DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah 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 Sarah:
One big discrepancy I have not gotten past yet is the birth of her last son. It is stated that, "Her son John Brantly was born in 1849 in Alabama." That would six years after the reported date of death of his mother!
