DNA Results TBD
Previous testing
The Payne Family DNA Project does not list anyone claiming their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Thomas Paine.
NGS/WGS testing
NGS/WGS testing of Thomas Paine Y-DNA descendants would identify the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants.
