-The exact relationship between George Bonham and Nicholas Bonham is unknown. Some state Nicholas was George's son (by a first unknown wife) while others state Nicholas was George's brother. In this tabulation, Nicholas will be given as a brother. George Bonham had no other surviving Y-DNA line through any of his other children.

 The General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) accepts Nicholas Bonham as marrying Hannah Fuller, and they had (among others) a son Hezekiah Bonham. However, the GSMD currently does '''not''' accept where Hezekiah had a second wife and family. Considerable evidence (including Y-DNA testing) does support a second family for Hezekiah, but more evidence (hopefully from contemporary sources) is needed to confirm the lineages below.

-The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/BONHAM?iframe=ycolorized Bonham DNA Project] Group: BONHAM 1 currently has 25 individuals claiming their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Nicholas Bonham. These include lines descending from the following sons of (Hon.) Hezekiah Bonham by his second wife: Hezekiah, Nehemiah, Amariah, Malachia, Zachariah and Uriah. Some testers have only done Y12 STR testing while others are at various levels including Y111 STR testing. FTDNA has predicted they all fall under the R1b-M269 Haplogroup. One individual has done some Y-SNP testing and been determined to fall under: R-P312>Z46516>ZZ11>U152>PF6658

-NGS/WGS testing of known Nicholas Y-DNA descendants would futher refine the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants.
+Two known Nicholas Y-DNA descendants have taken the Big Y-700 test and their results indicate they fall into: R-P312>Z46516>ZZ11>U152>PF6658>BY54875>BY56334>BY77791. Further testing of patrilineal descendants would likely discover subclades below this clade.
