In 2023 a male DeWitt descendant of Wainwright received notice that his Y-DNA data, analyzed by FamilyTree DNA, matches other DeWitt and Witt descendants of John Witt 1612-1675.
Previously, via autosomal DNA testing at Ancestry, he matched at least one descendant of Wainwright's parents Thomas Witt and Rebecca Gott. The matched male descends via Wainwright's probable brother John Witt DeWitt (1758-1820). Contributor: D DeWitt (47056960)
