We now have results back from the lab for three participants in the Bickham DNA Project. Two of these three participants are descendants of George Washington Bickham, a son of Hugh Bickham of Kentucky and Logan County, Ohio. The twelve markers from these two participants are an exact match. No suprise there.
The other participant is a descendant of Richard Bickham of 1698 Burlington, New Jersey. There is a three marker difference from the other two, indicating no relationship between this individual and the other two. This also indicates that there was no relationship between their respective most distant known ancestors - Hugh Bickham and Richard Bickham.
It has been speculated that Hugh Bickham was a son of Caleb Bickham and Rachel Scull. Caleb Bickham was a grandson of Richard Bickham of Burlington, New Jersey. DNA testing is proving that this could not be correct.
What else will DNA testing show? More participants are needed, especially from other Bickham lines. This will give more data to analyze. Contact me for more information.
