DNA notes

From FamilyTree DNA - Thom(p)son - Results retrieved July 2015:

T-45 and T-68 are descended from Richard Thompson who was born in 1528 in either England or Scotland [the pedigrees disagree on the birth place]. This is another extraordinary match, because these two men do not share a common ancestor for at least eight generations. Their Most Recent Common Ancestor is 

  • William Thompson, b. 1742 MA, who married Lydia Dyer, so he shared their Y-chromosome markers. To confirm the pedigree for earlier generations, we seek descendants from other lines of 
    • William Thompson, b. 1713 MA, m. Mehitable Hillard; 
    • Benjamin Thompson, b. 1684 MA, d. 1750, m. Sarah Aldrich; 
      • John Thompson Jr., b. 1642 MA, d. 1739, m. Thankful Woodland; 
        • John Thompson, b. 1618/19 England, d. 1685, MA, m. Sarah Woodman; 
          • David Thompson, b. c1592, d. 1628 England m. Amyes Colle; 
            • Richard Thompson Jr., b. c1555, d. 1603 England, m. Florence Cromlan; and 
              • Richard Thompson b. 1528.
