DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha 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 Martha:
Franklin-212 and Franklin-4732 appear to represent the same person because: Their husbands had exactly the same birth and death information. The Marthas are not as well sourced, but clearly are both meant to be the wife of the same David Aylesworth.
