DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Esther 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 Esther:
Ladd-1125 and Parker-8998 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles represent the 2nd wife of Ephraim Grant. A third profile, Unknown-334465 also is for this same person. All three profiles should be merged into Parker-8998.
Ladd-1125 and Unknown-334465 do not represent the same person because: Superseding this merge with one pertaining to Parker-8998, which should prevail. All three represent the same person.

Ladd-1125 and Unknown-334465 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles describe the 2nd wife of Ephraim Grant. Her maiden surname (LNAB) is not known, so the way to merge is for Unknown-334465 to prevail on the name.

I am removing the parents of Esther. According to the book listed in the Sources, her name is Mrs. Esther Ladd. Ladd was her married name when she married Ephraim Grant. Her parents are not mentioned. I am also editing the Sources.
