Status summary

Completed as of April 15, 2021:

  • Recruiting direct male-line descendants of Joseph Jones for 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 April 15, 2021

  • NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of Robert Jones (and preferably of his son Joseph) to place the family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines

Biography

First Generation

Joseph Jones was baptized 30 Nov 1628 Caversham, Oxfordshire (now part of Greater Reading, Berkshire), son of Robert Jones.[1] The family settled in Hingham, MA about 1637. Joseph died Hingham 18 Jul 1714.

  1. Robert Jones was married multiple times, and given the common name, it is impossible to determine which marriages refer to the father of Joseph.

DNA results TBD

Previous Y-DNA testing

Currently the Jones DNA Project does not list anyone claiming Robert Jones (father of Joseph) as their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA).

Further needed testing

We need additional direct male-line descendants of Robert Jones (and preferably of his son Joseph) to WGS/NGS test to discover the haplogroup/clade for the family.
