Biography
Mary Walker, daughter of John Walker and his wife Katherine ___, was born about 1634. [1] The place of birth is uncertain. According to Anderson[1], Mary's father arrived in Roxbury about 1633, and removed to Boston about 1637, So, if Mary was born in 1634, she would have been born in Roxbury. The family eventually moved to Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

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:
Walker-57296 and Walker-748 are not ready to be merged because: I do not believe a merge should be completed because of the incomplete profile of the mother of Mary Earl Walker being unfinished which I refused to merge at this time.
Walker-57296 and Walker-748 appear to represent the same person because: same birth year, same parents, same spouse. child n -57296 is correct per Earle source on -748. Death info on -57296 is incorrect based on spouse's 2nd marriage. Please merge
This profile should probably be merged into Mary Walker and a profile for Prudence Unknown created and added as the second wife of William Earle, unless there is a more appropriate way of correcting this. I don't know what the best technical solution is.
Walker-13460 and Walker-748 appear to represent the same person because: same name and husband, Walker-748 is well sourced and the data should be used in the merge
Walker-3240 and Walker-14137 appear to represent the same person because: Looks like these two might be the same person, based on date of death. Perhaps one DOB is not certain--?
Walker-8102 and Walker-5461 appear to represent the same person because: married husband with same ID#, born same location/date. I will research NEHGS tomorrow to see if I can verify date/location of death.
