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.
