Results back for the fifth participant, a descendant of Benjamin Bickham, one
of the original five brothers of the 'Southern Bickham' line. There is a four marker difference between this participant's
results and those of the three who are sons of George Washington Bickham, son of Hugh Bickham. However, there is only
one marker difference between the fifth participant's results and those of the descendant of Richard Bickham of Burlington,
New Jersey. Perhaps a possibility of a relationship between the these two lines?
27 November 2007
Results back from the lab for the fourth participant. He is also a descendant
of George Washington Bickham, son of Hugh Bickham. His results are an exact match with the other two descendants of
Hugh Bickham.
19 November 2007
Sample kit from fifth participant received by FTDNA.
15 November 2007
Results back on two more participants for a total of three. Two of these
three participants are descendents of George Washington Bickham, a son of Hugh Bickham of Logan County, Ohio, and they both
are an exact match. The other participant is a descendant of Richard Bickham of 1698 Burlington, New Jersey. Three
markers difference out of a twelve marker test, indicating no relationship with the other two participants for whom results
are back. Bottom Line: There is probably no relationship between Hugh Bickham of Logan County, Ohio,
and Richard Bickham of Burlington, New Jersey. By the way, Richard Bickham was a grandfather of the Caleb Bickham who
married Rachel Scull.
