Biography
First Generation
William Merrick (II) was born prob. Duxbury 15 Sep 1643, son of William Merrick[1] & Rebecca Tracy. He died Harwich 30 Oct 1732.

- ↑ William is said to have been the oldest of four brothers who emigrated to Charlestown aboard the James in the Spring of 1636.
DNA Results R1b-Z375
Previous testing
The Meyrick, Merrick Family Project does not publicly disclose their DNA results. However, the administrator has developed a variety of online sites. One of his sites documented the 67 Y-STR results of a Merrick descendant as published at Y-Search.org (now defunct). Plugging in these Y-STR results into the Nevgen.org haplogroup predictor gives a predicted Haplogroup of: R1b U106>Z18>Z17>>L257>>Z375 with a probability of 98.48%.
NGS/WGS testing
NGS/WGS testing of other known William Merrick Y-DNA descendants would refine the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants.
