apr] 1627.) These two were also included in the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/cattlediv.html 1627 division of cattle].

Nathaniel Morton's eulogy: <blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">The 23th of February 1672 Mr. John Howland senir of the Town of Plymouth Deceased; hee was a Godly man and an ancient professor in the wayes of Christ; hee lived untill he attained above eighty yeares in the world, hee was one of the first Comers into this land and proved a usefull Instrument of Good in his place & was the last man that was left of those that Came over in the shipp Called the May Flower, that lived in Plymouth; hee was with honor Intered att the Towne of Plymouth on the 25 of February 1672.</blockquote>

==DNA Results '''A9708'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Several patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have had their Y-DNA tested at Family Tree DNA. In addition, four patrilineal descendants of John's brother, Arthur, and several patrilineal descendants of his brother, Henry, have also been tested. See the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Howland?iframe=ydna-results-overview Howland Surname Y-DNA Project]

Utilizing STR results to determine whether a male Howland descends from Pilgrim John Howland, or one of his brothers is quite risky. STRs are prone to mutate much quicker than SNP results, and they are also prone to back mutations (which hides the mutation) and parallel mutations (where the same mutation happens in two separate lines). Given these risks, and predictions based on STR mutations really need to be confirmed with either traditional "paper-trail" research, or SNP testing to prove the relationship.

Within the 111 STR results, the four descendants of Arthur Howland all have DYS464a=16 (while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have DYS464a=15). In addition, three of the four Arthur descendants have DYS576=18 (while the descendants of John & Henry as well as the fourth Arthur Howland descendant has DYS576=17). Both of these mutations show up within the first 37 STR markers (and everyone in the project has tested at least 37 STRs). Given the fact there are two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both DYS464a=16 and DYS576=18 are descendants of Arthur while males who have only one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Arthur.

Fewer individuals have extended their STR marker testing to 111 markers. We currently have three descendants of Arthur, four descendants of Pilgrim John and four descendants of Henry who have tested 111 STRs. The four descendants of Henry all have DYS485=14 (with all others being DYS485=15) All four also have DYS505=11 (with all others being DYS505=12). Once again, because we have two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both mutations are descendants of Henry while males who only have one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Henry.

There are no STR mutations (within the 111 STRs) found to be in common with Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, but in general, results which do not have any of the above STR mutations may well be descendants of Pilgrim John.

===NGS/WGS DNA testing===
Currently, there are eight Y-DNA Howland descendants who have taken the Big Y-700 test. Two are Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, three are descendants of Henry and three are descendants of Arthur. They all fall under [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u106/about Haplogroup R1b-U106] where they have been classified as: Z9>Z30>Z2>Z7>Z8>Z1>Z344>Z6>A96>S10415>A9703>A9708 This last clade is comprised of a single SNP (which is available for testing at YSEQ.org).

The three Henry Howland descendants (from two different sons, Zoeth and Samuel) have tested positive for FGC58211 and FGC58203 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Arthur have tested negative for these SNPs. The three Arthur Howland descendants have all tested positive for FT62784 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have tested negative for this SNP.

The two descendants of Pilgrim John Howland do not share any SNPs in common with each other, but the do have a STR mutation (within the additional 600+ STRs tested by the Big Y-700) which is not shared by descendants of Arthur or Henry. FTY1094=17 is found in descendants of Pilgrim John while the descendants of Arthur and Henry both have FTY1094=16. Ideally, we would like to have more Pilgrim John Howland descendants take the Big Y-700 test to confirm whether or not this mutation is found in all Pilgrim John Howland descendants (or to pinpoint when this STR mutation occurred).

===Availability of Y-DNA SNP testing===
Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) currently does not offer individual Y-SNP testing and the only test they have to discover your Y-SNPs is the Big Y-700 test (regular price US $449, but they do have sales on this test from time to time). However, YSEQ does have [https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=23383&osCsid=ff8e8a0b0438d0092cce73f75797197d A9708] for purchase (US $3.00 for the DNA sample kit and US $19.00 for the Y-SNP test).

===Usefulness of ''Big Y'' and ''Y-Elite tests''===
DNA mutations are random events, like the roll of a dice. As they are random, we can't say exactly how long it has been since a mutation occurred. However, just like rolling a seven on a pair of dice, we know how often a mutation should occur on average. For the part of the Y chromosome covered by a typical Big Y-700 test, this is about once per two to three generations, but it could vary from having more than one mutation in a generation to going several generations without a mutation.

Consequently, most of the time, we don't expect to separate a father and a son with a mutation we find. Indeed (while it isn't generally recommended), there have been a number of cases where both a father and his son have taken a Big Y test. In most cases, neither test shows a mutation the other doesn't. However, there are exceptions to this. These are caused not only by new mutations in the son's test, but also slight differences between the two Big Y tests.

Big Y, like all such tests, reads chunk-sized pieces of DNA. Depending on how these chunks are split up, slightly different parts of the Y chromosome will be tested. So two Big Y tests might only overlap on 98% of the mutations they test. The other 2% of mutations will only be called in one test or the other. Alternatively, they may be accurately read in one test, but read below the threshold for quality control in the other test. Consequently, there may be more "private" mutations that separate two people than we expect.

The real importance in doing the Big Y or Y-Elite test is the ability to compare your results with others. This works at all different levels.

We currently have a number of Big Y (and similar test) results across the Howland family. This has allowed us to determine where the A9708 clade belongs the Howland family, descendants of Henry Howland (c1565-1635) of Fen Stanton, England. As more Howlands take this type of test we will be able to determine subclades defining his descendants, eventually separating the families of his three sons (John, Henry & Arthur) and later defining more recent branches.

It also works in the opposite level, in discovering related surnames. Originally, the Wing family was the closest non-surname match to the Howlands. However, recently another Big Y tester came in and was found to be positive for a SNP not found in the Wing family but found within the Howland family (A9701). This other tester descends from a Rogers family (NOT related to Thomas and Joseph Rogers of the Mayflower). Going further back in time, Big Y results shows where the Howland/Rogers family shares a clade (S10415) with the following families: Wing, Maybury, Baldwin, Rogers, Bishop, and Foat. More families are found at each clade level above S10415 which shows the degree of relationship similar to first, second, third etc. cousins.

Recently an individual (who does not bear the Howland surname, but almost certainly has an NPE and Howland ancestry in England) has Big Y-700 tested and been found to be positive for all of the Howland SNPs except R-A9708. Thus this individual descends from a fairly close ancestral Howland of the older Henry Howland of Fen Stanton. This person's ancestry is from Kent County and (as noted above) there are several probate records of various Howlands, etc. in Kent in the 15th & 16th Centuries, so it is likely this is also where the patrilineal ancestry of Henry Howland is from.

Another related item is the ability to estimate the age of each of these clades. We know the age of the Howland family in America starts with the birth of their father, Henry Howland ca 1565. The Howlands all share at least eleven SNPs not found in the next closest family (Rogers). While the mutations are random events, so we cannot state precisely how much time elapses between one mutation and another, we can say a mutation happens '''on average''' a little over every 80 years. Thus, the Rogers family is roughly 80*11=880 or so years before ca 1565 (or roughly 650 AD). The other surnames at the S10415 level are one SNP above the Howland/Rogers clade (A9701), so dates roughly to 575 AD or so.

===The Howland teeth===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society (PJHS) owns several acres of land at Rocky Nook, Kingston. This land included the home (in late life) of Pilgrim John Howland (which was inherited by his son Jabez) and across the Road (Howland Lane) the homestead of Joseph Howland (son of Pilgrim John) which was inherited by Joseph's eldest son, James. For many years, the PJHS has been exploring the sites with archaeological digs. During one such dig at the Joseph Howland site, two wisdom teeth (third molars) were discovered, which were apparently extracted from someone living at the house. This home site appears to have been abandoned sometime after the death of James Howland, so it is likely the teeth were either from one of Joseph Howland's children or one of James Howland's children. The PJHS is currently exploring the possibility of having DNA testing performed on the teeth.

==Summary of findings==
We currently have two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland who have publicized their NGS/WGS test results. One descendant is from John (II) and the other descendant is from Jabez (both sons of Pilgrim John). These two descendants do not share any SNPs which are not shared by the patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John's brothers, so there is currently no SNP which definitively documents all of Pilgrim John's line (as separate from his brothers lines). The John (II) descendant has documented two SNPs not found in the Jabez line (A9705 and Z18598) while the descendant of Jabez has documented two currently unnamed SNPs not found in the John line (13599901 and 12315744). Thus anyone who falls into the Howland A9703 clade who also tests positive for one of these four SNPs must descend from Pilgrim John. But not all Pilgrim John patrilineal descendants would test positive for any of these four SNPs. In addition, any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for A9705 or Z18598 must descend from John, son of Pilgrim John; while any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for 13599901 and/or 12315744 must descend from Jabez, son of Pilgrim John.

A9705 has been made available for individual SNP testing, but for technical reasons Z18598 is not able to be made available.

We now need to identify where along the line of descent the A9705 and the unnamed SNPs occurred.

==Allied Families==
The following families are connected to John Howland via marriage to descendants:

[[Gorham (Y-DNA)|Gorham]] (Capt. John Gorham married Desire Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on STR markers for two descendants

[[Chipman (Y-DNA)|Chipman]] (Elder John Chipman married Hope Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M223 based on 37 STR markers for a descendant

[[Dickinson (Y-DNA)|Dickinson]] (John Dickinson was the second husband to Elizabeth Howland).

[[Hawes (Y-DNA)|Hawes]] (John Hawes married Desire Gorham). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on the 37 STR markers for two descendants

[[Baxter (Y-DNA)|Baxter]] (Thomas Baxter married Temperance Gorham)

MayflowerDNA1620: /* Usefulness of Big Y and Y-Elite tests */

==Status summary==
===Completed as of May 18, 2019: ===
* ''Big Y-500'' (original Big Y) test completed for a descendant of "Pilgrim" John Howland
* ''Y Elite'' test for Henry Howland Jr. descendant completed (kit '''E8PEF''', tested previously at FTDNA as kit #37929).
* ''Big Y-700'' test completed for a male Howland who cannot trace his Y-DNA line (via the traditional "paper" trail) to one of the Howland brothers. This test confirms he descends from one of the brothers (and hints where he may descend from Arthur Howland, brother to "Pilgrim" John and Henry {II}).
* Comparing the above tests, a SNP (A9705) has been found in a descendant of "Pilgrim" John Howland, which not found in the other Howland results. This SNP available for testing at [https://www.yseq.net YSEQ DNA Origins Project] for $18.00 (plus an additional fee for the DNA swab) and may be available or for $15 (plus fee for the DNA swab) at [https://www.fullgenomes.com Full Genomes Corp].
* Recruiting additional Howlands for further SNP testing. Any male who believes they are a patrilineal (all male line) descendant of John Howland should [[Read me First|Read me First]]

===Completed as of October 7, 2024===
* Two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have Big Y tested. They both have fall under the R1b-A9708 clade (which descendants of his brothers also belong to).
* Three patrilineal descendants of Arthur Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FT62874
* Three patrilineal descendants of Henry Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FGC58211
* One individual who does not descend from Henry Howland (father of the above three brothers) has Big Y tested and been found to be positive for a clade immediately above the R1b-A9708 clade for the three brothers. This individual descends from a close family member (likely father, grandfather or great-grandfather) of Henry Howland of Fen Stanton.

===Still to do as of October 7, 2024===
* Identify where in the line of Pilgrim John Howland the A9705 SNP is found by testing select folks.
* Next Generation Sequence (NGS) test other lines of Pilgrim John Howland to find other SNPs unique to descendants of Pilgrim John.

==Background==
Names in '''bold font''' have Y-DNA descendants who have Y-DNA tested.

