DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Nancy by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Nancy:
Has anyone proven that Nancy is the biological daughter of George? She is not mentioned in George's Will. In her FindAGrave profile, she (and Sarah) are listed as "assigned". Unfortunately, the profile owner HBB was unwilling to share more info on what this meant, but suggested I purchase her husband's book, Descendants of Joshua Brown, for $51. Could she and Sarah be the same Nancy Brown with daughter Sarah Brown mentioned in Van Swearingen's Will, dated 1793 in Ohio County, VA (now Brooke, WV)? The yDNA of my 2 brothers' with surname BROWN since 1844 exactly matches SWEARINGEN. So I'm trying to find details on this non-marital event. Thanks!
Brown-36340 and Brown-8484 appear to represent the same person because: Brown-36340 must be invalid....how can a girl 10 or less have children?Everything available indicates the 1723 date accurate for Nancy's birth year.
And was the first wife of Richard Wells. See the 'Find A Grave' and put her back as wife of Richard but change the date please!
