DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
"soon DNA will prove Col. John Wigton Fleming is next and finally to Amonute Matoaka (Rebecca) "Pocahontas" [RolfePowhatan-3] will be able to be proven as our common ancestor because of our X-DNA Match or at least strengthen the Ancestry"

Colonel Robert Bolling was son of Robert Bolling (first of his name- in Virginia), and his second wife Anne, daughter of John Stith of Brunswick County, Virginia ( Drury Bolling’s first wife was Jane Ralph of Pocahontas descent).Ann was granddaughter to Mary Hannah Crewes the 13th maternal grand mother to my X-DNA Match Megan Speiss https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O0xvaFSiYyPDDURggjnAgYwItRCx8A-I/view?usp=sharing
Hi Liz, I had to take my time looking over all the duplicates that were created yesterday in the Pocahontas descendants so set it up that way. It's all merged now.
Once again, I removed Thomas Fleming that was born in Connecticut. The proper Thomas Fleming is already on here. Do not add this profile as a child, please.
Removed Thomas Fleming (Fleming-4998) as a child as there was no evidence that 1) Thomas Fleming died in Canada 2) That these were his parents. WHAT IS KNOWN that Colonel Thomas Fleming had his Will probated in Goochland, Virginia. If someone can get that Will, we will be able to find the right evidence to link him to Benoni.
Bolling-643 and Bolling-94 appear to represent the same person because: same spouse, data appear to align, parents in corresponding profiles need review
"soon DNA will prove Col. John Wigton Fleming is next and finally to Amonute Matoaka (Rebecca) "Pocahontas" [RolfePowhatan-3] will be able to be proven as our common ancestor because of our X-DNA Match or at least strengthen the Ancestry"
PS Also My DNA Trail suggest and mapped out that Benjamin Bolin Bowlin [Bolling-79] (see profile pick) is in fact son of Mary Bolling [Bolling-94] https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nm0MLCldfyyW8S5FdulUQ8Y5kempnmNA/view?usp=sharing

"This a a story and has been perpetuated for years in various books etc. (eg. the book by Fuqua) At this time THERE IS NO PROOF OF A CONNECTION!" https://www.geni.com/people/Ursula-Tarleton/6000000000701018590. Keeping this legion in mind, I do have DNA prof that is X-DNA and also many DNA lines of mine suggest link through, see profile note John Wigton Fleming [Fleming-23], I have most of the lines to my matches to him with links to the mapped out profiles on WikiTree but to make the X Matches work they have to connect To William Ruthven or his wife through this profile like this ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eDj5CgR_gJRz4Gafm-TXf_KXCW3meTWV/view?usp=sharing) and then my X-trail to them like this (https://drive.google.com/file/d/15-8g6LdeUPs2DF6u5GhWpIiNt4Zx5TT4/view?usp=sharing )
