DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Christina 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 Christina:
Rank-11 and Ronk-402 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. Now that I've proposed the other merge, we might as well get on with the show and merge all of her profiles to Ronk-402.
Ranck-3 and Ronk-402 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. Proposing merge right now in order to test my theory on how the merge-approval clock works. Anyway, Ronk seems to be as good a LNAB as we are going to find.

I went to the compare screen and clicked on "Merge." That re-recorded my approval and updated the merge clock. It now reads Last updated 2016-08-02 15:04:29.
Sorry, but removing the birthdate didn't resolve the date issue with this profile. The sources cited are census records from 1880, and the other child credited to this woman was born in 1845. It is not possible for a woman who gave birth to a daughter in 1763 to have been alive for the 1880 census.
It appears to me that the mother of Deborah Ostrander was a different person from the woman who was the mother of John H. Ostrander and who was listed on the 1880 census.
Peter Shenandoah Ostrander married Catherine Reed. They were in Colorado before 1870. He was son of Alexander. Peter S. has been confused with the husband of Christina Rank. Peter S was born in 1815. The husband of Christina was born seven decades prior.

John H. was born in 1811 and Deborah was born in 1763.
