DNA
Trying to connect this line to Townsend through the Coles line since the Coles seem to have been in Oyster Bay, New York generations. Either this line is related to John Mathews-168 and Sampson Archer-619 maybe by uncle John Mathews 1700-1757 and his Archer marriage, There seems to be a mixup between Anne Archer and sister Betsy Archer. One married John Mathews and the other married Robert Renix Rennick.
Trying to connect Samuel Mathews 1680-1718 and wife Elizabeth Braxton 1685-1705.
Trying to connect John Mathews 1625-1690 and Mary Plumley
