DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Anthony by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Anthony:
Eames-109 and Eames-90 appear to represent the same person because: profile created by mistake, all anthony eames-es are accounted for, please merge into eames-90 for cleanup so he doesn't get re-attached to anyone by mistake
The first source link is an error page. The second leads to a court case of about 1725 listing Anthony Eames Jr. Not the son of Anthony Eames b. 1595 Dorset, England.
Anderson shows seven children for Anthony Eames (GM2:2-387), all born in England, the most recent being Margaret, baptized in 1630. There is no Anthony listed and there is no mention in the narrative of a son, Anthony, or any indication that there might have been more children born after his arrival in 1634,
I want Robert to weigh in on this as well, but I personally am ok with Anne's plan of creating a new Elizabeth Unknown, attached as the wife of Anthony and mother of the Eames children. I have no objection.
Elizabeth Tilden could not have been having children with Samuel Curtis and Anthony Eames at the same time. I have found no references that claim Anthony was married to Elizabeth Tilden, just Elizabeth ____. Whereas at least a couple of sources mention that Samuel Curtis was married to Eliz. Tilden.
Proposal:
Create new Elizabeth Unknown. Attach her as husband of Anthony Eames. Attach the Eames children to Elizabeth Unknown.
Leave Elizabeth Tilden attached to Samuel Curtis and the Curtis children.
The Anthony Eames that married Mercy Sawyer, great granddaughter to Richard Warren, was the son of Mark and Elizabeth Eames. Will remove current parents and attach to correct parents.
Proposal: Create new Elizabeth Unknown. Attach her as husband of Anthony Eames. Attach the Eames children to Elizabeth Unknown. Leave Elizabeth Tilden attached to Samuel Curtis and the Curtis children.
