You are correct that y-dna and mtdna trace only the maternal or paternal lines, but the "new" autosomal DNA that is now offered by several dna companies (ancestry.com, 23 and me, and FTDNA) trace both paternal and maternal lines.However, it is different in that it doesn't show up the same in every descendant.. It gets sliced and diced every generation so you may be a decendent of someone like Brinsley Barnes and not have one of those dna pieces.If you get multiple matches to him thru different children, it does support lineage.
That said, i have not seen any proof as to his parents (i was more focused on establishing that Elizabeth Lindley was, indeed, his wife.)would love to find some.
