DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah 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 Sarah:
I'm going to remove this Sarah Weathers-40 (daughter of John Withers and Judith Foreman) as the wife of John Barton and mother of Charity (Barton) Owsley. I strongly suspect that this Sarah married Jacob Rhodes, father of Henry Rhodes-3453. I will do my best to find out which Sarah Withers was married to John Barton.
If the birth date must be pushed back into the 1730s, the Parentage has to change, however her listed grandfather died in 1729 so he would have needed to basically die close to Q4 '29 with her born close to Q1 '30.
The birth year (1756) is likely very off. This would mean she was only 4 years old when her daughter Tabitha was born in 1760. The bio says she was born about 1730, which seems more plausible.
