Three different Scranton's have now been tested; from the branches of, John Scranton of Guilford, Thomas Scranton of Warwick and Stephen Scranton of Rhode Island who settled in New Hampshire.  The groups tested do not share a common paternal ancestor in the last twelve generations.  This means John Scranton (b. 1609) of Guilford and Thomas Scranton (b. 1610), were not brothers.  The two decedents tested from these branches have only a 39% chance of a common ancestor in 24 generations.  They are very distant cousins at best.

The Stephen Scranton (b. 1762) branch and the Thomas Scranton (b. 1610) branch are more closely related; with the decedents tested having a 70% chance of a common ancestor in 24 generations.

What we have learned is that there are at least three separate Scranton lines in America that may join at some point more than 24 generations in the past and long before coming to this country.