===Speculative Origins<ref>The parent clade of R-A9708 is R-A9703. A9703 is currently comprised of ten SNPs. One individual with a Baker surname has Big Y-700 tested A9703+ but A9708-. He lists his Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) as Frederick Baker, born 1850. Research has indicated where this Frederick Baker was baptized at Newnham, Kent, England on 10 Nov 1850. The record did not name a father, but gave his mother's name as Charlotte Baker. Census records indicate where she was unmarried when Frederick was born. Census records also indicate where a James Howland was living in Newnham, age 22 in the UK 1851 Census. He was listed as a servant and living in the household of Thomas Baker Elvy who was named after Thomas Baker, the latter was apparently was an uncle to Charlotte.</ref>===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society has hired a noted Mayflower passenger origins researcher (Caleb Johnson) to trace the origins of the Howland family. His first report was printed in ''The Howland Quarterly'' MAR 2016, pp. 10-20.

Johnson reported he found no evidence of the Howland family in Fen Stanton prior to the time of Henry Howland (father of Pilgrim John). We know Henry was living there as early as 1604, when his son, Simon, was baptized (from the Bishop's Transcript records). Unfortunately both the Parish records, and the Bishop's Transcripts are mostly missing from this time period, so we cannot state when Henry moved to Fen Stanton, nor know whether any of the other children were born there or elsewhere.



A Big Y-700 test result of an individual who does not bear the Howland surname documented where he shares all of the Fen Stanton Howland SNPs with a single exception A9708. Researching the patrilineal ancestry of this individual revealed where he is a Howland descendant from Kent, England. A researcher looked through the early English probate records for Howlands in Kent found the wills of the following: Henry Howling of Brook (1479/80), John Howlene of Brook (1554/55), Simon Howlyn of Brabourne (1522/3) and Simon Howlend of Wye (1524). Any of these may be of the patrilineal line of the Fen Stanton Howlands.

===Biography===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-21 '''John Howland''']<ref>[https://pilgrimhall.org/john_howland.htm Pilgrim Hall Museum] John Howland biography.</ref> was the son of [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-326 Henry Howland] and his wife [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-42345 Margaret] of Fen Stanton, Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England. His death record<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=wm4xUcRsk-sC&q=John+Howland#v=snippet&q=John%20Howland&f=false Plymouth Church records I:147(173)]</ref> stated he died 23 Feb 1672[/3] in his "eightieth yeare". The [http://www.Pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org Pilgrim John Howland Society] as well as the [https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ General Society of Mayflower Descendants] accepts an estimated birth date of 1592 for John based on this death record.

Per [http://mayflowerhistory.com/howland/ Caleb Johnson:]
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">It has been traditionally reported that John Howland was born about 1592, based on his reported age at death in the Plymouth Church Records. However, ages at death were often overstated, and that is clearly the case here. John Howland came as a servant for John Carver, which means he was under 25 years old at the time (i.e. he was born after 1595). William Bradford, in the falling-overboard incident, refers to Howland as a "lusty young man," a term that would not likely have applied to a 28-year old given that Bradford himself was only 30. Bradford did call 21-year old John Alden a "young man" though. Howland's wife Elizabeth was born in 1607: a 32-year old marrying a 17-year old is a relatively unlikely circumstance. Howland's last child was born in 1649: a 57-year old Howland would be an unlikely father. All these taken together demonstrate that Howland's age was likely overstated by at least 5 years. Since he signed the "Mayflower Compact", we can assume he was probably at least 18 to 21 years old in 1620.</blockquote>

John came aboard the Mayflower as a servant to Gov. John Carver. Howland's incident during the voyage was duly cataloged by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Plymouth_Plantation William Bradford]:
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.</blockquote>

Some speculate Howland came above board in order to get a breath of fresh air. However, others speculate he may have been used by Gov. Carver as an intermediary between the passengers and the crew. It is rumored their landing at Cape Cod (which clearly fell outside of the land the company was originally chartered) may have been a deliberate attempt to re-negotiate this charter for terms more favorable. If true, it is possible John Howland may have served a vital role in this decision.

John Howland survived the great sickness during the winter of 1620-21 and apparently took over as the head of Gov. Carver's household after the Governor's death in Apr 1621. At this time, "households" were not only family members, but was a means of housing the passengers in the new colony.

It is believed John married [[Joan Hurst & Elizabeth Tilley (mtDNA)|Elizabeth Tilley]] sometime after Aug 1623. This was presumably the fifth marriage in the colony (after Edward Winslow, Francis Eaton, John Alden & William Bradford [married 14 Aug 1623]). It is also believed they were married sometime prior to the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/landdiv.html 1623 division of land], which actually occurred during what we now consider the first three months of 1624 (Jan - Mar.) This date of marriage is also consistent with the births of their two oldest children (Desire ca 1625 & John who told Judge Sewell he was born 24 2[mo, Apr] 1627.) These two were also included in the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/cattlediv.html 1627 division of cattle].

Nathaniel Morton's eulogy: <blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">The 23th of February 1672 Mr. John Howland senir of the Town of Plymouth Deceased; hee was a Godly man and an ancient professor in the wayes of Christ; hee lived untill he attained above eighty yeares in the world, hee was one of the first Comers into this land and proved a usefull Instrument of Good in his place & was the last man that was left of those that Came over in the shipp Called the May Flower, that lived in Plymouth; hee was with honor Intered att the Towne of Plymouth on the 25 of February 1672.</blockquote>

==DNA Results '''A9708'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Several patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have had their Y-DNA tested at Family Tree DNA. In addition, four patrilineal descendants of John's brother, Arthur, and several patrilineal descendants of his brother, Henry, have also been tested. See the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Howland?iframe=ydna-results-overview Howland Surname Y-DNA Project]

Utilizing STR results to determine whether a male Howland descends from Pilgrim John Howland, or one of his brothers is quite risky. STRs are prone to mutate much quicker than SNP results, and they are also prone to back mutations (which hides the mutation) and parallel mutations (where the same mutation happens in two separate lines). Given these risks, and predictions based on STR mutations really need to be confirmed with either traditional "paper-trail" research, or SNP testing to prove the relationship.

Within the 111 STR results, the four descendants of Arthur Howland all have DYS464a=16 (while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have DYS464a=15). In addition, three of the four Arthur descendants have DYS576=18 (while the descendants of John & Henry as well as the fourth Arthur Howland descendant has DYS576=17). Both of these mutations show up within the first 37 STR markers (and everyone in the project has tested at least 37 STRs). Given the fact there are two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both DYS464a=16 and DYS576=18 are descendants of Arthur while males who have only one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Arthur.

Fewer individuals have extended their STR marker testing to 111 markers. We currently have three descendants of Arthur, four descendants of Pilgrim John and four descendants of Henry who have tested 111 STRs. The four descendants of Henry all have DYS485=14 (with all others being DYS485=15) All four also have DYS505=11 (with all others being DYS505=12). Once again, because we have two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both mutations are descendants of Henry while males who only have one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Henry.

There are no STR mutations (within the 111 STRs) found to be in common with Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, but in general, results which do not have any of the above STR mutations may well be descendants of Pilgrim John.

===NGS/WGS DNA testing===
Currently, there are eight Y-DNA Howland descendants who have taken the Big Y-700 test. Two are Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, three are descendants of Henry and three are descendants of Arthur. They all fall under [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u106/about Haplogroup R1b-U106] where they have been classified as: Z9>Z30>Z2>Z7>Z8>Z1>Z344>Z6>A96>S10415>A9703>A9708 This last clade is comprised of a single SNP (which is available for testing at YSEQ.org).

The three Henry Howland descendants (from two different sons, Zoeth and Samuel) have tested positive for FGC58211 and FGC58203 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Arthur have tested negative for these SNPs. The three Arthur Howland descendants have all tested positive for FT62784 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have tested negative for this SNP.

The two descendants of Pilgrim John Howland do not share any SNPs in common with each other, but the do have a STR mutation (within the additional 600+ STRs tested by the Big Y-700) which is not shared by descendants of Arthur or Henry. FTY1094=17 is found in descendants of Pilgrim John while the descendants of Arthur and Henry both have FTY1094=16. Ideally, we would like to have more Pilgrim John Howland descendants take the Big Y-700 test to confirm whether or not this mutation is found in all Pilgrim John Howland descendants (or to pinpoint when this STR mutation occurred).

===Availability of Y-DNA SNP testing===
Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) currently does not offer individual Y-SNP testing and the only test they have to discover your Y-SNPs is the Big Y-700 test (regular price US $449, but they do have sales on this test from time to time). However, YSEQ does have [https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=23383&osCsid=ff8e8a0b0438d0092cce73f75797197d A9708] for purchase (US $3.00 for the DNA sample kit and US $19.00 for the Y-SNP test).

===Usefulness of ''Big Y'' and ''Y-Elite tests''===
DNA mutations are random events, like the roll of a dice. As they are random, we can't say exactly how long it has been since a mutation occurred. However, just like rolling a seven on a pair of dice, we know how often a mutation should occur on average. For the part of the Y chromosome covered by a typical Big Y-700 test, this is about once per two to three generations, but it could vary from having more than one mutation in a generation to going several generations without a mutation.

Consequently, most of the time, we don't expect to separate a father and a son with a mutation we find. Indeed (while it isn't generally recommended), there have been a number of cases where both a father and his son have taken a Big Y test. In most cases, neither test shows a mutation the other doesn't. However, there are exceptions to this. These are caused not only by new mutations in the son's test, but also slight differences between the two Big Y tests.

Big Y, like all such tests, reads chunk-sized pieces of DNA. Depending on how these chunks are split up, slightly different parts of the Y chromosome will be tested. So two Big Y tests might only overlap on 98% of the mutations they test. The other 2% of mutations will only be called in one test or the other. Alternatively, they may be accurately read in one test, but read below the threshold for quality control in the other test. Consequently, there may be more "private" mutations that separate two people than we expect.

The real importance in doing the Big Y or Y-Elite test is the ability to compare your results with others. This works at all different levels.

We currently have a number of Big Y (and similar test) results across the Howland family. This has allowed us to determine where the A9708 clade belongs the Howland family, descendants of Henry Howland (c1565-1635) of Fen Stanton, England. As more Howlands take this type of test we will be able to determine subclades defining his descendants, eventually separating the families of his three sons (John, Henry & Arthur) and later defining more recent branches.

It also works in the opposite level, in discovering related surnames. Originally, the Wing family was the closest non-surname match to the Howlands. However, recently another Big Y tester came in and was found to be positive for a SNP not found in the Wing family but found within the Howland family (A9701). This other tester descends from a Rogers family (NOT related to Thomas and Joseph Rogers of the Mayflower). Going further back in time, Big Y results shows where the Howland/Rogers family shares a clade (S10415) with the following families: Wing, Maybury, Baldwin, Rogers, Bishop, and Foat. More families are found at each clade level above S10415 which shows the degree of relationship similar to first, second, third etc. cousins.

Recently an individual (who does not bear the Howland surname, but almost certainly has an NPE and Howland ancestry in England) has Big Y-700 tested and been found to be positive for all of the Howland SNPs except R-A9708. Thus this individual descends from a fairly close ancestral Howland of the older Henry Howland of Fen Stanton. This person's ancestry is from Kent County and (as noted above) there are several probate records of various Howlands, etc. in Kent in the 15th & 16th Centuries, so it is likely this is also where the patrilineal ancestry of Henry Howland is from.

Another related item is the ability to estimate the age of each of these clades. We know the age of the Howland family in America starts with the birth of their father, Henry Howland ca 1565. The Howlands all share at least eleven SNPs not found in the next closest family (Rogers). While the mutations are random events, so we cannot state precisely how much time elapses between one mutation and another, we can say a mutation happens '''on average''' a little over every 80 years. Thus, the Rogers family is roughly 80*11=880 or so years before ca 1565 (or roughly 650 AD). The other surnames at the S10415 level are one SNP above the Howland/Rogers clade (A9701), so dates roughly to 575 AD or so.

===The Howland teeth===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society (PJHS) owns several acres of land at Rocky Nook, Kingston. This land included the home (in late life) of Pilgrim John Howland (which was inherited by his son Jabez) and across the Road (Howland Lane) the homestead of Joseph Howland (son of Pilgrim John) which was inherited by Joseph's eldest son, James. For many years, the PJHS has been exploring the sites with archaeological digs. During one such dig at the Joseph Howland site, two wisdom teeth (third molars) were discovered, which were apparently extracted from someone living at the house. This home site appears to have been abandoned sometime after the death of James Howland, so it is likely the teeth were either from one of Joseph Howland's children or one of James Howland's children. The PJHS is currently exploring the possibility of having DNA testing performed on the teeth.

