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:
The birthdate of sister Harriet Oates (Oates-44 born 14 Dec 1814) is less than two months before the birthdate shown for sister Mary Mariah Oates (Oates-213 born 29 Jan 1815). I suggest that one of those dates is incorrect and that documentation is needed.
Later a duplicate by Sabrina StartUp was done 2016 Oates-687
Both appear as daughter of Zilpha Ann Mason-Oates Mason-761
