DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth:
She also had a son Thomas attached, which I've removed. He was a son of the "husband" Eleazer that has been removed. Thomas' birth record is clear that his parents were Eleazer & Ruhamah.
Based upon the information of Bobbie (Madison) Hall, I am going to remove Eleazer Rogers (Rogers-8531) as a husband of Elizabeth. If anyone can find convincing evidence that Eleazer should be listed as Elizabeth's husband, he can be added to this profile at that time.
Mayflower Families Through 5 Generations, Thomas Rogers, Vol. 19:21 has Eleazer Rogers' wife as Ruhama Willis, only child of Richard & Patience (Bonum) Willis of Plymouth, married bef. 1698. Children and text in Eleazer's bio agree with MF5G. The same book says Elizabeth Twining married John Rogers who is also shown as her husband. What is the source for the spouse Elizabeth Twining? Shouldn't she be detached from Eleazer? Or is there a reliable source for that marriage?
John Rogers and Elizabeth Twining was marryed the 19th day of August 1669 (See Mayflower Descendant Vol. 8:90)
