Still to do as of October 31, 2020
- NGS/WGS test multiple Abraham Sampson descendants to firmly place family clade as well as discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

Previous Y-DNA testing
If Abraham Sampson did share a paternal grandfather with Pilgrim Henry Samson, then his Y-DNA clade would be identical to Henry's clade: I2a2a I-M223>P222>CTS616>CTS10057>Z161>FGC3575>S2452>L801>Z165>CTS1977>Y4946>BY526 (Y8935)
Further needed testing
We need direct male-line Abraham Sampson descendants to WGS/NGS test to both confirm the lineage as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
