Status summary

Completed as of October 1, 2020:

  • Recruiting direct male-line Richard Wright descendants for further SNP testing - anyone interested in submitting their DNA for testing should contact Raymond Wing (email: wing.genealogist AT gmail DOT com)

Still to do as of October 1, 2020

  • NGS/WGS test multiple descendants of Richard Wright to firmly place family clade as well as test descendants to discover any subclades unique to descendants lines


Biography

First Generation

Richard Wright is said to have been born 9 Jun 1609[1] presumably in England and died at Plymouth 9 Jun 1681 "about two hours after being 83 years old."[2] This statement of Richard's age at death has not been verified by this compiler.</ref>

Previous Y-DNA testing

As of 1 Oct 2020, the Washburn, Washburne, Wasbourne, etc. Family Project Subgroup: "Ungrouped" (at bottom) lists six individuals all match each other and claim John Washburn 1607-1670 as their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA). However, another five individuals are in Subgroup: "I-M253 Henry Washburn born 1820 was in Ohio and Bracken County KY" all whom match each other as well as match the six individuals in the "Ungrouped" section at bottom. One of the individuals[1] in the "Henry Washburn" grouping has SNP tested P312>>DF27>Z195>Z198>CTS4188

Further needed testing

More Y-DNA descendants of John Washburn (ideally from his son, John (II)) are needed to do Next Generation Sequence/Whole Genome Sequence (NGS/WGS) DNA testing to further refine the haplogroup for the family as well as try to further subdivide the descendants.


  1. This individual claims Roger Washbourne 1227-1299 was his MDKPA, and it is believed Roger was the Y-DNA ancestor of John Washburn 1607-1670.
