Research Notes • The problem with using autosomal DNA matches when confirming descending from members of the Society of Friends is that, due to the requirement to marry within the sect, endogamy, it is difficult to find cousins that are only related through a single couple or person. For example, Joyce Moore Hodges has 42 DNA matches at Ancestry alone with persons who descend from the couple Samuel Stanley and Sarah Williams. Is the large number of matches sufficient to say that there is DNA confirmation?
