DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah 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 Sarah:
There are an implausible # of children attached to this couple, with implausible birthdates. Apparently Sarah was four years old when she became a mother .
This profile at the MilesFiles [1] may be a good place to start culling all these children. It shows six children:
1. Samuel Bevins (of Samuel II) Turner (merchant)+5 b. c 1728, d. b 31 Aug 1793
2. Joyce (of Samuel II) Turner5 b. c 1730
3. Leah (of Samuel II) Turner5 b. c 1732
4. Jehu (of Samuel II) Turner+5 b. c 1736, d. b 26 Jan 1797
5. Elias (of Samuel II) Turner I+7 b. c 1739, d. a 1825
6. Henry (of Samuel II) Turner5 b. c 1743
The birth dates with the children listed for this couple don't work with the birth dates of the parents. It looks like they are either attached to the wrong parents or the birth dates are rough estimates.
