- Predicted to fall under I-M223 based on 37 STR marker test of one descendant.
Still to do as of February 13, 2020

Background
Biography
John Chipman was the only son of Thomas Chipman of Brinspittle (now Briantspuddle), Dorset[1] Various dates/places for his baptism have been published including 3 Jun 1621 Briantspuddle, Dorset[2] 30 Jun 1614 Dorchester, Dorset[3] as well as 30 Jun 1614 Alderholt, Dorset.[4]
John emigrated to New England in May 1631 aboard the Friendship, arriving in Boston on 14 Jul 1631.[5]. Given the fact he was then 16/17, it is likely he came over with another family as an indentured servant. He originally lived at Plymouth, where (it is supposed) he married Hope Howland, second daughter of Mayflower passengers John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley about 1646[6] Shortly after the birth of their first child they moved to Barnstable, joined the church, and in Apr 1670 John was chosen to be one of the ruling Elders of the church.[7]
Hope died at Barnstable 8 Jan 1683/4[8] John removed to Sandwich, where he wrote his will 12 Nov 1702[9] and he died 7 Apr 1708[10]
John & Hope had nine daughters and three sons (oldest son John died in infancy): Samuel and (another) John.[11]

Previous Y-DNA testing
37 Y-STR marker testing of one Chipman descendant give a predicted haplogroup of I-M223. NGS/WGS testing still needs to be done to determine where the family falls under I-M223.
