DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with David by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with David:
Floyd County Probate Court Order Book 1830-1837 pp. 137-138. I cannot locate original although someone with an LDS church account might be able to access it.
Fannin-100 and Fannin-18 appear to represent the same person because: same birth and death information, plus Rosanna Fannin is one of his known children.
Wife Lydia. children: Rosanna, William, Mary, David, Akilles, Jane, Rachel, Bryant, John, Joseph, George.
