Biography
First Generation
John Bass was born 18 Oct 1630[1] at Saffron Waldon, Essex, England, son of Samuel Bass and Anne Seville.

DNA results J2a1-PH3882
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Bass(e) surname DNA Project Group: Descendants of Deacon Samuel Bass of Massachusetts currently list two individuals who claims to be a patrilineal (all male line) descendant of Deacon Samuel Bass of Massachusetts (father of John). One of them has done Y-111 STR testing and FTDNA predicts they fall under Haplogroup J-M172. Plugging the 111 Y-STR results into the Nevgen Haplogroup predictor gives a result of: J2a1 Z387>L70> CTS3601 (possibly FGC6731(456=15,442=11,540=12,510=18)) with a 99.39% probability.
Further needed testing
We need direct male-line Peabody descendants of John Bass to WGS/NGS test to both confirm the lineage as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
