 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-FT1754 mutation had to occur either in Johnnathan Brewster, or his son Benjamin Brewster, or his son William Brewster.
