DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Lucretia 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 Lucretia:
1. Lucretia Hemingway born May 1 1785 is a sister of Jacob Street Hemingway, not his wife. I think she may be the one that married John Smith 1827 in Connecticut.
2. I think a new record should be created for Lucretia Smith (LNAB) who marries Jacob Hemingway in 1808 and has the child Allen. Since she is probably the one found with Allen in future census, maybe she went back to her maiden name and didn't remarry. The Lucretia Smith could also be his aunt Lucretia (Hemingway) Smith, since we don't have records stating how old Allen's mother was at marriage
There are other Lucretia Smith records on Family Search in CT for Census or Find a Grave, some are wives of Samuel, some are in New London / East Lyme area, nothing to John Smith. Any ideas?
