DNA from 1667 can be detected in 2020
In 2020,
it was discovered that a
DNA match exists between the living descendants of two different children of Edward Hopper,
namely:
Janet Noltie
is 6th cousin of the grandmother of Peter Tily.
Possibly the DNA match is through some unknown closer line.
But unless that is found, it does seem that
DNA from 1667 can be detected in 2020!
