DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth:
Elizabeth Gochenour, 1733-1800, was the wife of Abraham Beery. She was not Mary or Elizabeth Mary and she did not have a daughter Mary. Her only daughter was Magdalena Beery, twin of Christian Beery b June 26, 1777. (The Mary was an error from an early Beery History) Her other children were Abraham, 1762, Nicholas, 1764, John, 1767, Jacob, Sep 11, 1769, George 1773, and then the twins. (From "Beery Family History" by Judith Garber and William Beery, 1957)
Elizabeth Gochenour was the daughter of Jacob Gochenour and his first wife whose name is unknown. Jacob did marry Anna Stirz. If he fathered any children with her it was only his last child, Magdalena.
Actually, let me revise that (I just went to disconnect him as a spouse of Anna & thought better of it). He & Anna could very well have married in 1734 (Hartman died 1733), but it's doubtful all of Jacob's kids were by Anna (who was born about 1694, based on her 1712ish marriage to Hartman).
And that would mean that Elizabeth could very well be Anna's child by Jacob. But not all of his children (nor were they mostly by the previous wife, whose marriage to Jacob shows 1730).
I think whoever Jacob Gochenauer married, it wasn't the Anna Stirtz who was the widow of Harman Hunsaker! Even if she'd lived long enough to have that many children by him, she'd have been in her 60s for the last ones (assuming 1 every 2 years).
Elizabeth Mary Gochnour, [Gochnour-1] and Elizabeth Gochenauer, [Gochenauer-1] Birth dates are 10 years apart, files are crossed needs more spouses, offspring birth dates parallels records found, i.e.
Anna Stirz Married twice given credit for 13 children with Jacob Gochnuaer. Were only married 4 years from 1734 until 1738. (Anna's second Marriage)
Elizabeth Gochenour was the daughter of Jacob Gochenour and his first wife whose name is unknown. Jacob did marry Anna Stirz. If he fathered any children with her it was only his last child, Magdalena.