==Summary of findings==
We currently have two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland who have publicized their NGS/WGS test results. One descendant is from John (II) and the other descendant is from Jabez (both sons of Pilgrim John). These two descendants do not share any SNPs which are not shared by the patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John's brothers, so there is currently no SNP which definitively documents all of Pilgrim John's line (as separate from his brothers lines). The John (II) descendant has documented two SNPs not found in the Jabez line (A9705 and Z18598) while the descendant of Jabez has documented two currently unnamed SNPs not found in the John line (13599901 and 12315744). Thus anyone who falls into the Howland A9703 clade who also tests positive for one of these four SNPs must descend from Pilgrim John. But not all Pilgrim John patrilineal descendants would test positive for any of these four SNPs. In addition, any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for A9705 or Z18598 must descend from John, son of Pilgrim John; while any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for 13599901 and/or 12315744 must descend from Jabez, son of Pilgrim John.

A9705 has been made available for individual SNP testing, but for technical reasons Z18598 is not able to be made available.

We now need to identify where along the line of descent the A9705 and the unnamed SNPs occurred.

==Allied Families==
The following families are connected to John Howland via marriage to descendants:

[[Gorham (Y-DNA)|Gorham]] (Capt. John Gorham married Desire Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on STR markers for two descendants

[[Chipman (Y-DNA)|Chipman]] (Elder John Chipman married Hope Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M223 based on 37 STR markers for a descendant

[[Dickinson (Y-DNA)|Dickinson]] (John Dickinson was the second husband to Elizabeth Howland).

[[Hawes (Y-DNA)|Hawes]] (John Hawes married Desire Gorham). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on the 37 STR markers for two descendants

Baxter (Thomas Baxter married Temperance Gorham)

MayflowerDNA1620: /* Previous Y-DNA testing */

==Status summary==
===Completed as of May 18, 2019: ===
* ''Big Y-500'' (original Big Y) test completed for a descendant of "Pilgrim" John Howland
* ''Y Elite'' test for Henry Howland Jr. descendant completed (kit '''E8PEF''', tested previously at FTDNA as kit #37929).
* ''Big Y-700'' test completed for a male Howland who cannot trace his Y-DNA line (via the traditional "paper" trail) to one of the Howland brothers. This test confirms he descends from one of the brothers (and hints where he may descend from Arthur Howland, brother to "Pilgrim" John and Henry {II}).
* Comparing the above tests, a SNP (A9705) has been found in a descendant of "Pilgrim" John Howland, which not found in the other Howland results. This SNP available for testing at [https://www.yseq.net YSEQ DNA Origins Project] for $18.00 (plus an additional fee for the DNA swab) and may be available or for $15 (plus fee for the DNA swab) at [https://www.fullgenomes.com Full Genomes Corp].
* Recruiting additional Howlands for further SNP testing. Any male who believes they are a patrilineal (all male line) descendant of John Howland should [[Read me First|Read me First]]

===Completed as of October 7, 2024===
* Two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have Big Y tested. They both have fall under the R1b-A9708 clade (which descendants of his brothers also belong to).
* Three patrilineal descendants of Arthur Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FT62874
* Three patrilineal descendants of Henry Howland (brother of John) have Big Y tested. They all fall under R1b-A9708>FGC58211
* One individual who does not descend from Henry Howland (father of the above three brothers) has Big Y tested and been found to be positive for a clade immediately above the R1b-A9708 clade for the three brothers. This individual descends from a close family member (likely father, grandfather or great-grandfather) of Henry Howland of Fen Stanton.

===Still to do as of October 7, 2024===
* Identify where in the line of Pilgrim John Howland the A9705 SNP is found by testing select folks.
* Next Generation Sequence (NGS) test other lines of Pilgrim John Howland to find other SNPs unique to descendants of Pilgrim John.

==Background==
Names in '''bold font''' have Y-DNA descendants who have Y-DNA tested.

===Speculative Origins<ref>The parent clade of R-A9708 is R-A9703. A9703 is currently comprised of ten SNPs. One individual with a Baker surname has Big Y-700 tested A9703+ but A9708-. He lists his Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) as Frederick Baker, born 1850. Research has indicated where this Frederick Baker was baptized at Newnham, Kent, England on 10 Nov 1850. The record did not name a father, but gave his mother's name as Charlotte Baker. Census records indicate where she was unmarried when Frederick was born. Census records also indicate where a James Howland was living in Newnham, age 22 in the UK 1851 Census. He was listed as a servant and living in the household of Thomas Baker Elvy who was named after Thomas Baker, the latter was apparently was an uncle to Charlotte.</ref>===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society has hired a noted Mayflower passenger origins researcher (Caleb Johnson) to trace the origins of the Howland family. His first report was printed in ''The Howland Quarterly'' MAR 2016, pp. 10-20.

Johnson reported he found no evidence of the Howland family in Fen Stanton prior to the time of Henry Howland (father of Pilgrim John). We know Henry was living there as early as 1604, when his son, Simon, was baptized (from the Bishop's Transcript records). Unfortunately both the Parish records, and the Bishop's Transcripts are mostly missing from this time period, so we cannot state when Henry moved to Fen Stanton, nor know whether any of the other children were born there or elsewhere.



A Big Y-700 test result of an individual who does not bear the Howland surname documented where he shares all of the Fen Stanton Howland SNPs with a single exception A9708. Researching the patrilineal ancestry of this individual revealed where he is a Howland descendant from Kent, England. A researcher looked through the early English probate records for Howlands in Kent found the wills of the following: Henry Howling of Brook (1479/80), John Howlene of Brook (1554/55), Simon Howlyn of Brabourne (1522/3) and Simon Howlend of Wye (1524). Any of these may be of the patrilineal line of the Fen Stanton Howlands.

===Biography===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-21 '''John Howland''']<ref>[https://pilgrimhall.org/john_howland.htm Pilgrim Hall Museum] John Howland biography.</ref> was the son of [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-326 Henry Howland] and his wife [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-42345 Margaret] of Fen Stanton, Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England. His death record<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=wm4xUcRsk-sC&q=John+Howland#v=snippet&q=John%20Howland&f=false Plymouth Church records I:147(173)]</ref> stated he died 23 Feb 1672[/3] in his "eightieth yeare". The [http://www.Pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org Pilgrim John Howland Society] as well as the [https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ General Society of Mayflower Descendants] accepts an estimated birth date of 1592 for John based on this death record.

Per [http://mayflowerhistory.com/howland/ Caleb Johnson:]
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">It has been traditionally reported that John Howland was born about 1592, based on his reported age at death in the Plymouth Church Records. However, ages at death were often overstated, and that is clearly the case here. John Howland came as a servant for John Carver, which means he was under 25 years old at the time (i.e. he was born after 1595). William Bradford, in the falling-overboard incident, refers to Howland as a "lusty young man," a term that would not likely have applied to a 28-year old given that Bradford himself was only 30. Bradford did call 21-year old John Alden a "young man" though. Howland's wife Elizabeth was born in 1607: a 32-year old marrying a 17-year old is a relatively unlikely circumstance. Howland's last child was born in 1649: a 57-year old Howland would be an unlikely father. All these taken together demonstrate that Howland's age was likely overstated by at least 5 years. Since he signed the "Mayflower Compact", we can assume he was probably at least 18 to 21 years old in 1620.</blockquote>

John came aboard the Mayflower as a servant to Gov. John Carver. Howland's incident during the voyage was duly cataloged by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Plymouth_Plantation William Bradford]:
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.</blockquote>

Some speculate Howland came above board in order to get a breath of fresh air. However, others speculate he may have been used by Gov. Carver as an intermediary between the passengers and the crew. It is rumored their landing at Cape Cod (which clearly fell outside of the land the company was originally chartered) may have been a deliberate attempt to re-negotiate this charter for terms more favorable. If true, it is possible John Howland may have served a vital role in this decision.

John Howland survived the great sickness during the winter of 1620-21 and apparently took over as the head of Gov. Carver's household after the Governor's death in Apr 1621. At this time, "households" were not only family members, but was a means of housing the passengers in the new colony.

It is believed John married [[Joan Hurst & Elizabeth Tilley (mtDNA)|Elizabeth Tilley]] sometime after Aug 1623. This was presumably the fifth marriage in the colony (after Edward Winslow, Francis Eaton, John Alden & William Bradford [married 14 Aug 1623]). It is also believed they were married sometime prior to the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/landdiv.html 1623 division of land], which actually occurred during what we now consider the first three months of 1624 (Jan - Mar.) This date of marriage is also consistent with the births of their two oldest children (Desire ca 1625 & John who told Judge Sewell he was born 24 2[mo, Apr] 1627.) These two were also included in the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/cattlediv.html 1627 division of cattle].

Nathaniel Morton's eulogy: <blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">The 23th of February 1672 Mr. John Howland senir of the Town of Plymouth Deceased; hee was a Godly man and an ancient professor in the wayes of Christ; hee lived untill he attained above eighty yeares in the world, hee was one of the first Comers into this land and proved a usefull Instrument of Good in his place & was the last man that was left of those that Came over in the shipp Called the May Flower, that lived in Plymouth; hee was with honor Intered att the Towne of Plymouth on the 25 of February 1672.</blockquote>

It is said John was the first individual [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6613808/john_howland buried at Burial Hill]<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=1grmpqYO44sC&pg=PA11&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false Handbook of Old Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts: Its History, Its Famous Dead, and Its Quaint Epitaphs by A.S. Burbank, 1896, p. 13]</ref>, and likely in the area where a memorial stone for John was erected in 1897. This stone replaced a stone erected in either 1836 or 1844 (which incorrectly stated John's wife was a daughter of Gov. John Carver, so was replaced.

==DNA Results '''A9708'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Several patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have had their Y-DNA tested at Family Tree DNA. In addition, four patrilineal descendants of John's brother, Arthur, and several patrilineal descendants of his brother, Henry, have also been tested. See the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Howland?iframe=ydna-results-overview Howland Surname Y-DNA Project]

Utilizing STR results to determine whether a male Howland descends from Pilgrim John Howland, or one of his brothers is quite risky. STRs are prone to mutate much quicker than SNP results, and they are also prone to back mutations (which hides the mutation) and parallel mutations (where the same mutation happens in two separate lines). Given these risks, and predictions based on STR mutations really need to be confirmed with either traditional "paper-trail" research, or SNP testing to prove the relationship.

Within the 111 STR results, the four descendants of Arthur Howland all have DYS464a=16 (while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have DYS464a=15). In addition, three of the four Arthur descendants have DYS576=18 (while the descendants of John & Henry as well as the fourth Arthur Howland descendant has DYS576=17). Both of these mutations show up within the first 37 STR markers (and everyone in the project has tested at least 37 STRs). Given the fact there are two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both DYS464a=16 and DYS576=18 are descendants of Arthur while males who have only one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Arthur.

Fewer individuals have extended their STR marker testing to 111 markers. We currently have three descendants of Arthur, four descendants of Pilgrim John and four descendants of Henry who have tested 111 STRs. The four descendants of Henry all have DYS485=14 (with all others being DYS485=15) All four also have DYS505=11 (with all others being DYS505=12). Once again, because we have two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both mutations are descendants of Henry while males who only have one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Henry.

There are no STR mutations (within the 111 STRs) found to be in common with Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, but in general, results which do not have any of the above STR mutations may well be descendants of Pilgrim John.

===NGS/WGS DNA testing===
Currently, there are eight Y-DNA Howland descendants who have taken the Big Y-700 test. Two are Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, three are descendants of Henry and three are descendants of Arthur. They all fall under [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u106/about Haplogroup R1b-U106] where they have been classified as: Z9>Z30>Z2>Z7>Z8>Z1>Z344>Z6>A96>S10415>A9703>A9708 This last clade is comprised of a single SNP (which is available for testing at YSEQ.org).

The three Henry Howland descendants (from two different sons, Zoeth and Samuel) have tested positive for FGC58211 and FGC58203 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Arthur have tested negative for these SNPs. The three Arthur Howland descendants have all tested positive for FT62784 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have tested negative for this SNP.

