DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
Miller-13178 and Miller-226 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same dates. Death information (1781) on Miller-226 belongs to her sister, Katherine. See obit image on Miller-13167. Source for Mary's death (1799) is on Miller-13178.
If you agree these are duplicates, please complete the merge.
Miller-226 and Miller-13178 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, same birthdate, same husband. Also, the Irish Quaker family list for James and Katherine Miller shows that they only had one daughter named Mary. Therefore, it is clearly the same person. The only dispute here is the date of death. If that cannot be settled, a note to that effect can be included in the Research Notes.
Miller-13180
Miller-13161
Miller-13166
Miller-13189
do not appear to be children of Lightfoot-297
as there is no source indicating she married or bore children prior to age 18 or in a location other than Northern Ireland. Note she immigrated to America in the year of her death, 1729.
Miller-13178 is a possibility in case the source for the year of immigration is wrong.
father Miller-227
mother Lightfoot-388
daughter Miller-226 (unsourced)
is in conflict with the group
Miller-5650
Lightfoot-297
Miller-13167 (sourced)
Proposed and completed merges deal with this.
If you agree these are duplicates, please complete the merge.
Thank you.
