One descendant of Thomas, Sr->Thomas, Jr->?-> Mordecai Ham has taken the Y-DNA test and is Group 6
Says his haplogroup is "R-M269 (was R1b1a2)". He matches no other Ham's in VA. It's possible there was an NPE.

Parents are unknown! Not son of Jerome Ham, Jr. See Dave Hamm's comments here:

Jerome Ham is found in earliest records of the area, but no known connection.

Note first records of this Thomas Ham in Caroline Co, VA:

A history of Caroline county, Virginia from its formation in 1727 to 1924, by Wingfield, Marshall

The earliest record of Thomas and Sarah Ham in Caroline is 1727, so he could have immigrated any time before that. "Thomas Ham" also first seen King William Co, VA 1723. https://genealogywise.com/video/ham-counties-of-origin-in
