DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
FindAGrave, "Sketches of the Shelby, McDowell, Deaderick, Anderson Families', and FamilySearch all have /OAKLEY/ rather than /OAKLAND/. None of these sources is reliable. FamilySearch points to FindAGrave, which has no headstone, and 'Sketches' has no original source listed. As weak as that evidence is, there seems to be nothing hinting at /OAKLAND/.
