DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with David by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.

Rosier-281 and Rozier-58 are not ready to be merged because: I found both cases documented but the marriage to Sarah Sherwood is always reported as 23/24 Nov 1688 in VA. In order to match you both need to provide sources and please do not use FamilySearch as your source. Please check Vital Records from Town, County, and State. Regards Bill Wallace
