It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Sally:
The children were all listed as born before 1852 and died after 1852 which causes an error message for this profile. Do not change the actual dates now listed please
Howard-3337 and Barnes-1203 appear to represent the same person because: Based on the profile comments of Brinsley Barnes, the surname of Howard for Sarah is incorrect. Based on that information, this profile is Sarah "Sally" Barnes who was married to Brinsley Barnes.
The birth date is under study and I hope to get an approximation from Census records. The Will of the spouse (Barnes-1230) was added today. The scanned copy is difficult to read but it clearly indicates he provided for no spouse when the will was written in 1855.
Swain-1213 and Barnes-1203 appear to represent the same person because: Take care to make sure Barnes-1203 is the profile on the right-hand side when you do the merge.