The two descendants of Pilgrim John Howland do not share any SNPs in common with each other, but the do have a STR mutation (within the additional 600+ STRs tested by the Big Y-700) which is not shared by descendants of Arthur or Henry. FTY1094=17 is found in descendants of Pilgrim John while the descendants of Arthur and Henry both have FTY1094=16. Ideally, we would like to have more Pilgrim John Howland descendants take the Big Y-700 test to confirm whether or not this mutation is found in all Pilgrim John Howland descendants (or to pinpoint when this STR mutation occurred).

===Availability of Y-DNA SNP testing===
Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) currently does not offer individual Y-SNP testing and the only test they have to discover your Y-SNPs is the Big Y-700 test (regular price US $449, but they do have sales on this test from time to time). However, YSEQ does have [https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=23383&osCsid=ff8e8a0b0438d0092cce73f75797197d A9708] for purchase (US $3.00 for the DNA sample kit and US $19.00 for the Y-SNP test).

===Usefulness of ''Big Y'' and ''Y-Elite tests''===
DNA mutations are random events, like the roll of a dice. As they are random, we can't say exactly how long it has been since a mutation occurred. However, just like rolling a seven on a pair of dice, we know how often a mutation should occur on average. For the part of the Y chromosome covered by a typical Big Y-700 test, this is about once per two to three generations, but it could vary from having more than one mutation in a generation to going several generations without a mutation.

Consequently, most of the time, we don't expect to separate a father and a son with a mutation we find. Indeed (while it isn't generally recommended), there have been a number of cases where both a father and his son have taken a Big Y test. In most cases, neither test shows a mutation the other doesn't. However, there are exceptions to this. These are caused not only by new mutations in the son's test, but also slight differences between the two Big Y tests.

Big Y, like all such tests, reads chunk-sized pieces of DNA. Depending on how these chunks are split up, slightly different parts of the Y chromosome will be tested. So two Big Y tests might only overlap on 98% of the mutations they test. The other 2% of mutations will only be called in one test or the other. Alternatively, they may be accurately read in one test, but read below the threshold for quality control in the other test. Consequently, there may be more "private" mutations that separate two people than we expect.

The real importance in doing the Big Y or Y-Elite test is the ability to compare your results with others. This works at all different levels.

We currently have a number of Big Y (and similar test) results across the Howland family. This has allowed us to determine where the A9708 clade belongs the Howland family, descendants of Henry Howland (c1565-1635) of Fen Stanton, England. As more Howlands take this type of test we will be able to determine subclades defining his descendants, eventually separating the families of his three sons (John, Henry & Arthur) and later defining more recent branches.

It also works in the opposite level, in discovering related surnames. Originally, the Wing family was the closest non-surname match to the Howlands. However, recently another Big Y tester came in and was found to be positive for a SNP not found in the Wing family but found within the Howland family (A9701). This other tester descends from a Rogers family (NOT related to Thomas and Joseph Rogers of the Mayflower). Going further back in time, Big Y results shows where the Howland/Rogers family shares a clade (S10415) with the following families: Wing, Maybury, Baldwin, Rogers, Bishop, and Foat. More families are found at each clade level above S10415 which shows the degree of relationship similar to first, second, third etc. cousins.

Recently an individual (who does not bear the Howland surname, but almost certainly has an NPE and Howland ancestry in England) has Big Y-700 tested and been found to be positive for all of the Howland SNPs exceptA-9708. Thus this individual descends from a fairly close ancestral Howland of the older Henry Howland of Fen Stanton. This person's ancestry is from Kent County so it is likely this is also where the patrilineal ancestry of Henry Howland is from.

Another related item is the ability to estimate the age of each of these clades. We know the age of the Howland family in America starts with the birth of their father, Henry Howland ca 1565. The Howlands all share at least eleven SNPs not found in the next closest family (Rogers). While the mutations are random events, so we cannot state precisely how much time elapses between one mutation and another, we can say a mutation happens '''on average''' a little over every 80 years. Thus, the Rogers family is roughly 80*11=880 or so years before ca 1565 (or roughly 650 AD). The other surnames at the S10415 level are one SNP above the Howland/Rogers clade (A9701), so dates roughly to 575 AD or so.

===The Howland teeth===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society (PJHS) owns several acres of land at Rocky Nook, Kingston. This land included the home (in late life) of Pilgrim John Howland (which was inherited by his son Jabez) and across the Road (Howland Lane) the homestead of Joseph Howland (son of Pilgrim John) which was inherited by Joseph's eldest son, James. For many years, the PJHS has been exploring the sites with archaeological digs. During one such dig at the Joseph Howland site, two wisdom teeth (third molars) were discovered, which were apparently extracted from someone living at the house. This home site appears to have been abandoned sometime after the death of James Howland, so it is likely the teeth were either from one of Joseph Howland's children or one of James Howland's children. The PJHS is currently exploring the possibility of having DNA testing performed on the teeth.

==Summary of findings==
We currently have two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland who have publicized their NGS/WGS test results. One descendant is from John (II) and the other descendant is from Jabez (both sons of Pilgrim John). These two descendants do not share any SNPs which are not shared by the patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John's brothers, so there is currently no SNP which definitively documents all of Pilgrim John's line (as separate from his brothers lines). The John (II) descendant has documented two SNPs not found in the Jabez line (A9705 and Z18598) while the descendant of Jabez has documented two currently unnamed SNPs not found in the John line (13599901 and 12315744). Thus anyone who falls into the Howland A9703 clade who also tests positive for one of these four SNPs must descend from Pilgrim John. But not all Pilgrim John patrilineal descendants would test positive for any of these four SNPs. In addition, any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for A9705 or Z18598 must descend from John, son of Pilgrim John; while any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for 13599901 and/or 12315744 must descend from Jabez, son of Pilgrim John.

A9705 has been made available for individual SNP testing, but for technical reasons Z18598 is not able to be made available.

We now need to identify where along the line of descent the A9705 and the unnamed SNPs occurred.

==Allied Families==
The following families are connected to John Howland via marriage to descendants:

[[Gorham (Y-DNA)|Gorham]] (Capt. John Gorham married Desire Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on STR markers for two descendants

[[Chipman (Y-DNA)|Chipman]] (Elder John Chipman married Hope Howland). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M223 based on 37 STR markers for a descendant

[[Dickinson (Y-DNA)|Dickinson]] (John Dickinson was the second husband to Elizabeth Howland).

[[Hawes (Y-DNA)|Hawes]] (John Hawes married Desire Gorham). Y-DNA predicted to fall under I-M253 based on the 37 STR markers for two descendants

==Background==
Names in '''bold font''' have Y-DNA descendants who have Y-DNA tested.

===Speculative Origins<ref>The parent clade of R-A9708 is R-A9703. A9703 is currently comprised of ten SNPs. One individual with a Baker surname has Big Y-700 tested A9703+ but A9708-. He lists his Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) as Frederick Baker, born 1850. Research has indicated where this Frederick Baker was baptized at Newnham, Kent, England on 10 Nov 1850. The record did not name a father, but gave his mother's name as Charlotte Baker. Census records indicate where she was unmarried when Frederick was born. Census records also indicate where a James Howland was living in Newnham, age 22 in the UK 1851 Census. He was listed as a servant and living in the household of Thomas Baker Elvy who was named after Thomas Baker, the latter was apparently was an uncle to Charlotte.</ref>===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society has hired a noted Mayflower passenger origins researcher (Caleb Johnson) to trace the origins of the Howland family. His first report was printed in ''The Howland Quarterly'' MAR 2016, pp. 10-20.

Johnson reported he found no evidence of the Howland family in Fen Stanton prior to the time of Henry Howland (father of Pilgrim John). We know Henry was living there as early as 1604, when his son, Simon, was baptized (from the Bishop's Transcript records). Unfortunately both the Parish records, and the Bishop's Transcripts are mostly missing from this time period, so we cannot state when Henry moved to Fen Stanton, nor know whether any of the other children were born there or elsewhere.



A Big Y-700 test result of an individual who does not bear the Howland surname documented where he shares all of the Fen Stanton Howland SNPs with a single exception A9708. Researching the patrilineal ancestry of this individual revealed where he is a Howland descendant from Kent, England. A researcher looked through the early English probate records for Howlands in Kent found the wills of the following: Henry Howling of Brook (1479/80), John Howlene of Brook (1554/55), Simon Howlyn of Brabourne (1522/3) and Simon Howlend of Wye (1524). Any of these may be of the patrilineal line of the Fen Stanton Howlands.

===Biography===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-21 '''John Howland''']<ref>[https://pilgrimhall.org/john_howland.htm Pilgrim Hall Museum] John Howland biography.</ref> was the son of [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Howland-326 Henry Howland] and his wife [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-42345 Margaret] of Fen Stanton, Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England. His death record<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=wm4xUcRsk-sC&q=John+Howland#v=snippet&q=John%20Howland&f=false Plymouth Church records I:147(173)]</ref> stated he died 23 Feb 1672[/3] in his "eightieth yeare". The [http://www.Pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org Pilgrim John Howland Society] as well as the [https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ General Society of Mayflower Descendants] accepts an estimated birth date of 1592 for John based on this death record.

Per [http://mayflowerhistory.com/howland/ Caleb Johnson:]
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">It has been traditionally reported that John Howland was born about 1592, based on his reported age at death in the Plymouth Church Records. However, ages at death were often overstated, and that is clearly the case here. John Howland came as a servant for John Carver, which means he was under 25 years old at the time (i.e. he was born after 1595). William Bradford, in the falling-overboard incident, refers to Howland as a "lusty young man," a term that would not likely have applied to a 28-year old given that Bradford himself was only 30. Bradford did call 21-year old John Alden a "young man" though. Howland's wife Elizabeth was born in 1607: a 32-year old marrying a 17-year old is a relatively unlikely circumstance. Howland's last child was born in 1649: a 57-year old Howland would be an unlikely father. All these taken together demonstrate that Howland's age was likely overstated by at least 5 years. Since he signed the "Mayflower Compact", we can assume he was probably at least 18 to 21 years old in 1620.</blockquote>

John came aboard the Mayflower as a servant to Gov. John Carver. Howland's incident during the voyage was duly cataloged by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Plymouth_Plantation William Bradford]:
<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.</blockquote>

Some speculate Howland came above board in order to get a breath of fresh air. However, others speculate he may have been used by Gov. Carver as an intermediary between the passengers and the crew. It is rumored their landing at Cape Cod (which clearly fell outside of the land the company was originally chartered) may have been a deliberate attempt to re-negotiate this charter for terms more favorable. If true, it is possible John Howland may have served a vital role in this decision.

John Howland survived the great sickness during the winter of 1620-21 and apparently took over as the head of Gov. Carver's household after the Governor's death in Apr 1621. At this time, "households" were not only family members, but was a means of housing the passengers in the new colony.

It is believed John married [[Joan Hurst & Elizabeth Tilley (mtDNA)|Elizabeth Tilley]] sometime after Aug 1623. This was presumably the fifth marriage in the colony (after Edward Winslow, Francis Eaton, John Alden & William Bradford [married 14 Aug 1623]). It is also believed they were married sometime prior to the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/landdiv.html 1623 division of land], which actually occurred during what we now consider the first three months of 1624 (Jan - Mar.) This date of marriage is also consistent with the births of their two oldest children (Desire ca 1625 & John who told Judge Sewell he was born 24 2[mo, Apr] 1627.) These two were also included in the [http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/plymouth/cattlediv.html 1627 division of cattle].

Nathaniel Morton's eulogy: <blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">The 23th of February 1672 Mr. John Howland senir of the Town of Plymouth Deceased; hee was a Godly man and an ancient professor in the wayes of Christ; hee lived untill he attained above eighty yeares in the world, hee was one of the first Comers into this land and proved a usefull Instrument of Good in his place & was the last man that was left of those that Came over in the shipp Called the May Flower, that lived in Plymouth; hee was with honor Intered att the Towne of Plymouth on the 25 of February 1672.</blockquote>

John (II)(1627-1699), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Hope]] (1629), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Elizabeth]] (1631), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Lydia]] (1633), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Hannah]] (1637), (Capt.) Joseph (1640-1703), (Lieut.) Jabez (1644-1711), [[Joan_Hurst & Elizabeth_Tilley (mtDNA)#Second Generation: |Ruth]] (1646) and (Ens.) Isaac (1649-1723). Several descendants of (Lieut.) John have done Y-DNA testing as well as one descendant of (Capt.) Joseph and one descendant of (Liet.) Jabez. The DNA test results (primarily STR testing) show all of these descendants are genetic/biological cousins and have identified the Y-DNA haplogroup for the Howland family.

