Joseph Rowe was born abt 1749 to Joseph and Hannah Rowe and died in 1811.

assumes correct id from the Bere Ferrers burial index, but is highly likely, albeit a tad later than the 29 Sep 1811 when Bickford's Tenement rental was in Elizabeth's name ^[2]

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 Joseph Rowe. :FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 8 generations is 98.9% ^[4]

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. ^[5]
