DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Lydia 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 Lydia:
I am the granddaughter of Isaac Newton Cannon 1888 MO-Son of James W Cannon (Dora Catherine Brown) 1857 AL- Son of Isaac Newton Cannon (Sarah Ann Poe) 1832 NC - Son of Isaac Newton Cannon (Sarah Martin Barbee) 1792 NC-Son of Isaac Pennington Cannon (Sarah Speake) 1759 SC - Son of Samuel Cannon 1745 (Lydia Jane Pennington) - Son of John Cannon 1712 (Martha Alexander) Dover, Kent Eng.
Pennington-2137 and Pennington-1780 appear to represent the same person because: These are definitely the same person. Other than the spouse, everything lines up. To my knowledge, Samuel is her spouse, not Thomas. I am descended from their daughter Mary.
