DNA

Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Max Rowe, FTDNA kit #113864 and his 5th cousin, FTDNA kit #114463, match at a Genetic Distance of 0 on 67 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Rowe-784 | Joseph ROWE]]. :FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 8 generations is 98.9% ^[3]

In addition:

Paternal relationship confirmed by DNA via TG on chr 14 from 90-98 mbp ranging from 9cMs to 19cMs:

the group consists of two 4C whose MRCA James Hannaford (marr. Stapleton in 1858) who match their 6C2R (and his mother), so the MRCA then becomes James Rowe (marr. Elizabeth Colman in 1814).

the confirmation is pushed back another generation to include James' father Matthias Rowe (marr. Sarah Dunkin in 1785) as the TG also includes Lorna (T087062) , and her maternal aunt GA (T944145) where the MRCA between all of the above are Joseph Rowe / Hannah ?Harris? who married in 1744

Most of these matches are on 23andme and FTDNA, with two on Ancestry, only some on GEDmatch, but enough can be compared to each other to have confidence in this id. ^[4]

Several other triangulated matches at this spot also look promising for further connections but research is incomplete.
