First Generation

John Drew is said to have been born Sharpham, Somerset, England 9 May 1642, son of William Drew & Elizabeth Matthews.[1] He died Halifax, MA 27 Jul 1741. He is first found in Plymouth Colony in 1660, but there is some dispute about whether he was first at Plymouth or Duxbury. He married Plymouth 1672 Hannah Churchill and they had (among other children) John and Samuel.

Second Generation

(Dr.) John Drew (II) was born Plymouth 29 Aug 1676 and died Halifax bef 11 Jul 1745. He married Middleborough 9 Jan 1705/6 Sarah Delano and they had six children (born Middleborough): John (c1703), Thomas (c1706), Mary (c1707), Elizabeth (c1709), Jemima (c1715) and Abigail (1716).

Samuel Drew was born Plymouth 21 Feb 1678 and died Kingston 21 May 1739. He married twice, first Kingston 1701 Lydia _____ and second aft 1722 Ruth Delano. By his first wife he had eight children (not descended from any Mayflower passenger). Samuel & Ruth apparently did not have any children.

Third Generation

John Drew (III) was born Middleborough abt 1704 and died aft 7 Jun 1762. He married Middleborough 25 Jan 1727/8 Susanna Bennett and they had ten children: Peter (1728 m Zerviah Wood), Mary (1731), Sylvanus (1732 m Anne ___), Lydia (1735), Deborah (1737), Hannah (1739), Priscilla (1742), John (1744), Cornelius (1747) and Jedidiah (1749).

Thomas Drew was born Middleborough abt 1706 Halifax and died 14 Jun 1770. He married Bridgewater 16 Aug 1739 Abigail Haris and they had eight children: Thomas (c1740 m Lucy Tomson), Sarah, Jemima (1746), Isaac (1748 m Welthea Bradford), Ezra (1749 m Elizabeth Holmes), Abigail (1751), Mary (1753) and John (1759).

  1. This birth and parentage still needs to be verified.

DNA results J-CTS2906

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Drew Family Y-DNA Project Group: 0 - John of Plymouth et.al. currently has three individuals.[1] None of the three have done any Y-SNP testing, but one of the three has done Y-67 STR testing[2] One individual has done the Family Finder test and from that test he falls under:J-M92>PF5141>Z504>FGC45412>CTS4132>CTS2906.[3]

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing would confirm or refute this haplogroup assignment and likely refine it further.

Speculation

The J2a (M410) haplogroup is rarely found in England. While uncommon overall, it is mostly found in areas formerly part of the Roman Empire. It is known where the Roman Empire sent auxillary troops from various parts of its empire to Brittania (now England) during their occupation of the island. Some auxillary troops stayed in the area they were stationed after they retired from the service and raised families. As such, it is possible the patrilineal (Y-DNA) ancestor of this Drew family may have been one of these auxillary soldiers who served in what is now England.


  1. One of the individuals does not claim John Drew as their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA), but has the modal values for the 37 STR results of the two other individuals in this group, both known to be Y-DNA descendants of John Drew.
  2. This individual is the one who lists a different MDKPA, but their Y-DNA signature indicates he is a Y-DNA descendant of John Drew.
  3. NevGen gave the number 1 prediction as M92>>CTS2906>S8230 with a 72.73% probability.