==DNA Results '''A9708'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Several patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland have had their Y-DNA tested at Family Tree DNA. In addition, four patrilineal descendants of John's brother, Arthur, and several patrilineal descendants of his brother, Henry, have also been tested. See the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Howland?iframe=ydna-results-overview Howland Surname Y-DNA Project]

Utilizing STR results to determine whether a male Howland descends from Pilgrim John Howland, or one of his brothers is quite risky. STRs are prone to mutate much quicker than SNP results, and they are also prone to back mutations (which hides the mutation) and parallel mutations (where the same mutation happens in two separate lines). Given these risks, and predictions based on STR mutations really need to be confirmed with either traditional "paper-trail" research, or SNP testing to prove the relationship.

Within the 111 STR results, the four descendants of Arthur Howland all have DYS464a=16 (while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have DYS464a=15). In addition, three of the four Arthur descendants have DYS576=18 (while the descendants of John & Henry as well as the fourth Arthur Howland descendant has DYS576=17). Both of these mutations show up within the first 37 STR markers (and everyone in the project has tested at least 37 STRs). Given the fact there are two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both DYS464a=16 and DYS576=18 are descendants of Arthur while males who have only one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Arthur.

Fewer individuals have extended their STR marker testing to 111 markers. We currently have three descendants of Arthur, four descendants of Pilgrim John and four descendants of Henry who have tested 111 STRs. The four descendants of Henry all have DYS485=14 (with all others being DYS485=15) All four also have DYS505=11 (with all others being DYS505=12). Once again, because we have two separate STR mutations, it is likely that male Howland descendants who have both mutations are descendants of Henry while males who only have one of these mutations '''might''' be a descendant of Henry.

There are no STR mutations (within the 111 STRs) found to be in common with Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, but in general, results which do not have any of the above STR mutations are likely to be descendants of Pilgrim John.

===NGS/WGS DNA testing===
Currently, there are eight Y-DNA Howland descendants who have taken the Big Y-700 test. Two are Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim John Howland, three are descendants of Henry and three are descendants of Arthur. They all fall under [https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u106/about Haplogroup R1b-U106] where they have been classified as: Z9>Z30>Z2>Z7>Z8>Z1>Z344>Z6>A96>S10415>A9703>A9708 This last clade is comprised of a single SNP (which is available for testing at YSEQ.org).

The three Henry Howland descendants (from two different sons, Zoeth and Samuel) have tested positive for FGC58211 and FGC58203 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Arthur have tested negative for these SNPs. The three Arthur Howland descendants have all tested positive for FT62784 while the descendants of Pilgrim John and Henry have tested negative for this SNP.

The two descendants of Pilgrim John Howland do not share any SNPs in common with each other, but the do have a STR mutation (within the additional 600+ STRs tested by the Big Y-700) which is not shared by descendants of Arthur or Henry. FTY1094=17 is found in descendants of Pilgrim John while the descendants of Arthur and Henry both have FTY1094=16. Ideally, we would like to have more Pilgrim John Howland descendants take the Big Y-700 test to confirm whether or not this mutation is found in all Pilgrim John Howland descendants (or to pinpoint when this STR mutation occurred).

===Availability of Y-DNA SNP testing===
Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) currently does not offer individual Y-SNP testing and the only test they have to discover your Y-SNPs is the Big Y-700 test (regular price US $449, but they do have sales on this test from time to time). However, YSEQ does have [https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=23383&osCsid=ff8e8a0b0438d0092cce73f75797197d A9708] for purchase (US $3.00 for the DNA sample kit and US $19.00 for the Y-SNP test).

===Usefulness of ''Big Y'' and ''Y-Elite tests''===
DNA mutations are random events, like the roll of a dice. As they are random, we can't say exactly how long it has been since a mutation occurred. However, just like rolling a seven on a pair of dice, we know how often a mutation should occur on average. For the part of the Y chromosome covered by a typical Big Y-700 test, this is about once per two to three generations, but it could vary from having more than one mutation in a generation to going several generations without a mutation.

Consequently, most of the time, we don't expect to separate a father and a son with a mutation we find. Indeed (while it isn't generally recommended), there have been a number of cases where both a father and his son have taken a Big Y test. In most cases, neither test shows a mutation the other doesn't. However, there are exceptions to this. These are caused not only by new mutations in the son's test, but also slight differences between the two Big Y tests.

Big Y, like all such tests, reads chunk-sized pieces of DNA. Depending on how these chunks are split up, slightly different parts of the Y chromosome will be tested. So two Big Y tests might only overlap on 98% of the mutations they test. The other 2% of mutations will only be called in one test or the other. Alternatively, they may be accurately read in one test, but read below the threshold for quality control in the other test. Consequently, there may be more "private" mutations that separate two people than we expect.

The real importance in doing the Big Y or Y-Elite test is the ability to compare your results with others. This works at all different levels.

We currently have a number of Big Y (and similar test) results across the Howland family. This has allowed us to determine where the A9708 clade belongs the Howland family, descendants of Henry Howland (c1565-1635) of Fen Stanton, England. As more Howlands take this type of test we will be able to determine subclades defining his descendants, eventually separating the families of his three sons (John, Henry & Arthur) and later defining more recent branches.

It also works in the opposite level, in discovering related surnames. Originally, the Wing family was the closest non-surname match to the Howlands. However, recently another Big Y tester came in and was found to be positive for a SNP not found in the Wing family but found within the Howland family (A9701). This other tester descends from a Rogers family (NOT related to Thomas and Joseph Rogers of the Mayflower). Going further back in time, Big Y results shows where the Howland/Rogers family shares a clade (S10415) with the following families: Wing, Maybury, Baldwin, Rogers, Bishop, and Foat. More families are found at each clade level above S10415 which shows the degree of relationship similar to first, second, third etc. cousins.

Recently an individual (who does not bear the Howland surname, but almost certainly has an NPE and Howland ancestry in England) has Big Y-700 tested and been found to be positive for all of the Howland SNPs exceptA-9708. Thus this individual descends from a fairly close ancestral Howland of the older Henry Howland of Fen Stanton. This person's ancestry is from Kent County so it is likely this is also where the patrilineal ancestry of Henry Howland is from.

Another related item is the ability to estimate the age of each of these clades. We know the age of the Howland family in America starts with the birth of their father, Henry Howland ca 1565. The Howlands all share at least eleven SNPs not found in the next closest family (Rogers). While the mutations are random events, so we cannot state precisely how much time elapses between one mutation and another, we can say a mutation happens '''on average''' a little over every 80 years. Thus, the Rogers family is roughly 80*11=880 or so years before ca 1565 (or roughly 650 AD). The other surnames at the S10415 level are one SNP above the Howland/Rogers clade (A9701), so dates roughly to 575 AD or so.

===The Howland teeth===
The Pilgrim John Howland Society (PJHS) owns several acres of land at Rocky Nook, Kingston. This land included the home (in late life) of Pilgrim John Howland (which was inherited by his son Jabez) and across the Road (Howland Lane) the homestead of Joseph Howland (son of Pilgrim John) which was inherited by Joseph's eldest son, James. For many years, the PJHS has been exploring the sites with archaeological digs. During one such dig at the Joseph Howland site, two wisdom teeth (third molars) were discovered, which were apparently extracted from someone living at the house. This home site appears to have been abandoned sometime after the death of James Howland, so it is likely the teeth were either from one of Joseph Howland's children or one of James Howland's children. The PJHS is currently exploring the possibility of having DNA testing performed on the teeth.

==Summary of findings==
We currently have two patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John Howland who have publicized their NGS/WGS test results. One descendant is from John (II) and the other descendant is from Jabez (both sons of Pilgrim John). These two descendants do not share any SNPs which are not shared by the patrilineal descendants of Pilgrim John's brothers, so there is currently no SNP which definitively documents all of Pilgrim John's line (as separate from his brothers lines). The John (II) descendant has documented two SNPs not found in the Jabez line (A9705 and Z18598) while the descendant of Jabez has documented two currently unnamed SNPs not found in the John line (13599901 and 12315744). Thus anyone who falls into the Howland A9703 clade who also tests positive for one of these four SNPs must descend from Pilgrim John. But not all Pilgrim John patrilineal descendants would test positive for any of these four SNPs. In addition, any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for A9705 or Z18598 must descend from John, son of Pilgrim John; while any A9703+ individual who also tests positive for 13599901 and/or 12315744 must descend from Jabez, son of Pilgrim John.

A9705 has been made available for individual SNP testing, but for technical reasons Z18598 is not able to be made available.

We now need to identify where along the line of descent the A9705 and the unnamed SNPs occurred.

2026-08-18T16:12:14Z

MayflowerDNA1620: /* NGS/WGS testing */

==Status summary==

===Completed as of August 18, 2026: ===
* Identified the Y-DNA Haplogroup for the Gorham family of Barnstable. The family falls under the I-FTD60129 clade.
* Recruiting patrilineal (all male line) John Gorham descendants for NGS/WGS testing. Any male who believes they are such a descendant should [[Read me First|<big>'''Read me First'''</big>]]
* Documented where Miles Gorham of Virginia (c1625-1683) is somehow related to the Gorham family of Barnstable.

<big>'''IMPORTANT: [[Read me First|Read me First'''</big>]]

===Still to do as of August 18, 2026===
* Develop subclades below I-FTD60129 by testing more John Gorham patrilineal descendants.

===Southern Gorham Family===
Miles Gorham of Virginia is the earliest known patrilineal ancestor of a large branch of Southern Gorhams. Two of his patrilineal descendants have Big Y-700 tested and their test results document where they both fall under I-FTG4139, a subclade of the Barnstable Gorham family clade of I-FTD60129. This indicates Miles Gorham must somehow be closely related to the Gorham family of Barnstable. Given the fact Miles was apparently born ca 1625, it appears he does not descend from Capt. John Gorum but shares a patrilineal ancestor with Capt. John.

==DNA Results '''I-FTD60129'''==
===Previous DNA testing===
Currently, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gorham?iframe=ydna-results-overview Gorham surname DNA Project] has four Y-DNA results individuals claiming either (Capt.) John Gorum or Miles Gorham as their patrilineal ancestor.<ref>One of the individuals has a Non-Paternal Event, as he falls under a different haplogroup R1b.</ref> From Y-STR results, the family is predicted to fall under Haplgroup I-M253 <ref>One has also taken the Big Y-700 and falls under BY82922.</ref> There are currently two other Gorham's who have taken some Y-DNA testing at FTDNA and they both fall under I-M253 and are matching with one of the Gorhams in the Gorham surname Project.

===NGS/WGS testing===
As of August 2026, we have four individuals who have Big Y-700 tested.<ref>One of the individuals falls under a totally different haplogroup: R1b so this individual must have a break somewhere in his patrilineal line.</ref> The three individuals fall under I-DF29>Z58>Z138>S2293>Z2541>S19185>S23519>S20030>A13207>A13216>Y94629>BY82922>FTD60129. Two of these individuals actually descend from Miles Gorham of Virginia and fall under a subclade of I-FTD60129>FTG4139.

===Additional NGS/WGS testing needed===
Testing more patrilineal (all male line) descendants of John Gorum may well reveal distinctive haplogroups for Capt. John and Miles as well as defining branches of descendants.

MayflowerDNA1620: /* Previous Y-DNA testing */

==Status summary==

===Completed as of August 18, 2026: ===
* Identified the Y-DNA Haplogroup for the Gorham family of Barnstable. The family falls under the I-FTD60129 clade.
* Recruiting patrilineal (all male line) John Gorham descendants for NGS/WGS testing. Any male who believes they are such a descendant should [[Read me First|<big>'''Read me First'''</big>]]
* Documented where Miles Gorham of Virginia (c1625-1683) is somehow related to the Gorham family of Barnstable.

