Paternal line Y-chromosome DNA test-takers:
Is there a reliable source for the specific date of birth? I find nothing in the Eastham VRs, and among the sources listed on this profile, only the FAG memorial gives that date, and provides no source for the date. John D. Austin, Mayflower Families Through 5 Generations, Stephen Hopkins, Vol. 6 (Plymouth, MA: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 2001 [3rd edition]), pp. 16, 61 gives him no birth date.
