Previous Y-DNA testing

The Hathaway Y-DNA Project Group: R-U198 "type G" documented at least one Y-DNA descendant of Arthur Hathaway, who apparently has taken a Big Y test. He has been assigned to: R-U106>>Z381>>U198>S15627>DF89>FGC12305>PH1254>FGC12307>FGC48449>JFS0004>FGC48444>FGC78280>FGC48445>JFS0058>JFS0263

We need additional Y-DNA descendants of Arthur Hathaway to take a NGS/WGS test to confirm the lineage as well as likely further refine the haplogroup assignment.