<big>'''IMPORTANT: [[Read me First|Read me First'''</big>]]

===Still to do as of August 18, 2026===
* Develop subclades below I-FTD60129 by testing more John Gorham patrilineal descendants.

===Southern Gorham Family===
Miles Gorham of Virginia is the earliest known patrilineal ancestor of a large branch of Southern Gorhams. Two of his patrilineal descendants have Big Y-700 tested and their test results document where they both fall under I-FTG4139, a subclade of the Barnstable Gorham family clade of I-FTD60129. This indicates Miles Gorham must somehow be closely related to the Gorham family of Barnstable. Given the fact Miles was apparently born ca 1625, it appears he does not descend from Capt. John Gorum but shares a patrilineal ancestor with Capt. John.

==DNA Results '''I-FTD60129'''==
===Previous DNA testing===
Currently, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gorham?iframe=ydna-results-overview Gorham surname DNA Project] has four Y-DNA results individuals claiming either (Capt.) John Gorum or Miles Gorham as their patrilineal ancestor.<ref>One of the individuals has a Non-Paternal Event, as he falls under a different haplogroup R1b.</ref> From Y-STR results, the family is predicted to fall under Haplgroup I-M253 <ref>One has also taken the Big Y-700 and falls under BY82922.</ref> There are currently two other Gorham's who have taken some Y-DNA testing at FTDNA and they both fall under I-M253 and are matching with one of the Gorhams in the Gorham surname Project.

===NGS/WGS testing===
As of August 2024, we have three individuals who have Big Y-700 tested.<ref>One of the individuals falls under the R1b Haplogroup.</ref> Two of the individuals fall under I-DF29>Z58>Z138>S2293>Z2541>S19185>S23519>S20030>A13207>A13216>Y94629>BY82922>FTD60129. Since these two individuals fall under two different sons of John Gorum, we know John himself must fall under this haplogroup as well.

===Additional NGS/WGS testing needed===
Testing more patrilineal (all male line) descendants of John Gorum may well reveal distinctive haplogroups for Capt. John and Miles as well as defining branches of descendants.

==Status summary==

===Completed as of August 18, 2026: ===
* Identified the Y-DNA Haplogroup for the Gorham family of Barnstable. The family falls under the I-FTD60129 clade.
* Recruiting patrilineal (all male line) John Gorham descendants for NGS/WGS testing. Any male who believes they are such a descendant should [[Read me First|<big>'''Read me First'''</big>]]
* Documented where Miles Gorham of Virginia (c1625-1683) is somehow related to the Gorham family of Barnstable.

<big>'''IMPORTANT: [[Read me First|Read me First'''</big>]]

===Still to do as of August 18, 2026===
* Develop subclades below I-FTD60129 by testing more John Gorham patrilineal descendants.

===Southern Gorham Family===
Miles Gorham of Virginia is the earliest known patrilineal ancestor of a large branch of Southern Gorhams. Two of his patrilineal descendants have Big Y-700 tested and their test results document where they both fall under I-FTG4139, a subclade of the Barnstable Gorham family clade of I-FTD60129. This indicates Miles Gorham must somehow be closely related to the Gorham family of Barnstable. Given the fact Miles was apparently born ca 1625, it appears he does not descend from Capt. John Gorum but shares a patrilineal ancestor with Capt. John.

===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Y-STR testing of two Gorham descendants give a predicted haplogroup of I-M253. NGS/WGS testing still needs to be done to determine where the family falls under I-M253.

==DNA Results '''I-FTD60129'''==
===Previous DNA testing===
Currently, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gorham?iframe=ydna-results-overview Gorham surname DNA Project] has four Y-DNA results individuals claiming either (Capt.) John Gorum or Miles Gorham as their patrilineal ancestor.<ref>One of the individuals has a Non-Paternal Event, as he falls under a different haplogroup R1b.</ref> From Y-STR results, the family is predicted to fall under Haplgroup I-M253 <ref>One has also taken the Big Y-700 and falls under BY82922.</ref> There are currently two other Gorham's who have taken some Y-DNA testing at FTDNA and they both fall under I-M253 and are matching with one of the Gorhams in the Gorham surname Project.

===NGS/WGS testing===
As of August 2024, we have three individuals who have Big Y-700 tested.<ref>One of the individuals falls under the R1b Haplogroup.</ref> Two of the individuals fall under I-DF29>Z58>Z138>S2293>Z2541>S19185>S23519>S20030>A13207>A13216>Y94629>BY82922>FTD60129. Since these two individuals fall under two different sons of John Gorum, we know John himself must fall under this haplogroup as well.

===Additional NGS/WGS testing needed===
Testing more patrilineal (all male line) descendants of John Gorum may well reveal distinctive haplogroups for Capt. John and Miles as well as defining branches of descendants.

===Southern Gorham Family===
Miles Gorham of Virginia is the earliest known patrilineal ancestor of a large branch of Southern Gorhams. Two of his patrilineal descendants have Big Y-700 tested and their test results document where they both fall under I-FTG4139, a subclade of the Barnstable Gorham family clade of I-FTD60129. This indicates Miles Gorham must somehow be closely related to the Gorham family of Barnstable. Given the fact Miles was apparently born ca 1625, it appears he does not descend from Capt. John Gorum but shares a patrilineal ancestor with Capt. John.

'''References'''
<references />

===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Y-STR testing of two Gorham descendants give a predicted haplogroup of I-M253. NGS/WGS testing still needs to be done to determine where the family falls under I-M253.

==DNA Results '''I-FTD60129'''==
===Previous DNA testing===
Currently, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gorham?iframe=ydna-results-overview Gorham surname DNA Project] has four Y-DNA results individuals claiming either (Capt.) John Gorum or Miles Gorham as their patrilineal ancestor.<ref>One of the individuals has a Non-Paternal Event, as he falls under a different haplogroup R1b.</ref> From Y-STR results, the family is predicted to fall under Haplgroup I-M253 <ref>One has also taken the Big Y-700 and falls under BY82922.</ref> There are currently two other Gorham's who have taken some Y-DNA testing at FTDNA and they both fall under I-M253 and are matching with one of the Gorhams in the Gorham surname Project.

===NGS/WGS testing===
As of August 2024, we have three individuals who have Big Y-700 tested.<ref>One of the individuals falls under the R1b Haplogroup.</ref> Two of the individuals fall under I-DF29>Z58>Z138>S2293>Z2541>S19185>S23519>S20030>A13207>A13216>Y94629>BY82922>FTD60129. Since these two individuals fall under two different sons of John Gorum, we know John himself must fall under this haplogroup as well.

===Additional NGS/WGS testing needed===
Testing more patrilineal (all male line) descendants of John Gorum may well reveal distinctive haplogroups for Capt. John and Miles as well as defining branches of descendants.

===Southern Gorham Family===
Miles Gorham of Virginia is the earliest known patrilineal ancestor of a large branch of Southern Gorhams. Two of his patrilineal descendants have Big Y-700 tested and their test results document where they both fall under I-FTG4139, a subclade of the Barnstable Gorham family clade of I-FTD60129. This indicates Miles Gorham must somehow be closely related to the Gorham family of Barnstable. Given the fact Miles was apparently born ca 1625, it appears he does not descend from Capt. John Gorum but shares a patrilineal ancestor with Capt. John.

'''References'''
<references />

===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Y-STR testing of two Gorham descendants give a predicted haplogroup of I-M253. NGS/WGS testing still needs to be done to determine where the family falls under I-M253.

==DNA Results '''I-FTD60129'''==
===Previous DNA testing===
Currently, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gorham?iframe=ydna-results-overview Gorham surname DNA Project] has four Y-DNA results individuals claiming either (Capt.) John Gorum or Miles Gorham as their patrilineal ancestor.<ref>One of the individuals has a Non-Paternal Event, as he falls under a different haplogroup R1b.</ref> From Y-STR results, the family is predicted to fall under Haplgroup I-M253 <ref>One has also taken the Big Y-700 and falls under BY82922.</ref> There are currently two other Gorham's who have taken some Y-DNA testing at FTDNA and they both fall under I-M253 and are matching with one of the Gorhams in the Gorham surname Project.

===NGS/WGS testing===
As of August 2024, we have three individuals who have Big Y-700 tested.<ref>One of the individuals falls under the R1b Haplogroup.</ref> Two of the individuals fall under I-DF29>Z58>Z138>S2293>Z2541>S19185>S23519>S20030>A13207>A13216>Y94629>BY82922>FTD60129. Since these two individuals fall under two different sons of John Gorum, we know John himself must fall under this haplogroup as well.

===Additional NGS/WGS testing needed===
Testing more patrilineal (all male line) descendants of John Gorum may well reveal distinctive haplogroups for Capt. John and Miles as well as defining branches of descendants.

===Southern Gorham Family===
Miles Gorham of Virginia is the earliest known patrilineal ancestor of a large branch of Southern Gorhams. Two of his patrilineal descendants have Y-DNA tested and their Y-STR and Big Y-700 test results indicate they are somehow related to the Gorham family of Barnstable. Given the fact Miles was apparently born ca 1625, it appears he does not descend from Capt. John Gorum but shares a patrilineal ancestor with Capt. John.

<references />

===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Y-STR testing of two Gorham descendants give a predicted haplogroup of I-M253. NGS/WGS testing still needs to be done to determine where the family falls under I-M253.

==DNA Results '''I-FTD60129'''==
===Previous DNA testing===
Currently, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Gorham?iframe=ydna-results-overview Gorham surname DNA Project] has four Y-DNA results individuals claiming either (Capt.) John Gorum or Miles Gorham as their patrilineal ancestor.<ref>One of the individuals has a Non-Paternal Event, as he falls under a different haplogroup R1b.</ref> From Y-STR results, the family is predicted to fall under Haplgroup I-M253 <ref>One has also taken the Big Y-700 and falls under BY82922.</ref> There are currently two other Gorham's who have taken some Y-DNA testing at FTDNA and they both fall under I-M253 and are matching with one of the Gorhams in the Gorham surname Project.

===NGS/WGS testing===
As of August 2024, we have three individuals who have Big Y-700 tested.<ref>One of the individuals falls under the R1b Haplogroup.</ref> Two of the individuals fall under I-DF29>Z58>Z138>S2293>Z2541>S19185>S23519>S20030>A13207>A13216>Y94629>BY82922>FTD60129. Since these two individuals fall under two different sons of John Gorum, we know John himself must fall under this haplogroup as well.

===Additional NGS/WGS testing needed===
Testing more patrilineal (all male line) descendants of John Gorum may well reveal distinctive haplogroups for Capt. John and Miles as well as defining branches of descendants.

===Previous Y-DNA testing===
As of 14 Aug 2026, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/BARTLETTDNA?iframe=ydna-results-overview Bartlett DNA Project] Subgroup: "RF - Descent from Robert Bartlett who came to Plymouth, Mass in 1623; branches to NC, VA, KY, TN and others; one exception to this descent is under close study" has 44<ref>One of the testers does not descend from Robert Bartlett, but is a close SNP match to the family.</ref> testers, all who are close STR matches with each other and 13 of the members state their Most Distant Known Patrilineal (all male line) Ancestor (MDKPA) was Robert Bartlett.<ref>In addition 10 individuals claim Joseph Bartlett born ca 1765 was their MDKPA and one individual claims Joshua Bartlett b. 1768 was their MDKPA.</ref> FTDNA predicts they fall under R1b-M269 based on their STR results.

===NGS/WGS testing===
Five individuals claiming descent from Robert Bartlett have taken a Big Y test which documents the haplogroup for Robert Bartlett himself was P312>>U152>Z56>BY3548>Z43>Z145>BY1823>BY28794>PF6582>PF6577>BY3953>BY109876>FTH65483. Two testers (both descended from Joseph2)<ref>The shared lineage of these individuals is as follows: Robert1, Joseph2, Joseph3, Joseph4. Thus this mutation likely occurred somewhere along this lineage.</ref> fall under a subclade of BY109876>BY142576 while two other individuals claim descent from Benjamin2 fall under a different subclade of BY109876>BY166945<ref> The fifth individual claims they descend from Bejamin (2), but he falls under the Joseph (2) subclade of BY142576.</ref> This does not automatically mean that Joseph himself had the BY142576 mutation, rather it means everyone who has this mutation must be a descendant of Joseph. In a similar vein, it does not automatically mean Benjamin himself had the BY166945 mutation, rather it means everyone who has this mutation must be a descendant of Benjamin.

