DNA results J2a1-PH3882

Previous Y-DNA testing

The Bass(e) surname DNA Project Group: Descendants of Deacon Samuel Bass of Massachusetts currently lists one individual who claims to be a Y-DNA descendant of Deacon Samuel Bass of Massachusetts (father of John). This individual has done Y-37 STR testing and FTDNA predicts they fall under Haplogroup J-M172. However, the project lists 111 Y-STR markers for this group, so it is likely there is at least one other individual who belongs to this group, but has chosen not to publish their results within the surname Project. Plugging the 111 Y-STR results into the Nevgen Haplogroup predictor gives a result of:

J2-M172>>CTS7683>L26>>L25>Z438>CTS1192>L70>PF5430>Z435>PH3882 with a 92.3% probability.[1]
  1. and other subclades of J-L70 are the next three highest probabilities.<.ref>

    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.
