DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ruth 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 Ruth:
She well may have been their granddaughter through their son, John, but this Samuel was not her father. Samuel Albro and Alice Rogers were the parents of Waite who she married prior to Potter Hammond. He died in the American Revolution and she then married Potter Hammond who died either in 1781 or 1782, he belonged to a shipping family with the Whipples on his maternal side. He was still relatively young and left Ruth widowed, yet again and pregnant with his only progeny, Potter Hammond, Jr. Ruth Albro is the daughter of John Albro of Exeter per the Vital Records of Rhode Island. Samuel (wife, Alice) was also in Exeter, but there was a John Albro in Exeter in 1774 in the Rhode Island census, a later census shows an Alice Albro and a widow, Ruth Albro, who went on to marry a cousin, William Albro. I believe she ended up in Michigan. Many things need to be fleshed out in this amazing story and if you are interested in this key area, please email me at [email address removed] .