This last fact is key to the several Southern Bartlett families. The FTDNA project also documents six individuals descended from Joseph Bartlett of Virginia (c1765-c1836) and other Southern Bartlett lines falling under BY166945. This proves where these Southern lines must descend from Benjamin2 Bartlett. As we have more patrilineal descendants of Benjamin Bartlett Big Y tested, we may be able to further refine the lineages of these Southern Bartlett families.

There are several individuals who have not been able to trace their "paper trail" back to Robert Bartlett, but whose Y-DNA results indicate where they do in fact descend in a Y-DNA line from Robert. These individuals are not currently listed on the below chart, but efforts will continue on attempting to place them.

===Lines of Y-DNA tested individuals===
The following diagram lists those Y-DNA descendants of Robert Barlett who have done Y-DNA testing. Those individuals in '''Bold text''' have taken a NGS/WGS test (like the Big Y or Y-Elite) and those individuals in ''Italic text'' are individual's whose DNA results show they are '''not''' a Y-DNA descendant of Robert Bartlett. The other individuals have taken either Y-STR and/or Y-SNP testing, but have not taken any NGS/WGS test.

As of 14 Aug 2026, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/BARTLETTDNA?iframe=ydna-results-overview Bartlett DNA Project] Subgroup: "RF - Descent from Robert Bartlett who came to Plymouth, Mass in 1623; branches to NC, VA, KY, TN and others; one exception to this descent is under close study" has 44<ref>One of the testers does not descend from Robert Bartlett, but is a close SNP match to the family.</ref> testers, all who are close STR matches with each other and 13 of the members state their Most Distant Known Patrilineal (all male line) Ancestor (MDKPA) was Robert Bartlett.<ref>In addition 10 individuals claim Joseph Bartlett born ca 1765 was their MDKPA and one individual claims Joshua Bartlett b. 1768 was their MDKPA.</ref> FTDNA predicts they fall under R1b-M269 based on their STR results.

===NGS/WGS testing===
Five individuals claiming descent from Robert Bartlett have taken a Big Y test which documents the haplogroup for Robert Bartlett himself was P312>>U152>Z56>BY3548>Z43>Z145>BY1823>BY28794>PF6582>PF6577>BY3953>BY109876>FTH65483.

In a similar vein, it does not automatically mean Benjamin himself had the BY166945 mutation, rather it means everyone who has this mutation must be a descendant of Benjamin.

This last fact is key to the several Southern Bartlett families. The FTDNA project also documents six individuals descended from Joseph Bartlett of Virginia (c1765-c1836) and other Southern Bartlett lines falling under BY166945. This proves where these Southern lines must descend from Benjamin2 Bartlett. As we have more patrilineal descendants of Benjamin Bartlett Big Y tested, we may be able to further refine the lineages of these Southern Bartlett families.

There are several individuals who have not been able to trace their "paper trail" back to Robert Bartlett, but whose Y-DNA results indicate where they do in fact descend in a Y-DNA line from Robert. These individuals are not currently listed on the below chart, but efforts will continue on attempting to place them.

===Lines of Y-DNA tested individuals===

Those individuals in '''Bold text''' have taken a NGS/WGS test (like the Big Y or Y-Elite) and those individuals in ''Italic text'' are individual's whose DNA results show they are '''not''' a Y-DNA descendant of Robert Bartlett.

===NGS/WGS testing===
Five individuals claiming descent from Robert Bartlett have taken a Big Y test which documents the haplogroup for Robert Bartlett himself was P312>>U152>Z56>BY3548>Z43>Z145>BY1823>BY28794>PF6582>PF6577>BY3953>BY109876>FTH65483.

In a similar vein, it does not automatically mean Benjamin himself had the BY166945 mutation, rather it means everyone who has this mutation must be a descendant of Benjamin.

This last fact is key to the several Southern Bartlett families. The FTDNA project also documents six individuals descended from Joseph Bartlett of Virginia (c1765-c1836) and other Southern Bartlett lines falling under BY166945. This proves where these Southern lines must descend from Benjamin2 Bartlett. As we have more patrilineal descendants of Benjamin Bartlett Big Y tested, we may be able to further refine the lineages of these Southern Bartlett families.

There are several individuals who have not been able to trace their "paper trail" back to Robert Bartlett, but whose Y-DNA results indicate where they do in fact descend in a Y-DNA line from Robert. These individuals are not currently listed on the below chart, but efforts will continue on attempting to place them.

==DNA results '''R-FTH65483'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
As of 10 Jan 2026, the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/BARTLETTDNA?iframe=ydna-results-overview Bartlett DNA Project] Subgroup: "RF Plymouth, MA & TN" has 35 individuals, all who are close STR matches with each other and 11 of the members state their Most Distant Known Patrilineal (all male line) Ancestor (MDKPA) was Robert Bartlett. FTDNA predicts they fall under R1b-M269 based on their STR results.

===NGS/WGS testing===
Five individuals claiming descent from Robert Bartlett have taken a Big Y test which documents the haplogroup for Robert Bartlett himself was P312>>U152>Z56>BY3548>Z43>Z145>BY1823>BY28794>PF6582>PF6577>BY3953>BY109876>FTH65483. Two testers (both descended from Joseph2)<ref>The shared lineage of these individuals is as follows: Robert1, Joseph2, Joseph3, Joseph4. Thus this mutation likely occurred somewhere along this lineage.</ref> fall under a subclade of BY109876>BY142576 while two other individuals claim descent from Benjamin2 fall under a different subclade of BY109876>BY166945<ref> The fifth individual claims they descend from Bejamin (2), but he falls under the Joseph (2) subclade of BY142576.</ref> This does not automatically mean that Joseph himself had the BY142576 mutation, rather it means everyone who has this mutation must be a descendant of Joseph. In a similar vein, it does not automatically mean Benjamin himself had the BY166945 mutation, rather it means everyone who has this mutation must be a descendant of Benjamin.

This last fact is key to the several Southern Bartlett families. The FTDNA project also documents three individuals descended from Joseph Bartlett of Virginia (c1765-c1836) and other Southern Bartlett lines falling under BY166945. This proves where these Southern lines must descend from Benjamin2 Bartlett. As we have more patrilineal descendants of Benjamin Bartlett Big Y tested, we may be able to further refine the lineages of these Southern Bartlett families.

There are several individuals who have not been able to trace their "paper trail" back to Robert Bartlett, but whose Y-DNA results indicate where they do in fact descend in a Y-DNA line from Robert. These individuals are not currently listed on the below chart, but efforts will continue on attempting to place them.

===Lines of Y-DNA tested individuals===
The following diagram lists those Y-DNA descendants of Robert Barlett who have done Y-DNA testing. Those individuals in '''Bold text''' have taken a NGS/WGS test (like the Big Y or Y-Elite) and those individuals in ''Italic text'' are individual's whose DNA results show they are '''not''' a Y-DNA descendant of Robert Bartlett. The other individuals have taken either Y-STR and/or Y-SNP testing, but have not taken any NGS/WGS test.

==DNA results '''''R1b-M269'''''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Family Tree DNA currently does not have a Taber or Tabor surname DNA Project, but lists 63 Taber tests and 100 Tabor tests. Through a private conversation with a Taber researcher who has collected twelve Y-DNA descendants of Philip Taber who have taken the Y37 STR DNA test. They fall under the R1b-M269 Haplogroup. The NevGen Haplogroup Predictor tool is unable to further refine this prediction.

===Further needed testing===
We would need more Y-DNA descendants of Thomas Taber to take NGS/WGS tests to pin down the haplogroup, as well as possibly define subclades for various branches of the family.

==DNA Results '''I-A20032'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Previous Y-STR testing through the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mayflowersociety?iframe=ydna-results-overview Mayflower Society DNA Project] and the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/GeorgeSoule?iframe=ydna-results-overview Soule surname DNA project] has indicated that the ''Mayflower'' Soule lineage belongs to the Y haplogroup [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_I-M253 I-M253], which is quite common in Northern and Northwestern Europe.

===NGS/WGS Testing===
Big Y testing of multiple patrilineal (all male line) descendants of George Soule has been able to refine the haplogroup/clade of the Soule famile to I-DF29>Z58>Z59>Z60>Z140>Z2535>S1954>S12289>A20032.

Patrilineal descendants of George Soule have begun to identify their own subclades below A20032. All Y-DNA descendants of John (son of George) have been found to belong to a subclade of A20032>BY32573.<ref>Y-DNA descendants of three different sons of John2 all fall under the BY32573 haplogroup.</ref> All Y-DNA descendants of Nathaniel (son of George) have been found to fall under A20032>A20047/ZW20 and all descendants of Sylvanus (son of Nathaniel) have been found to fall under ZW20>A20044. All Y-DNA descendants of George (son of George) have been found to fall into A20032>A22686<ref>This clade is not revealed by Big Y-700 testing, but it is found in Whole Genome Sequence (WGS) testing from other DNA companies like YSEQ, Nebula Genomics and Dante Labs.</ref> and there is an additional sublade A22686>FGC29004.


===Availability of Y-DNA SNP testing===
Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) currently does not offer individual Y-SNP testing and the only test they have to discover your Y-SNPs is the Big Y-700 test (regular price US $449, but they do have sales on this test from time to time). However, YSEQ does have [https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=60800&osCsid=ff8e8a0b0438d0092cce73f75797197d A20032] for purchase (US $3.00 for the DNA sample kit and US $19.00 for the Y-SNP test).

==DNA Results '''I-A20032'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
Previous Y-STR testing through the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mayflowersociety?iframe=ydna-results-overview Mayflower Society DNA Project] and the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/GeorgeSoule?iframe=ydna-results-overview Soule surname DNA project] has indicated that the ''Mayflower'' Soule lineage belongs to the Y haplogroup [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_I-M253 I-M253], which is quite common in Northern and Northwestern Europe.

===NGS/WGS Testing===
Big Y testing of multiple patrilineal (all male line) descendants of George Soule has been able to refine the haplogroup/clade of the Soule famile to I-DF29>Z58>Z59>Z60>Z140>Z2535>S1954>S12289>A20032.

Patrilineal descendants of George Soule have begun to identify their own subclades below A20032. All Y-DNA descendants of John (son of George) have been found to belong to a subclade of A20032>BY32573.<ref>Y-DNA descendants of three different sons of John2 all fall under the BY32573 haplogroup.</ref> All Y-DNA descendants of Nathaniel (son of George) have been found to fall under A20032>A20047/ZW20 and all descendants of Sylvanus (son of Nathaniel) have been found to fall under ZW20>A20044. All Y-DNA descendants of George (son of George) have been found to fall into A20032>A22686<ref>This clade is not revealed by Big Y-700 testing, but it is found in Whole Genome Sequence (WGS) testing from other DNA companies like YSEQ, Nebula Genomics and Dante Labs.</ref> and there is an additional sublade A22686>FGC29004.


===Availability of Y-DNA SNP testing===
Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) currently does not offer individual Y-SNP testing and the only test they have to discover your Y-SNPs is the Big Y-700 test (regular price US $449, but they do have sales on this test from time to time). However, YSEQ does have [https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=60800&osCsid=ff8e8a0b0438d0092cce73f75797197d A20032] for purchase (US $3.00 for the DNA sample kit and US $19.00 for the Y-SNP test).

