Status summary
Completed as of March 23, 2021:
- Recruiting additional direct male-line Jonathan Higgins descendants for further SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact Raymond T. Wing (email: wing.genealogist AT gmail DOT com)
Still to do as of March 23, 2021
- NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of Jonathan Higgins to firmly place family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines
Biography
First Generation
Richard Higgins was born about 1603. He married Lydia Chandler and among other children had: Jonathan
Second Generation
Jonathan Higgins was born Plymouth in Jul 1637 and died aft 21 May 1711. He married twice, first Eastham 9 Jan 1660 Elizabeth Rogers and second aft 16 Jul 1679 Hannah Rogers. By his first wife they had six children: Beriah (1661), Jonathan (1664), Joseph (twin 1666/7), Jemima (twin 1666/7), Hannah (c1672) and Elisha (c1677). By his second wife, they had five children: Elizabeth (1680), Mary (1682), Rebecca (1686), James (1688) and Sarah (1690).
Third Generation
DNA results R-DF89
Previous Y-DNA testing
The O'Higgins - Higgins DNA Project Group R1b documents three individuals who state their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Richard Higgins (c1603-1675). None of them have done any Y-SNP testing, but one of them has done 111 Y-STR testing. While FTDNA only predicts the family would fall under R1b-M269, plugging in the 111 Y_STR values into the Nevgen.org haplogroup predictor comes up with: R1b U106>Z381>Z301>S1688>U198>>DF89 with 100% probability.
Further DNA testing needed
NGS/WGS testing of descendants of Richard Higgins (and preferably of Jonathan Higgins) would further refine this prediction.
