DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Hannah 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 Hannah:
It is uncertain whether John Elderkin’s so-called daughter Hannah—whose Wikitree birth data (Dedham, 13 May 1634) is baseless—was an Elderkin or, like her (half-?)sister Paltiah/Paltiel, a Kinsley by birth. See comment dated 4 Dec. 2023 at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Elderkin-19.
I wonder if this is a mistake on her marriage. I have her as my husband's 8th great grandmother married to Richard Handy II. The 3 children I have with them is Richard III, Hannah and Isaac. My information came from family and the book Mass. Town and Vital Records. Would love to know where this information came from that you have.
I do believe that Hannah Elderkin born 1634 and Richard Hendee Sr. born 1631 were married in 1661. I do not believe that Hannah Elderkin was married to both Richard Hendees in this Puritan Neighborhood. I am therefore removing Richard Hendee born 1611 as a Spouse of Hannah Elderkin.
Hannah's birth date conflicts with parents supposed marriage. Are there convincing sources for any of her dates? If not, they should be removed or at least tagged uncertain. Otherwise lets get them documented.
