Webb (Y-DNA)
Contents
Status summary
Completed as of February 28, 2021:
- Recruiting additional direct male-line Christopher Webb descendants for NGS/WGS 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 February 28, 2021
- NGS/WGS test multiple Webb descendants to firmly place family clade as well as discover any subclades unique to descendants lines
Biography
First Generation
Christopher Webb (II) was baptized at Crediton, Devonshire, England 28 Mar 1630, son of Christopher Webb & Humilty Wheaton, and died Braintree, MA 30 May 1694. He married 18 Jan 1654/5 Braintree Hannahh Scott and they had nine children (born Braintree) including Peter and Christopher.
Second Generation
Peter Webb was born Braintree 1 Dec 1657 and died Salem 12 Feb 1717/8. He married twice, first Salem 18 Apr 1683 Ruth Bass and second 1700 Amee/May Hayden. Only any children by his first marriage descend from a Mayflower passenger. These children were: Ruth (1684), Peter (1685 m. Margaret LEAVITT Lincoln), David (1687), Christopher (1689), Hannah (1692-1693), John (1693 m. Mary Alden), Hannah (1694), Joseph (1696 m. Abigail _____) and Priscilla (1697).
Christopher Webb (III) was born Braintree 25 Mar 1663 and died there 7 Feb 1689/90 Mary Bass.[1] and they had: Hannah (1686), Sarah (1688) and Christopher (1690).
- ↑ After Christopher's death, Mary married Braintree 13 Apr 1694 William Copeland.
DNA results
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Webb Surname DNA Project Group: Christopher Webb (grandfather of Peter & Christopher) currently lists seven close STR matches, all claiming Christopher as their MDKPA. None of them have done any Y-SNP tested and all are predicted (by FTDNA) to fall under R1b-M269. Two of the individuals have done Y-67 STR testing. Plugging in the STR values into the Nevgen Haplogroup prediction tool gives a very low prediction of the family falling somewhere under R1b-L21. Other subclades of R1b-P312 are also predicted with extremely low probability. The tool predicted a 75% chance of the result falling under an "unsupported clade."
Further needed testing
We need direct male-line Simmons descendants to WGS/NGS test to confirm and further refine the haplogroup placement.
