Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
I have photos of two of the daughters of Frances Wilcoxson Cook and all three appear to have been taken about the same time....between 1865 and 1870. Taken most likely in Shelby County, KY as she was living there with her daughter, Nancy Cook Kesler/James at least the last ten years of her life. Mary Cook is my gtgt grandmother, born 1810 and died 1890.
Wilcoxson-547 and Wilcoxson-269 appear to represent the same person because: identical marriage, however, son, John attached to Wilcoxson-547 is incorrect.
