Biography
- Mitochondrial DNA Confirmed: Craiger-3's direct maternal relationship to Unknown-289997 is confirmed because: This mtDNA test of Franklin-2889 and this mtDNA test of Leiser-61 are a match. Haplogroup K2a3 The most recent common ancestor in the mtDNA line of Franklin-2889 and the mtDNA line of Leiser-61 is Unknown-289997.
Married to John Deese 26 Feb 1839 in Washington Co., AL, she apparently died before 1850, as on 1850 census of Wayne County, MS in the household of her mother Nancy and her half brother Isham Runnells are the following small children bearing the Deese/Dease surname:
- Dick Dease, female age 9 born in AL
- Lucinda Dease, female age 6 born in AL
- Isham Dease, male, age 4 born in AL
By 1860 John is remarried to a much younger woman named Margaret, but Lucinda and Isham/Isam are living with him on the census in St Stephens, Washington Co., AL, which is just across the MS/AL border from where they were in 1850.
