  3. Mary married second aft 14 Dec 1717 William Pabodie (II).
  4. Elizabeth married second Norwich 20 Sep 1749 Thomas Adgate

DNA results[1] R1b-Z17966

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Starr Stoehr Stair Family DNA Project Y-DNA Haplogroup R (Comfort Starr) currently lists three individuals. None have done Y-SNP testing, but two have Family Finder results with FTDNA stating they fall under R1b-L21. Plugging the 111 STR markers into the NevGen Haplogroup predictor came up with a prediction of falling under R1b L21>DF13>CTS1751>Z17966 with a 56.72% probability. All other subclades came back with less than 1% probability and an "unsupported subclade" came back with a 42.4% probability.

NGS/WGS testing of the family would be able to further refine this prediction.

  1. One Y-DNA descendant published his DNA line at: wikitree family tree for Starr