===First Generation===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Lannoy-16 Philip (Philippe) de la Noye (Delanoy, Delano)] was baptized at the Protestant Walloon church<ref>The majority of the congregation were Walloon, but it also included Flemish refugees (such as the de la Noye's and Mahieu's).</ref> on 6 Nov 1603<ref>Several records give his age and they all converge on 1602, so it appears there was some delay in his baptism.</ref>, son of Jan (Jean) Lano<ref>He was son of Gysbert de Lannoy of Tourcoing per the 1977 TAG article.</ref> of Tourcoing (Flanders, then part of the Spanish Netherlands now part of France, bordering Belgium), and Marie Mahieu of Lille (Flanders, later annexed to France).<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Delano wikipedia article on Philip Delano]</ref> His parents were married at that church some time after the date of their betrothal, 13 Jan 1596.<ref>ibid.</ref> He was the nephew of Hester Mahieu, the wife of Mayflower Passenger, Francis Cooke. Philip originally intended to migrate with the pilgrims in 1620, but due to the inadequacy of the ill-named ''Speedwell'', he was left behind. Philip did emigrate to New Plimoth Colony in 1621 aboard the ''Fortune''.<ref>wikipedia</ref>.

He was likely one of the first individuals who was allowed to farm on land now in Duxbury (circa 1624) and was granted property there the same year it was incorporated (in 1637). Philip was married twice. His first marriage was recorded in Plymouth on 19 Dec 1634 to [[Hester/Esther Dewsbury (mtDNA)#First Generation |Hester Dewsbury]]. She died sometime between 1648 and 1653. He next married (likely at Duxbury) sometime between 1652-1659 to [[Hanson (mtDNA)#Second Generation |Mary PONTUS Glass]], daughter of William Pontus and widow of James Glass. Philip died at Duxbury sometime shortly before the inventory of his estate was taken (4 Mar 1681/2).

Philip and his first wife Hester had the following children:
1) Mary, born about 1635. She married [[Dunham (Y-DNA)#Second Generaton |Jonathan Dunham]], but they never had any children
2) Philip, born about 1637 (see below)
3) Thomas, born about 1639 (see below)
4) Esther, born about 1641.<ref>Not named in her father's estate, so possibly died young.</ref> She may have been the wife of [[Abraham Sampson (Y-DNA)#Second Generation |Samuel Sampson]] and [[Soule (Y-DNA)#Second Generation |John Soule]]
5) John, born about 1644 (see below)
6) Jonathan, born about 1648 (see below)

Philip and his second wife Mary had the following children
7) Jane, born about 1655. Last mentioned in her father's 1682 probate record
8) Rebecca, born about 1657. She married John Churchill and had five children.
9) Samuel, born about 1659 (see below)

===Second Generation===

==DNA results ''I1-M253''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/weston_worldwide?iframe=ydna-results-overview Weston Worldwide surname DNA Project] Group 06 has one individual claiming a Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) as Edmund Weston b. 1605. This individual has not done any SNP tested, but has done Y67 STR testing. FTDNA predicted the family would fall under the I1-M253 Haplogroup. Plugging in the STR values into the Nevgen Haplogroup Prediction tool comes back with an unsupported clade, so we cannot currently refine FTDNA's prediction.

===Further needed testing===
We need direct male-line Weston descendants of Edmund Weston to WGS/NGS test to both confirm the lineage as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.

Anne & Little James passengers (Y-DNA)

MayflowerDNA1620: /* Male Anne and Little James passengers */

==Male ''Anne'' and ''Little James'' passengers==

In 1623, Anne and Little James were the third and fourth ships financed by the London-based Company of Merchant Adventurers to travel together to North America in support of the Plymouth Colony, following Mayflower in 1620 and Fortune in 1621. Anne carried mostly passengers, while the much smaller Little James carried primarily cargo, albeit with a few passengers as well. After a stormy three-month voyage from England, Anne arrived at New Plymouth in early July 1623, with Little James arriving a week or so later.

Between them the ships brought 90-odd new settlers, along with about thirty others who were not part of the core emigrant group. Many of this emigrant contingent would serve the colony well in the coming years, while others would be judged unfit for the hardships of colony life and be sent back to England.<ref> copied from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ships_Anne_and_Little_James Wikipedia]</ref>

Through the research of several experts, including Charles E. Banks, Edward A. Stratton, Robert S. Wakefield, Robert Charles Anderson and others, it is believed this list is complete.

==Biography==
The marriage record<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=5795924490475229&set=pcb.456959273084147 image] and [https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=5795924087141936&set=pcb.456959273084147 transcription]</ref> of George Morton and Juliana Carpenter explicitly states George was accompanied by Thomas Morton, his '''brother'''. For more information see Allen, John K., [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=loc.ark:/13960/t1xd0zb52&view=1up&seq=7 ''George Morton of Plymouth Colony and Some of his Descendants''], pub. by author, Chicago 1908.

===First Generation===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Morton-165 George Morton] was likely the son of George Morton and Catherine Bown,<ref>See George Morton Gen. pp. 3-5 for pedigree.</ref> born in or near Haworth, South Yorkshire, England about 1585.<ref>The statement that he was baptized at Austerfield, South Yorkshire, England 2 Aug 1585 is in error.</ref><ref>George is said to have been part of the landed Gentry and of Royal descent. In addition, it is ''possible'' the paternal grandmother of Gov. William Bradford ''may'' have been Alice Morton, poss. a great-aunt to the George Morton. This would make emigrants William Bradford and George Morton Second cousins. See NEHGRegister 111:68</ref> He was part of the original Separatist congregation at Scrooby which moved to Holland in 1607, eventually settling in Leiden. He married at Leiden, 23 Jul 1612, [[Dilly, wife of Alexander Carpenter (mtDNA)#Second Generation |Juliana Carpenter]].<ref>After George's death, Juliana married [[Kempton (Y-DNA)| Manasseh Kempton]].</ref><ref>Juliana's sister, Alice, married (as her second husband) Gov. William Bradford.</ref> When much of the congregation emigrated on the ''Mayflower'', George and his family stayed behind to help support their cause in Europe and London. It is believed he helped write and published ''Mourt's Relation'', the first published account of the new settlement in 1622. George and his family emigrated to the new colony in 1623 aboard the ''Anne'' and his wife gave birth to one of their sons while on this voyage. He died at New Plimoth in Jun 1624, with the widow remarrying Manasseh Kempton sometime before the May 1627 Cattle Division.

George and Juliana had the following children: Nathaniel, Patience, John, Sarah and Ephraim.<ref>Some sources state he had an additional son, George. This younger George was not accounted for in the 1623 Plymouth Land Division nor named in the 1627 Plymouth Cattle Division. It is believed this younger George was fabricated in an attempt to link Richard Morton of Hatfield to George Morton of Plymouth.</ref>

===Second Generation===

For more information, see Lambert Merrick, Barbara, ed. by Scott Andrew Bartley, ''Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: vol. 24 Brewster''. Names in bold text have had a Y-DNA descendant Y-DNA tested.

===First Generation===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brewster-4 (Elder) William Brewster] was born circa 1566<ref>Brewster deposed in a Leyden affidavit dated 25 Jun 1609 that he was then "aged about forty two years", NEHGReg 18:20</ref> in or near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England, the son of William Brewster & Mary SMYTHE Simkinson.<ref>NEHGReg 124:250-51</ref> <ref>While earlier reports state this William was son of another William and Maud(e) Man(n), this is now in question. The father of Elder William Brewster was almost certainly a widow when he married the widow Mary SMYTHE Simkinson abt 1565. It is quite likely where HE was married to Maud(e) Man(n), both named in the will of Christopher Mann in 1558.</ref> Elder William died at Plymouth on 10 Apr 1644<ref>Gov. Bradford erred, when he stated Brewster died about 18 April. The "Brewster Book" (written by his son Johnnathan) stated William died 10 April 1644. See also NEHGReg 18:18-20</ref>, and Bradford called him "nere fourskore years of age" (ie nearly age 80).

Brewster married about 1592<ref>Johnnathan Brewster is believed to be the eldest son. He recorded his birthdate in a bound volume now called the "Brewster Book" where he states he was born 12 Aug 1593. See MD 1:Frontspiece as well as article 1-ff.</ref> to [[Mary (Unknown) (mtDNA) |Mary _____]] (maiden name unknown despite an extensive search) and they had: Johnnathan<ref>He consistently wrote his name with this unusual spelling in his "Brewster Book" and in other records.</ref> (1593), [[Mary (Unknown) (mtDNA)#Second Generation|Patience]] (c1600), [[Allerton (Y-DNA)#First Generation|Fear]] (c1605), infant (bur 1609), Love (son, c1614) and Wrestling (c1614, never married). Y-DNA descendants of both Johnnathan and Love have completed DNA testing and verified the Y-DNA of Elder William.

===Y-DNA Descendants===
====First Generation====
William and Mary had three sons, but their son, [https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/105106434/person/340043374523/facts Wrestling] never married. Thus the Y-DNA descent comes down through their two sons Johnnathan & Love. Y-DNA STR and Big Y-700 testing have been done on both lines, and they match up, thus proving the Y-DNA signature for William Brewster. Currently, the descendants of Johnnathan (18 in number) have DYS19=16 while descendants of Love (7 in number) have DYS19=15. There are some unconnected Brewsters who have done Y-STR testing who are DYS19=14, so it appears Love has the ancestral value (DYS19=15) while Jonathan (or his son Benjamin, or Benjamin's son William) had a mutation to DYS19=16.

====Second Generation====

The two oldest sons (William<ref>See Mayflower "Silver Book" Vol. 24 (Brewster) part 1 p. 117</ref> and Johnnathan) are believed to have emigrated back to England, and their further history is unknown. This line continues through son (Capt.) Benjamin.

==DNA Results '''I-FT1754'''==
===Y-DNA testing<ref>See [https://web.archive.org/web/20110622064659/http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/brewster/results] for an old version of worlldfamilies.net site which also gave some of the lineage of the then Y-DNA testers.</ref>===
The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mayflowersociety?iframe=ydna-results-overview Mayflower DNA Project] and the [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/BREWSTER?iframe=ydna-results-overview Brewster/Bruster DNA Project] has recorded a number of individuals who are patrilineal (all male line) descendants of both sons of Elder William Brewster (ie Johnnathan & Love). Almost all of them have only done STR testing to date, with the majority being either 37 STRs or 67 STRs. There is one STR difference between the descendants of Johnnathan (DYS19=16) and the descendants of Love (DYS19=15).<ref>There are some members of the Brewster/Bruster DNA Project who are unable to trace their ancestry back to Elder William Brewster, but whose STR markers indicate they are certainly related to the family. Curiously, they all have DYS19=14.</ref>

===NGS/WGS testing===
Currently three individuals in the project who have done the Big Y-700 test (one descended from Johnnathan, one from Love, and the third unable to document his line back to Elder William.) and their results (as of 30 Jun 2020) all are under I-M253>Z17954>FGC47136>S2304> Z17942>Z17928>Z17926>Z17924>A9783>A19407>FT1754. The individual who cannot completely document his line shares a mutation (FT759) with the Y-DNA descendant of Johnnathan, which is '''not''' shared with the Y-DNA descendant of Love. This proves this individual '''must''' descend from Johnnathan Brewster. With this information in hand, we have been able to trace a tentative line of ascent back to Elder Brewster. While this lineage may not be completely accurate, it is known he must descend from Johnnathan.

This tentative lineage descends from Johnnathan Brewster to his son Benjamin Brewster to his son William Brewster to his son William Brewster. The proven line descends from Johnnathan Brewster to his son Benjamin Brewster to his son William Brewster to his son Ebenezer Brewster. If the tentative lineage is accurate, then the I-FT759 mutation had to occur either in Johnnathan Brewster, or his son Benjamin Brewster, or his son William Brewster.

===Lineages tested<ref>Two Y-DNA descendants listed on the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brewster-4 wikitree profile for William Brewster]</ref>===
The following are the lineages of the patrilineal descendants who have taken Y-DNA testing. Those in '''bold font''' have taken the Big Y-700 test. There are currently DNA results for all three grandchildren of (Elder) William Brewster (Benjamin, William and Wrestling), so we can verify these generations are genetically/biologically accurate.

==DNA results '''R1b-U152'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/thompson?iframe=ydna-results-overview Thompson (etc.) DNA Project] Subgroup: "Ungrouped" contains one individual who states his Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was "John Thompson b.1616 UK d.1696 Massachusetts". This individual only has 37 Y-STR markers, but has also tested positive for the R1b-P312>>U152 SNP.

===Further needed testing===
We would need more Y-DNA descendants of John Thomson to take NGS/WGS tests to pin down the haplogroup, as well as possibly define subclades for various branches of the family.
