DNA

:There has been much confusion in the Phillips line but y-DNA testing is being used to sift through the many Phillips lines in America (73 identified by January 2012).<ref name='yDNA'>yDNA</ref> :There are 4 Phillips males who have had their y-DNA tested and have been put in Family Group 18. All four of the test takers indicate their descent from Richard Phillips as their most recent common ancestor. Further, they all indicate Richard's grandparents asNicholas Phillips and Abigail (Sewell) Phillips.<ref name='yDNA'/> :Since no genealogical evidence has been found that Nicholas Phillips of Weymouth is the son of Nicholas and Abigail, we cannot attach such a statement to the DNA results. The test results do not indicate that these four ARE descended from Nicholas and Abigail, only that these four are descended from a common Phillips ancestor that they believe to be Nicholas. :NOTE: The members of groups 18 and 19 are not descended from a commonancestor within the last 1000 years. Nicholas Phillips of Weymouth and his descendants from Family Group 18 are not related to the William Phillips clan from Family Group 19.
