Research Notes

Hello all of my genetic cousins. I am trying to piece together this family and the relationships that we all have. I am currently entering my AncestryDNA circles, DNA matches and paths to see if I can find how we are all related. I hope you can participate.

Currently, I am trying to find how this couple is related to:

Mary Matilda Robertson

From Mary's page:

From KOROVIEV1 at Ancestry:

Yes, three members of my family, my sister Eunice Bukzin; my maternal aunt, Jane Prescott and my 3rd cousin E Moore Stewart, all have Mary Matilda Robertson as a "New Ancestor Discovery " which means she is potentially an ancestor or relative, according to Ancestry's description. The common ancestors between the Prescotts (my line) and the Stewarts are Patrick Prescott and Diana Ware. They had several children. My line descends from Patrick (Jr) and the Stewart's line descend from their son William Marshall. So Mary Matilda Robertson must somehow be related to to either Patrick (Sr) b. 1837 or his wife Diana Ware.

still trying to find out Patrick's father - most probably a member of the William Marshall Prescott family who owned the plantation - Magnolia Ridge - he worked on. Right now I have his father as Patrick Glaze who is William Marshall's relation on his wife's side, I believe. I have not gotten any DNA confirmations that this is correct. We do not know more about his mother except that she was born in Maryland according to censuses. She most probably was a slave and moved with the Prescotts to Louisiana, however, how she got from Maryland to South Carolina to meet up with the Prescotts is a mystery. Or, she might have been acquired through a family marriage or inheritance. I must get to Louisiana and read the records to find out more.
