Mary Robeson who married Michael Huling was the daughter of Andrew Robeson and Maria Helm, and was buried in Christ's Church Philadelphia on 27 April 1736.[1]
There appear to have been two Mary Robesons, one who purportedly married Mordecai Lincoln II, the other who married Michael Huling.
The Mary Robeson who married Michael Huling was the daughter of Andrew Robeson and Maria Helm, and was buried in Christ's Church Philadelphia on 27 April 1736.[2][3][4]
The other Mary Robeson, who has been erroneously recorded as the wife of Mordecai Lincoln, was probably the wife of Burgeon Bird, and was born in 1715, the daughter of Israel Robeson (1688-1774; another son of Andrew Robeson and Maria Helm) and his wife Christina Lycon (1691-1731). This would have made Israel's daughter Mary Robeson only about ten years older than her aunt Mary Robeson (born circa 1705) who married Michael Hulings, and could easily be the reason why the two have been conflated/confused. This has also been proven as false. As the Bird family moved to County Screven Georgia, and were living there in 1795[5]

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:
This appears to be a combination of two women. Per the source listed on Michael Huling's profile, his wife died in 1736. The woman that married Huling IS the daughter of Andrew.
