Recent DNA results are as follows:

Conclusion (based on a very small sample size): The James and Richards lines are related. The Pennsylvania line is not related to James/Richard, or to either Jabez lines. The two Jabez lines are not related to each other, or to the James/Richard or Pennsylvania lines. It is startling that the two Jabez groups are so dissimilar.  We need more samples from the Jabez line to resolve this.

 

DNA MATCH LINE 1 (PILGRIM JAMES):

      OSG1 (12 markers): James, Nicholas, Thomas, Daniel.

#1 is a 12/12 exact match for #6, #7, and #8, and an 11/12 match to #5.

 

DNA MATCH LINE 2 (CAPT. JABEZ OF WARE):

      OSG2 (37 markers): Capt. Jabez, Moses, Gideon, Jonas, George, Jonas, George (b. 1861) .

      OSG3 (12 markers): Capt. Jabez, Moses, Gideon, Israel, Harvey, Henry, Everett (b. 1861).

      OSG4 (24 markers): Capt. Jabez, Jeremiah, Jedediah, Israel, Ephraim, Reuben, James.

#3 & #4 are 12/12 exact matches; #2 is an 11/12 match to them. #2 and #4 are 35/37 matches to each other.

 

DNA MATCH LINE 3 (PILGRIM RICHARD):

      OSG5 (12 markers): Richard

      OSG6 (12 markers): Richard

      OSG7 (12 markers):  Richard, Lt. John, Richard, Justus, Justus, Justus Williams, Wallace Gifford, Austin, Frank

      OSG8 (12 markers):  Richard, ? , Samuel, Bartram, John, John B., John

#6, #7, & #8 are 12/12 exact matches; #5 is an 11/12 match to them.

 

DNA MATCH LINE 4 (UNKNOWN - PENNSYLVANIA GROUP)

      OSG9 (12 markers): Jacob Olmsted of PA

      OSG10 (12 markers): Jacob Olmsted of PA

      These two are an 11/12 match to each other; #9 is a 9/12 to Richard; # 10 is an 8/12 Match to Richard, therefore, they are probably NOT related to the Richard group or to James. #9 is a 7/12 match to the Jabez group (Line 2), and a 2/12 to Jabez group (Line 5) to  so are probably NOT related to the either Jabez group.

 

DNA MATCH LINE 5 (CAPT. JABEZ OF WARE ?):

      OSG11 (12 markers): Jabez, Jabez, David, William.

      OSG12 (37 markers): Jabez, Jabez, Edwin, Edward.

      OSG13 (37 markers): Jeremiah, Isaac, Jeremiah, David.

#11 and #12 are 12/12 exact matches, #13 is an 11/12 match to them. #12 and #13 are a 35/37 match to each other. They are a 3/12 match to James, 5/12 to Capt. Jabez, 4/12 match to Richard, and 2/12 match to Jacob. My first cousin, one removed, contributed #13 sample.
