DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ann 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 Ann:
Absent any evidence to the contrary, Ann Echols was NOT known as Ann Waddell Echols. Besides the virtual absence of middle names for individuals born at this time, someone must have confused the fact that Ann's daughter Sarah Marchbanks married Jacob Waddell.
If you want to be more precise, Ann Echols was "probably born in King and Queen County, Colony of Virginia" (her father John Echols was listed in the 1702 Quit Rent Rolls of King and Queen County. That would make the county her probable birthplace though not proven, and I would suggest using King and Queen County rather than just King and Queen)
The marriage occurred "ca. 1722 probably in New Kent County, Colony of Virginia." (She was married presumably at least nine months before 16 March 1724 new style, when the birth of her earliest known child named John Marchbanks was recorded in the St. Peter's Parish Register. The marriage may have occurred in New Kent County, Virginia where the records concerning Ann and her husband first appear. It certainly wasn't in Amelia County, as Amelia County wasn't even formed until 1735. )
And then I'm not sure where this death date comes from, but in any event she "probably died in Amelia County, Colony of Virginia" (again I would specify county and not just put in Amelia, New Kent, King and Queen etc. as these can apply to towns and other geographic locations)
