DNA results TBD
Previous Y-DNA testing
As of 18 Mar 2023, a request was made at Family Tree DNA to create a Peabody surname project. In addition, FTDNA fails to list any kits under the Pabodie surname, but does list 28 kits using the Peabody surname.[1]
Further needed testing
We need patrilineal (all male-line) Peabody descendants of William Pabodie to WGS/NGS test to both confirm the lineage as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
- ↑ MF5G vol. 16 [Alden] part 2 [daughter Elizabeth] does document some male Y-DNA descendants of William Pabodie in the 5th & 6th generations. In addition the Alden Kindred genealogy database contains a number of male Pabody/Peabody/etc. of the 7th generation who married and had sons. It is assumed there are still living Y-DNA descendants today.
