THE
SAMSON KINDRED Y-CHROMOSOME DNA PROJECT
We
are seeking descendants of Pilgrim Henry Samson who
arrived in 1620 on the ship Mayflower and of
Abraham Sampson who is first found in the Plymouth records
as living in Duxbury in 1638. Our goals are to validate
existing lineages and to develop a DNA database, or
signature, of Abraham and Henry in order to identify
and dispel existing confusion of their many descendants.

HELPFUL
TIPS
1.
“Family of Henry Samson Vol. 20, Part 2”:
The GSMD has Henry Samson Vol. 20, Part 2 on their Internet
site. It includes the 5th generation descendants of
Henry’s son James and daughters Dorcas (Samson)
Bonney, ----- (Samson) Hanmore, Hannah (Samson) Holmes,
and Elizabeth (Samson) Sprout. In some instances it
not only names the 6th generation, but also the 7th
and their spouses. Part 3 has similar information for
the remaining children Stephen and Caleb. Daughter Mary
who married John Summers/Somers apparently had no children.
All 3 Parts can be ordered online at
http://www.themayflowersociety.com/book.htm.
2.
Proving descent from Abraham Sampson (in Duxbury by
1638): For those who have proven their descent from
John Alden or Myles Standish, if you are descended from
their granddaughters Lora(h) or Lydia, you have also
thereby proven your descent from Abraham Sampson because
the sisters married Abraham’s sons Abraham (II)
and Isaac respectively and are eligible for our “Active”
category membership (see Constitution
& Bylaws).
You
need merely submit photocopies of those particular Alden
or Standish papers to our Kindred genealogist that bear
the signature of the GSMD Historian General if the date
thereon is 1983 or later. If you don’t have a
signed copy, you can obtain one by sending a request
along with your GSMD number (found on the “Mayflower
Quarterly” label above your name) and a $10 check
payable to “GSMD” to: Historian General,
GSMD, P.O. Box 3297, Plymouth, MA 02361-3297.
