Questionable: Elizabeth was born in 1753. She was the daughter of Daniel Adams and Elizabeth Balch. She passed away in 1760.[1]
Rather than what is characterized above as questionable, it seems more likely that this Elizabeth was the woman born on May 26, 1763,[2] who did not die in 1760 but rather married John Bacon on November 18, 1784.[3]. The balance of this profile follows that more likely and well-sourced scenario.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth:
Adams-23513 and Adams-23509 appear to represent the same person because: Two profiles for what once looked like different people, because birth dates differed due to an old transcription error, but are now clearly the same person. Should be merged
Hello. I am not as convinced that this Elizabeth is a profile for the same Elizabeth born to Daniel Adams and Elizabeth Balch. I have come across Mass, US Town and Vital Records, 1620 - 1988 where there is an Elesabeth, d. of Daniel and Elesabeth born 29 Apr 1750 and then Elesabeth, D. of Daniel and Elesabeth, born 26 Mar 1763. I have not found conclusive evidence that they are the same person and there is a transcription error.
