DNA results I2-BY526
Previous Y-DNA testing
Since Abraham Sampson shares a paternal grandfather with Pilgrim Henry Samson, his Y-DNA clade would be closely related to Henry's clade. Two Y-DNA descendants of Henry and two Y-DNA descendants of Abraham have taken Big Y tests and both of them fall under the following clade: I2a2a I-M223>P222>CTS616>CTS10057>Z161>FGC3575>S2452>L801>Z165>CTS1977>Y4946>BY526 (Y8935)>Y12052>FTB708. The descendants of Henry fall under the FTB4532 subclade of FTB708 while the descendants of Abraham fall under the FTB635 subclade of FTB708.
Further needed testing
We need direct male-line Abraham Sampson descendants to WGS/NGS test to to delineate descendant clades.
