It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Six by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Six:

I suspect that Sixtus was named after one of the five popes of that name. That would suggest that the family, assuming he wasn't an orphan, was Catholic. If an orphan, raised by the church? Another puzzlement.

I'd really like to see or have cited the primary sources for this info. The Ansbach records do not link Six's supposed parents to Six or his age. These, without more detailed sourcing, don't really tell us anything. Similarly, I can find no original source references to establish Nancy Glenn's birthdate or marriage date. She was Six's first wife and unless someone is suggesting she divorced him in 1798, she couldn't have lived to 1840. Her data keeps getting copied, despite the fact that there appears to be no primary source. Unless Ancestry Family Trees, Familysearch and Findagrave cite original sources, I don't believe we should be using them as sources. All too often, the data included is a guess.

Thanks for your message. Feel free to make changes or add sources you see fit. I adopted this record and cannot account for all of the information that is there. I am slowly going through my spreadsheet of my wikitree records and trying to get them corrected/added to but have a lot to go through.

It's hard to know how to categorize Sixtus. He was conscripted in Ansbach and served for some undefined time with his unit. He then deserted and elected to stay in America. Did he ever serve with American troops? No one knows. Similarly, no record has been produced to state that he arrived in 1781. His unit arrived in 1777 and was reinforced from Germany over the years. There are no known muster lists for the artillery detachment prior to 1781.

Barngrover-53 and Berngruber-1 appear to represent the same person because: Opting for german LNAB but PMs can decide during the merge. Just flip the direction. Same find a grave on both profiles.

We don't actually know when he arrived in America. The Ansbach regiment he was a member of arrived in 1777 and was reinforced over the course of the war.

The match between Barngrover-53 and Barngrover-43 should not have been rejected. They are the same man, although we disagree about some of the details.
