Annis was born the 29th of August, 1712, at Andover, Essex County, MA, to Josiah Johnson & Annis (Chandler) Robbins[1][2][3] Annis Johnson's birth is derived from the vital records of Andover & from her gravestone photo. She died in 1792 at 80 years old, which means a 1712 birth year. The vital records of Andover have two daus. of Josiah & Annis unnamed, but one was born in 1717, so the other must be Annis.
Annis Johnson married Joshua Church the 19th of November, 1728, at Lancaster, Middlesex (now Worcester) County, MA.[4]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Annis 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 Annis:
UNKNOWN-26565 and Johnson-20817 appear to represent the same person because: Joshua Church only married one woman, Annis Johnson, & he died before she did. This UNKNOWN was the by-product of a long ago gedcom import. I've added the vitals to match Annis & added a brief bio.
