DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with George by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
As you can see from the attached image. George had no daughter named Margery. currently attached is Martha who has mistakenly been conflated with Margery Hills wife of James Morgan. Also there is attached Margery who I believe is also a case of mistaken identity. She seems to be the wife of Henry Briggs who had a wife Margery, but whether she was a Hill I don't know.
At the moment the plan is to disconnect Martha wife of James Morgan. Create a new Martha d/o George. I Think Margery should also be disconnected but I'll leave that up to the managers.

Martha who both have exact same birth date but different husbands. Per these sources Martha & Margery are twins. Please approve and complete the merge. Thanks for your help. Leigh Anne
