     "DNA TESTING RESULTS Direct descendants of Gerrard here have undergone testing of the male Y-chromosome and found to be very close genetic matches. This chromosome is passed almost unchanged from a father to his biological sons. Two samples from two distant male Banks cousins who were purported descendants of Adam Bankes (purported son of Gerrard here) have undergone testing in 2005 The results show a close match of 37 markers between the two men. This confirmed the DNA profile up to Gerard Banks of Amherst Co. Virginia. This family profile was further confirmed up to the son of Adam Bankes by testing a descendant of Adam through a different grandson in 2006. In 2007, a male English descendant of Gerrard with the surname Bancks was tested and found similarly to be closely related to the other three men. And in late 2007, a descendant of Evan Banks of the Walton-le-Dale area of Lancashire (later in Preston) similarly matched these other men. And in Sep 2009, a descendant of James Banks of mid-1700s Standish was found related to all these men., In addition, four other families with different surnames are nearly as close genetically to the tested Banks subject. One is the Rushton family of Colne, Lancashire, traced to the early 1700s there. The results suggest this family shares a common ancestor with the Bankses in the 1400s, 1500s or 1600s. Likewise a Powers family of Ireland, and a Newsom family of London and a Lord family of London are similarly related, but little is known of their origins.

     "The only child with this Gerrard name in that period with a baptism in Wigan was son of Gilbert Bankes. However, Gilbert did not mention him as his child in his 1611 will in which he spoke of his five children and listed them. So Gilbert's son Gerrard will probably have to be considered deceased by that time. Yet the name Gilbert persisted among Gerard's descendants, and Gilbert was listed as Gilbert Bankes, Gent. And Gerard and sons seem to be referred to as Mr. Bankes, a title which was then reserved for middle gentry or upper-class families.

     "In the book, The Bancks of Bewdley, by Richard A. Williams, p 34-35, it is noted that the coat of arms used by Wigan Free Grammar School in Wigan which existed as early as 1579 bore the coat of arms used by the Bancks families from Wigan. One William Bancks seems to have been the Bancks responsible for starting this school. This book quotes notes from Anna Maria Bancks that her grandfather Robert of Bewdley had notes saying this school was founded by Banckses and the arms were the same as used by our family in 1819. The crest, according to p. 29, includes a gryphon (a lion with the head and wings of an eagle) holding a cross with equal sides -- all of this part of the crest and found both on the Bancks memorial, Ribbersford church and pewterware. This does not seem to be the same crest used by the knighted Banks families which typically has fleur-de-lis, and topped in the crest by a Moor's head or a stork.
