Previous Y-DNA testing

As of 1 Jan 2022, the Washburn, Washburne, Wasbourne, etc. Family Project Subgroup: "I-M253 Henry Washburn born 1820 was in Ohio and Bracken County KY" lists a number of individuals all matching each other and claiming John Washburn 1607-1670 (or one of his patrilineal ancestors) as their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA). Two of the individuals<has SNP tested I-M253>DF29>Z63>BY151>L849>S2078>S2077>Y6375>Y6384>Y13945>BY40658>BY40607>BY136871

Further needed testing

More Y-DNA descendants of John Washburn (ideally from his son, John (II)) are needed to do Next Generation Sequence/Whole Genome Sequence (NGS/WGS) DNA testing to further refine the haplogroup for the family as well as try to further subdivide the descendants.
