I descend from John who married Sally Gerrish and would be very interested in any Witherell who may want to join our Y-DNA project. We have proven that the line of James of Dover isn't connection to Rev. William Witherell of Scituate or William Witherell of Taunton (the cabin boy). I currently have two other same surnames that are connected by Y-DNA to me and would like to obtain a few more individuals from this line.

Hello. My 5th great grandfather was Witherell Wittum (?1707 - 1784). He and his wife Jemima Hayward were from Bridgewater, MA, but were married in Easton, MA. 1733. As you're probably aware, it was common in those times to name particularly the first son after the mother's maiden surname. Do you know of any Witherells who married a Wittum?

Hi Roger - Haven't run across any Witherel connections to your Wittum parental line. I've done autosomal dna testing, however it is only good back to 4-5 generations. I have a related cousin from our Witherel line back 4 generations who doesn't show up on dna matching. From Y-DNA testing, I do know that my line isn't connected to Rev. William Wetherell nor to the William Wetherell who is the cabin boy. Leave a Reply. |
