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:
ERROR: According to the Biography for Mary Agnes Croasdale (Croasdale-2), she and William Wilberfoss Smith III were married on Quaker date 20 da., 09 mo., 1690. This date properly converts to 20 Nov 1690 (not 20 Sep 1690).
I have made the birth date firmly 30 October 1669, with a Quaker Monthly Meeting source, and removed a note suggesting wrongly that 8th month=December - the Quaker 8th month was October.
Croasdale-22 and Croasdale-2 appear to represent the same person because: All factors, excepting date of death, appear to be in sync. Looking at sources, and substantiation for variance from a merge might be? If it is a question of the birth of Ralph, is there sufficient cause to believe that Mary Croasdale and William Smith did indeed have a Ralph?
Croasdale-15 and Croasdale-2 appear to represent the same person because: they have similar vital statistics and spouse information. If you agree that these are two profiles for the same person, please merge Croasdale-15 into Croasdale-2. Thank you!
I'm sure there were many Smiths and Croasdales. Also I do not see a Ralph 'son' mentioned in my research.
