Biography

First Generation

Austin (Augustine) Bearse was born in England about 1618[1] and died Barnstable 2 Jun 1686. His wife possibly had the given name of Mary[2] and they had eleven children (Barnstable): Mary (1640-1643), Martha (1642-1643), Priscilla (1643/4), Sarah (1646), Abigail (1647), Hannah (1649), Joseph (1651/2), Hester (1653), Lydia (1655), Rebecca (1657) and James (1660).

  3. ↑ It is currently unknown when the family moved from Barnstable to Pembroke, so it is unknown where the children were born.
  4. ↑ It is currently unknown if this death date pertains to this Shubael, or his son Shubael.

DNA results R1a-Y128954

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Bearse/Bearce Family DNA Project currently (as of 14 Oct 2021) lists three descendants of James Bearse.

NGS/WGS testing

One of the three James Bearse descendants has taken a Big Y test and has been found to fall under the R1a-Y128954 haplogroup. No other Bearse/Bearce Y-DNA descendant in the Bearse/Bearce Family DNA Project has taken a Big Y test so further testing of descendants would almost certainly result in further refining the haplogroup of the family.

Further needed testing

We need direct male-line descendants of this Crocker family to WGS/NGS test to discover where this family falls in the Y-DNA tree.
