DNA Results TBD

Previous testing

The Payne Family DNA Project does not list anyone claiming their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Thomas Paine.

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing of Thomas Paine Y-DNA descendants would identify the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants.
