Article Synopsis
- Ancient DNA (aDNA) was analyzed from two skeletons found in the Jamestown church, believed to be related to the colony's first Governor, Thomas West.
- The genomic study identified a shared mitochondrial haplogroup (H10e), indicating a maternal connection between the two men, Sir Ferdinando Wenman and Captain William West.
- This investigation into their DNA also uncovered a hidden aspect of their identity—illegitimacy—that was likely left out of official genealogical records.
