DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rachel by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' 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 Rachel:
There are no sources on this individual. It is highly unlikely that Thomas Beeson and Rachel Pennington would name a daughter Rachel and then the subsequent marriage of Thomas Beeson and Elizabeth Grubb would name a daughter Rachel. More likely that after the death of first wife Rachel, Thomas and Elizabeth Grubb name their second child Rachel. In all source documents, I have not seen this individual.
Beeson-160 and Beeson-2278 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same person. They may not have the same dates of death but they are the same.
